Leather lace

[happyhoof]

Hi I am attempting to make some tack and have bought a couple of different sized buckles.  I have 3mm and 2mm leather lace.  however struggling to find any flat leather lace to fit 1/16th buckles (for the little ponios!)  does anyone know anywhere that sells it (other than Rio Rondo).  Or if I have to cut the leather to size is there a good way to cut it straight? I tried but it was a bit wobbly!!!  Thanks you

Brimble Craft sells really nice lace. But not 1/16th as far as I know.

To help cut a straight line, tape the ends down and use a metal ruler and a sharp craft knife. This tutorial helps to explain the process

Hope this helps?

Thank you so much. That is incredibly helpful. I did tape my lace down but the use of double sided tape is genius. And a metal ruler is on my shopping list as my plastic one now has a very wobbly edge!!! I also noticed the Brimble craft shop sell 2.5mm which is perfect for the 2.7mm buckles I have

I have a plastic ruler that looks like that too ..... metal rulers with a raised finger groove are best, keeps the fingers safe
