Guitar Strap (2.5” Width) - Acrylic Template

A perfect template for both hobbyists and professional leather crafters looking to expand their skills and product catalogs. OLG acrylic template sets are 3mm thick tinted acrylic and include all the pieces you need to mark and cut your pattern pieces. Where necessary, notes are also engraved on the templates - ex. What size holes should be punched, suggested hardware to use, where to skive or glue. 

To keep shipping costs manageable, this template is split into two pieces and marked so that they may be perfectly fit together again.
