Wayang Kulit, a traditional puppet shaped Indonesian art which has been made since the 8th century is now recognized by UNESCO as World Master Piece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. In the process, the material of Wayang Kulit like cow and buffalo hides cannot be used up without leaving material waste, up until now this waste material usually recreated into craft products. Both making process of the main products and the waste materials use manual techniques, named Tatah Sungging. The experimental method used in this study is laser cutting test on leather material, coloring test and mix material. The application of laser cutting technology is intended to increase the processing productivity of waste material. The results of this study are form style variants (aesthetics) and product quality variants..
