Uses For Round Leather Lace?

Recommended Posts

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?

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...

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?

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:

Or just single, like this:

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.
