Easy Lacing: Lace Any Shoe or Garment in Seconds

Threading a lace by hand is slow and fiddly. Easy Lacing does it for you: mark the eyelet holes, click Generate, and get a fully laced shoe or garment with a bow, end knots and aglets.

Made for footwear and clothing alike. Use it on sneakers, boots and dress shoes, or on corsets, bodices, laced dresses, vests, jackets and any other piece with eyelet holes.

Key Features

Works on shoes and garments: any mesh with eyelet holes can be laced

4 lacing styles: Criss Cross, Interlaced (Weave), Ladder and Military

Round or flat laces: a round lace with adjustable thickness, or a flat ribbon lace with adjustable width and thickness

Fully adjustable bow: bow size, tail length, rotation, and separate size, width, angle and bend controls for the left and right loops

Natural droop: make the loops sag down or lift away from the surface

End knots with hollow beads: tie the two ends and hide the knots under hollow beads in 5 shapes (Sphere, Cube, Drum, Bell, Drop)

Aglets: 6 shapes (Classic, Pointed, Ball, Sphere, Ribbed, Flat End), with adjustable size

Hole control: adjust how deep the lace runs through each hole and where it dives under the flap

Curved surface support: the Arch slider lifts the crossings so the lace follows the shape of a curved foot or body

Mirror X marking: mark one side and the other side is marked automatically on symmetric meshes

Colors: set lace, aglet and bead colors right in the panel

Convert to Mesh: turn the finished lace into regular mesh when you are happy with it

How It Works

1. Select your shoe or garment mesh and enter Edit Mode.

2. Select the area around each eyelet hole and click Hole Marking. The hole borders are drawn as green lines.

3. Choose a lacing style, lace shape and bow settings.

4. Click Generate Lace. Change any setting and generate again to update the result.

5. Optional: click Convert to Mesh to finish.

You can clear single lines, clear all green lines, or remove the generated lace at any time, and one button resets all settings to default.

Requirements

Blender 5.2.0 or newer

No extra add-ons or external libraries needed

Find it in the 3D Viewport sidebar: N panel > Easy Lacing

Notes

The target mesh needs real holes (or hole borders) at the eyelets.

For the Mirror X option, the mesh should be symmetric around local X = 0.

Lace, aglets and beads are created as separate objects until you convert them to mesh.
