Omg, I never though of that! Thx so much for sharing. I've been trying to figure out what to do because of my peeling couch. I was to ashame to have company because of this issue. I'm going to do the same thing and he me some more pillows and see how it turns out!

[@blondiedar052]

You did fantastic getting it done that quickly! I've been working on that same method on one section of my couch for a week now... My glue must have been stronger on mine but it does work eventually for me. One thing I did discover that makes it a little easier on the cleanup... Give your couch a Brazilian wax. By that I mean heated up with a blow dryer like you do then come back over it while it's still hot and lay duct tape on it but it cool for just a tiny bit and then Yank It Off! Thanks for posting this video! I think your couch looks great!

[@4444yolanda]

I think it turned out wonderful. I just gave away an expensive white modern style with the chrome legs on it, because it was peeling, it is such a beautiful sofa set, unfortunately for me I'm disabled, but had I known about this I would have possibly taken that idea on if I had a house. Thanks for sharing your hard well paid off labor. GOD BLESS

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

That was genius! I gave my furniture away when it started to peel. I wish I had been as smart as you. I have also seen people paint the fabric after they peeled away the fake leather. I wish I had seen this video a few months ago.

[@michellemarshel9743]

How did you get all of the fake leather from in the cracks?

[@arioskaguzman]

Nice. I like the end result

[@EpistemeUM]

I found this looking for tips on repairing the fake leather with paint. PAINT! Plain old wall paint. Spray or applied with sponges or mini rollers. Because it's made of latex/vinyl/etc, and so is paint, people use that instead of the expensive stuff that is made for it, and it does the same thing. They also use similar color flex seal sprays. If they just have areas to fix like me (the arms of chairs) they peel and sometimes sand the edges with paper, but I may try your method with a heat gun for speed - being very careful lol Thanks for sharing! Thought I'd return the favor. There are lots of good sites and a few videos I've so far found showing the process. Love your DIY fix!

[@jennifferholcomb6534]

I saw some videos like what you're saying and they added fabric softener to the latex paint said it made the couch smell nice too!

[@mike3825]

Very nicely done! Final product looks incredible!

[@sunnymarie2060]

Nice job. Cute couch

[@emsmerk6878]

This cracked me up and I love your mentality! Damn this fabric sucks, lets change it using what I got! You're freakin awesome!

[@missapk]

My thoughts exactly! Motivating 👍

[@labbottball7857]

Thanks for the tip. Just letting everyone know this is a long process. But on the bright side you do save money and it don't look bad at all.

[@justbeingveetv3423]

*I am soooo glad I found this video* I have the same problem with my bed and home theater set. *Will try this SOON*

[@MSMAUTIKA]

I'm noticing my headboard in the guest room needs some TLC. I might try to paint it this time.

[@justbeingveetv3423]

MSMAUTIKA Cant wait to see. My entire sleigh bed is peeling. I began peeling like you did. I Just hate the feel of it. Ill get over it😀

[@miaharris5993]

Thanks for the video. I may give this a try on a couch I have

[@minelayer26]

note to people out there: if you notice your “leather” furniture or clothes peeling away within 2-5 years, it is most likely bonded leather, a cheap leather alternative that is made up of both leather and other materials, be wary of leather furniture and clothes, and make sure its real leather

[@elmyra.jackson]

Sis, you are amazing!! That is such a creative idea! As you have discovered, this is clearly not leather! From my own research, leather will never peel. It will however fade and or crack!!

[@teptime]

As a long-time antiques dealer, I assure you that dried/discolored leather can often be revived.

[@nomadicwmn6073]

I have this same problem, mine is a sectional recliner and I thought about this but I also thought about painting it. What are your thoughts on how the under layer would take paint?

[@MSMAUTIKA]

Hello, I'm not sure how to paint it but mine felt like a soft suede. Mine wasn't real leather but I have looked at (Jennifer Allwood: You can PAINT worn leather!) a few times thinking it looks great.

[@nomadicwmn6073]

MSMAUTIKA Hi, I think I have same soft material underneath as you do. I was looking at chalk paint and one that looks like leather call fusion mineral paint which I saw being used on a chair on the show hometalk. I love what you did cleaning off the leather flakes.

[@MSMAUTIKA]

Thank you..

[@4444yolanda]

There are several fabric dyes that can be considered

[@dylanmydude]

This music reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite, what's the name of the song?

[@shannonl5159]

Wow! That's pretty awesome

[@janellee6405]

What needle did you use to sew it

[@nimaalichannel4549]

Excellent

[@Propheternestmatt]

At first I didn't understand. But now I get it

[@Cindy-cs5js]

Thanks for sharing! Ours is peeling too 🙄

[@kim66hot]

Ooooooh Sh#t MSMAUTIKA wow you did....... Sitting here with my fingers on the keypad for ages just looking (ok this now requires a full stop).

[@robdude1969]

[@jimdavidson5208]

[@josmalorozco9962]

HOLA! Mi cuñada me regaló sus muebles que tienen ese mismo PROBLEMA. GRACIAS por este vídeo.

[@juliebond139]

People throw these away all the time because of that happening there always in good shape but don't look good

[@mskud9996]

This lady was driving slow because she was old. This comment fits your work.

[@catsoandahalf]

Ingenious! Msmautika you should replace martha stewart; I like your style!

[@4444yolanda]

There are fabric dyes that might even work on the fabric you've stripped.. fyi..but I still like what you've done

[@navajoauckland6003]

You can use a rub on fabric dye to colour it

[@Mxxjzz]

There’s no laws put in place United States when it comes to using the term leather, co’s are allowed to use the term even when it’s faux - suxx for consumers

[@doctorfeinstone6524]

Gotta love the free market

[@justbeingveetv3423]

[@trealeclark]

That funeral music sucks

[@emsmerk6878]

If you're looking for the latest pop hits then I think TRL is still a thing or I'm sure you could youtube it. The music was comically expieremental whis is exactly what is going on in the video. Lol, I thought it was perfect and this totally works!

[@trealeclark]

Emily Merker im glad you enjoyed it hun be blessed

[@lasagnegurl167]

Treale Clark I though it was more sleepy elevator music 🤪

[@mmovingcoins6249]

lmfao.....but it was an amazing trick. just what i came looking for and i only found a black woman doing it.

[@sabrinaownthethrone]

Lol @ funeral music 😂

[@laurensweeny4513]

The seams are very difficult to get all the little pieces off,

[@usedbyjesus]

how many days it took to do this..or how many hours?

[@MSMAUTIKA]

I did the sofa and love seat both to match. I think the sofa alone took me about 6 hours collectively.

[@mimi7434]

Mine is doing starting the same just noticed it was cracking

[@gbrooks87able]

i bet that took weeks to do?

[@robertdougles512]

very nice BUT you talk to much less talk and more work is a lot better..

[@CLynn-rn1hu]

now just paint the fabric/or dye it and bam!

[@vernonjohnson9417]

the music is so loud that you can heat nothing, can you remake this video without the music?????????????????!Q@!!!!!!!!

[@DJ-oi9md]

A good video was ruined by the background music 😧😧

[@lasagnegurl167]

DJ This good video was ruined by this stupid comment.

[@lindasegraves3376]

The music was louder than her voice. I am not trying to be mean just truthful and please turn the music down.

[@jedsim875]

Wtf? Is this is fix or completely fuck up the sofa ???

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

I don't think that's real leather....I tried this trick to a cow. It didn't work 😂

[@bryskid2005]

Really? It looks so ugly, why didn’t you try leather paint?

[@AlbaRecoil]

Elevator music was really annoying

[@marioburgos8381]

Yust put in the garbage and get a knew one

[@sumramalik9510]

Music is annoying

[@robertdougles512]
