Leather 3D embossing is fun and adds a hole new element to your leather crafting! Don't buy embossing paste when you can make it yourself for a lot less money. Any questions just leave them in the comment section. Enjoy!

Very interesting process. Thank you for the tutorial. I really like the Octopus embossing and the way you trimmed it all out using the air brush.

Thank you very much! Embossing leather just looks really cool to me. Adding 3D to any art seems to make it pop. :) Thank you for the kind words.

My Pleasure! I love sharing this kind of information. Embossing leather is fun and it makes the craft really take on another look. :) Thank you...

Scuff the surface?... so the mixture texture has more surface area fibers to bind to. Maybe? I haven't done it, but it seems that mixture would bind to suede better, if there was a sticking issue. Great video tutorial.

[@baronleathercraft]

great idea. :) As long as when you scuff the aera without changing the shape of the embossing (which seems very capable of being done). I think scuffing could only help with any sticking issue. On the most part, the paste not sticking is hardly ever an issue, but any idea that improves the technique is worth doing. I am making another octopurse right now. I will scuff this time and let you know if it improves the technique. Thank you for your input.

@baronleathercraft maybe a wire brush? And more passes less pressure?

[@nothenyes2527]

They also have a billiard cue aerator. It's used on leather pool tips. Could use light pressure and a twist. The twist will do wonders when you see what a billiard cue aerator is, that is, if you dont know what it is. Don't twist on a cue though it will rip through it if it's soft.

@@nothenyes2527 Actually I use a tandy tool that is made just for scuffing leather. It is the craftool leather rougher. I did it last night and it did help. Plus this time I added more rubber cement and the mix came out like creamy peanut butter and work much better.
