The Tandy Leather Tracing Film is a flexible layout tool used to accurately transfer designs onto leather before carving or tooling. It allows makers to trace patterns, then transfer clean guides onto damp leather for precise placement. Clear and easy to use, it helps improve accuracy, consistency, and confidence in projects like belts, wallets, holsters, and bags, making the design process more controlled and professional. Place on pattern and trace onto film with pencil. Place film on damp leather. Trace pattern with a stylus.

Thomas ★★★★★

Finally, a tracing film that actually stays put while I'm working the pattern onto the leather. The material is flexible enough to follow curves without tearing, and the pencil marks transfer clearly to the surface without smudging. Makes layout work much less frustrating.

Ryan D. ★★★★★

The lines come off clean every time, which saves me from re-drawing a design halfway through a carving session. It's thin enough to see my pattern clearly but holds up without tearing when I press down on it.

James ★★★★★

The film is flexible enough to curve around the edge of a wallet without tearing, and the transfer lines stay sharp instead of smudging. I traced the same pattern three times and each guide came out clean, which saves me a ton of time before I start carving.
