FAQ's

Maker's Leather Supply

Where are You Located?

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. 
How long does it take to ship my order? 
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!
How do I contact customer service? 

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

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

Odd Lot Live Sale (Facebook Events)

What is the Odd Lot Live Sale?

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.
How do I claim leather during the sale? 

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.
How do I pay after the Live Sale? 

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. 
Can I add other items to my Odd Lot order?

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 
What happens if I comment second? 
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!
What if I have tech issues or can’t log in? 
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.
How often do you host Odd Lot Sales? 
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.

Learn with Illume x Maker’s Leather Supply School Program 

Who is the school leathercraft program for? 
This program was built specifically for Ag Science teachers, FFA advisors, and career & tech educators looking to add hands-on craftsmanship into their classrooms. Whether you’re teaching beginners or supporting SAE and LDE teams, we’ve got you covered.
Do I need leatherworking skills to start this? 
Not at all. You don’t need to be a leather expert — our curriculum is designed for all experience levels. With expert-led videos, step-by-step classroom guides, and pre-cut kits, you’ll have everything you need to teach with confidence.
What comes with the program? 

We offer three flexible ways to bring leathercraft to your students

How many students does each kit serve? 
Most classroom kits are designed for 10–20 students. For larger groups, you can add on extra material kits without reordering the full set — just grab more student packs! 
What kinds of projects will students complete? 

Students can create a wide variety of real-world, useful leather goods like: 

  • Wallets, key fobs, coasters, belts, knife sheaths, gift card holders, mousepads, and more 
  • Tooling practice with floral design, geometric stamps, and swivel knife skills 
  • 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.
Can I order just leather and tools with no program?
