Turn any leather pattern into a reusable acrylic template with a laser cutter. In this tutorial I show you how to take a sneaker pattern and cut it into durable acrylic templates using an xTool P2 55W laser, so you can trace, cut, and fill orders faster. The same method works for bags, wallets, belts, and more.
