Members Studio-N Posted January 9, 2016 Members Report Posted January 9, 2016 I have an abundance of 2mm leather lace. I'm just wondering what kind of other projects it might be good for. So far I've got: woven bracelet, barbed wire, and necklace. Any other thoughts? Quote
Thor Posted January 9, 2016 Report Posted January 9, 2016 Key fobs. You'll have to braid it though. 2 mm round leather would also work nice for borders or make some sort of tassel from it. You would have to wrap a wire or just some more of this leather around the top... Quote
Members Tannin Posted January 9, 2016 Members Report Posted January 9, 2016 Shoes laces? I tried (rectangular section) leather boot laces back in the 1970s but they never lasted very long, not very strong. Perhaps lacing a garment closed - perhaps something for historic reenactment/LARP/bikers/buckskin? I plaited flat-section leather lace that I had made into a leather wrist lanyard for my primary carving axe - in truth the previous synthetic rope lanyard was probably a more versatile as it could be easily adjusted but the plaited leather looks so much better :D The plaiting also allows it to stretch & flex and fit flat to my wrist, which is so nice. Perhaps some use in book-binding e.g. decorative/protective braided edging or hinge? Quote

Thor Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 Found those two thingies https://www.pinterest.com/pin/557461260105962328/ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/190277152983697591/ Reminds me a bit on a fiadora knot. Btw. it looks good if you use 8 strands and make a 4 strand braid. Like this: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/557461260105962421/ Or just single, like this: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/557461260105962420/ Here's a nice idea for a key fob and some other braids http://stormdrane.blogspot.de/2010_10_01_archive.html Don't dare to ask me how it's being done though . I would have to pull out my braiding book. Quote
