FAQ's

We’re proud to have three storefront locations where you can shop in person: 

📍 Waco, Texas — 215 Cotton Drive 

📍 Salina, Utah — Inside Burns Saddlery, 65 W Main Street 

📍 Pendleton, Oregon — Inside Burns Saddlery, 221 S Main Street 

Each store carries a selection of tools, leather, and templates — inventory may vary by location, so feel free to call ahead if you're after something specific. 

Most orders ship within 1–2 business days, Monday through Saturday. Our system automatically determines which of our three locations — Waco, TX, Salina, UT, or Pendleton, OR — is closest to you, and ships from there to help you get your order faster. 

During sales, live events, or trade shows, shipping times may vary slightly — but we’ll always do our best to keep things moving and keep you informed. Check out our Shipping and Delivery Page for more info!

Reach out anytime — we’re a small team, but we respond quickly.

Yes! You can learn with us through: 

• Our YouTube channel (with step-by-step tutorials) 

• Classes and demos at leather shows like Sheridan, Prescott, Pendleton, and Las Vegas 

• Acrylic templates that pair with free instructional videos 

• Online courses at Learn with Illume (our education partner) 

And occasionally, we offer in-person classes in all three locations — watch our email list or social media for announcements. 

It’s our version of leather madness.

We go live on Facebook, show off incredible (and often rare) pieces of leather — embossed, exotic, bag-grade, you name it — and offer them up at killer prices. You comment to claim. Fast fingers win.

Here’s the drill: 

1. Join us on Facebook Live — we usually go live 3–5 minutes early. 

2. Watch closely as we show each piece. 

3. When we call out a keyword and price, type that keyword in the comments as fast as you can. 

4. First comment we see gets it — it’s that simple.

To keep things smooth and fast: 

1. Make sure you have an account at makersleathersupply.com. If you’ve ordered before, just log in. If not, create one — it only takes a minute. 

2. After the sale, send us a message on Facebook with the email linked to your account. 

3. We’ll invoice you. Once you pay, your order ships out ASAP. 

Sure! You’re welcome to add small tools, templates, or accessories — just keep in mind: 

• Orders over $50 ship free 

• Extra items might require extra shipping, especially if they don’t fit in the same box 

Unfortunately, you miss that piece. Every item is one-of-a-kind — if someone beats you to it in the comments, they get the win. But don’t worry — we usually have lots of leather available, so stay sharp and keep going!

Before the sale starts, check your account login. If you’ve forgotten your password, click “Forgot Password” on the login page to reset it. Need help fast? Email  Marsha@makersleathersupply.com.

We announce them by email and on social media — make sure you're subscribed and following us on Facebook so you never miss one. They’re usually tied to big inventory purges or seasonal clear-outs.

• Business-ready projects that can be used for SAE, LDE, and even personal sales

The program supports both Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) projects and LDE team competitions, making it a natural fit for FFA-aligned classrooms. Many schools use it to help students prepare projects for judging or competitions.
