Amazing Discovery-Faux Leather Technique that will blow your mind! Cereal box DIY-Watch til the end!

[@pamsauce8936]

I used 2 cereal boxes to make my first and only Junk Journal. My quilty friends say it is beautiful and i cant call it a junk journal. I showed them pickets i had folded out of book pages so they decided it had to be called an Origami Journal. I started on Christmas Day 2023 on this new craft. Thank you for your channel!!! Jesus is helping us with the talents he has gifted each of us with!!!!!! ✝️

I've been working on faux leather for 3 days!!! Wasn't paying attention to TV and you came on!!😱😊 I need it to go on the back of a square bottle and I've tried everything! I ordered boot polish thinking it would be the hard old fashioned kind. It wasn't!😠 It was thick creamy so I sent texts to people looking for the hard kind. Now I have lots of various faux leather book covers made from paper bags, packing paper but my favorite is the white from cardstock with no ink. It came out beautifully plain. That was my surprise.🤷‍♀️TOMORROW I'm going to Dollar Tree for YOUR shoe polish!! Thank you so much for keeping me company at 3am and solving my dilemma. It looked perfect for this commissioned bottle. I'm done rambling...NEW subscriber here !❤😊

I'm so glad you found me! Hmm cardstock. I'll have to try that. I love making faux leather, it just adds so much texture. Thanks for watching and welcome!

Welcome and thank you! I am still playing around with different colors. I'll be using this all the time.

Hey Melissa, those came out amazing. We may need to go buy some cereal now. Lol! Don't you just love it when an oops becomes a win? Would love to see them in different colors when you find different color shoe polishes. Tfs! Jackie 🥰

I just did black and actual brown. Wish I had a community tab to share. I'll post on my Instagram once I make into journals. Thanks for watching!

Wow, that really does look like leather! I might have to try that one with the brown shoe polish, it turned out great :) Thanks for hosting this challenge and having me join you!

[@tgunter_art]

Hi. I have seen a KZbinr use paper bags. Maybe try this next time using the same method. Hopefully, I will see a video. Thank you

[@javajesusjournalingwithmelissa]

@creativeness68 I've used paper bags too. I prefer the boxes for covers because it's thicker. I believe I have a video for that too. Thanks for watching!
