I'm looking for faux leather strips in different colours to thread through curb bracelets, but am having trouble finding any, I don't mind if I have to cut the strips myself, any ideas where to look ?

I've seen faux suede in strips, but not faux leather :confused:

What sort of thickness are you looking for?

They probably are faux suede, I buy curb chain bracelets with it threaded through and thought I would try and make my own as the seller doesn't have much of a choice in colours now.

I've got a selection of colours listed, under findings, threading materials (http://kandmbeadshop.com/index.php?cPath=21_52), if they're any good to you. They're 3mm in width.

What sort of colours are you looking for?

Thanks, they need to be flat and about 5mm wide, in pretty girl colours like pink and blue

I looked at those but the strips need to be flat and about 5mm wide. I might buy a peice and cut them myself
