Best Leather Strips of 2025

"I love the LolliBeads 3mm Flat Genuine Leather Cord for my jewelry and crafts. The dark brown espresso color is rich and very professional looking. It's soft and flexible, making it a breeze to work with for braiding and stringing. The 5-yard length is more than enough for my projects, and the quality is just fantastic!"

"I received exactly what was shown in the listing. The leather is super sturdy and has a thick feel, making it look and feel more expensive than its reasonable price. I used it to wrap a dagger handle, and with a bit of super glue, it looks professionally done!"

"I created noose knot lanyards for my pocket knives with this cord. It adds functionality and looks chunky and great. I appreciate how the darker, shiny side and the rough side offer different effects. There's enough leather for at least 10 knife lanyards!"

“I love my old table, but the edge veneer chipped. I bought this beautiful soft leather strapping and glued it on. It was a very quick DIY project, and now my table is even more beautiful than before. This product is super easy to use and of good quality. Plus, it's so inexpensive!”

“I bought this to use with a heat embosser, but it melted right through. It seems more like PU faux leather or something similar.”

“This strap isn’t as thick as advertised. I actually prefer your 1” strap over this 2” strap. The thickness isn’t quite what I wanted, but I can still use it. I’d like to know if you have a thicker 2” strap available!”

"I've been on a nostalgic trip for the past two years, reminiscing about my childhood with Pooh and 90s movies. I bought this leather to braid a second 3-strand necklace. While it doesn't quite meet my expectations for a necklace, it's strong and easy to use. I've already made two pieces—one for my Volvo key and another for my wrist. They’ve held up well even with my active lifestyle, including swimming and roughhousing with my dog!"

"My husband needed this product for some projects he was working on, and I found it to be a great value. It offered him a choice of colors, which is a big plus. I would recommend this item to anyone in need of similar materials!"

"This material has proven to be very handy for various home applications. It’s become a go-to resource for me!"

"I used this to add a decorative edge to an upholstery project, and it worked perfectly. The faux leather material requires care with heat or certain chemicals. I adhered it with CA glue, which held very well."

"For my maleficent headpiece, this leather was exactly what I needed. It has minimal stretch, a good sheen without being shiny, and is flexible yet sturdy. However, being faux, the outer material shows wear easily if damaged."

"I bought this imitation leather cord in a beautiful brown color. It's not very thick, making it easy to sew through, even without a leather needle. I used it for adding some brown details on a coat, and I highly recommend it for anyone working with imitation leather or crafting."

"I recently bought the 3/4 leather roll strap for my hobby horse bridles, and it has been a game changer. The quality is outstanding, far exceeding other options I’ve seen. The elegant appearance and smooth texture of the leather make my bridles look fantastic. Plus, it’s both strong and flexible, giving me confidence in its durability."

"This is my second purchase from this company, and I’m still impressed. The leather is strong yet easy to work with, just as I hoped. Plus, the color is exactly what I was looking for."

"I used this leather strapping for storage bins, and the high quality is evident. It’s the perfect weight for my project, and I plan to order more for a crossbody tote I’m working on."

“I bought this leather for hat bands, and they are just perfect. The thickness is ideal for easy use, and it's really smooth for painting or burning designs. Great value since it comes precut!”

“I’ve ordered this leather multiple times for my curtain tie backs, and while I appreciate the good quality, I’ve noticed that the colors vary significantly each time. If you're okay with some color inconsistency, it's a great product at a competitive price.”

“I found this leather very suitable for my DIY projects. It holds up well and looks fantastic! I would definitely purchase again.”

"Using this leather for my sword handle was a game changer. It's the perfect thickness and feels so much better than the faux leather I had before. I wrapped it with the raw side out for a better grip, and I love the real leather smell!"

"As a newbie in leatherworking, this material has been fantastic for practicing my stitching and edgework. I look forward to creating something truly useful one day!"

"I received a nice leather strap that was just the right length, but it didn't quite work out as I had hoped. Most likely, that was my fault."

"The leather strip I got is exactly the color shown in the listing. It's thinner than I anticipated, so I can't use it for my original plan, but I’ll find another purpose for it."

"I chose the Peru color, and it's perfect—just like the photos. The leather is thick, soft, and smells amazing. For the price, it's a great deal, and I plan to buy more for a purse I'm making!"

"I crocheted bags from Bernat yarn and used Susan Kennedy's pattern. The straps work perfectly with nice Chicago screws and leather backing. I've made eight bags for Christmas gifts with 1-inch leather handles!"

"I created an over-the-shoulder strap for my Roman short sword, and it was the right length and thickness. There's plenty of leather for other projects too!"

"I used these strips for a custom DIY headboard and banquette. They were perfect and I receive many compliments! The 'leather' pairs well with wax thread, giving it an elevated look."
