Making a Tie Dye Leather Wallet

[@flyingcat2054]

I like the 8 ton press and the wallet jigs

[@thekennek]

Carved from stone! Also loved the touch of humor for the sponsor

[@brentdooley27]

Oh my, this is amazing. So much great inspiration from this channel.

nice work can i ask about leather thichness did you use ¡

[@jesmondo5785]

Beautiful wallet! Love your videos, just starting out and I'm learning a lot from you guys. Cheers!

[@benjaminhollenbeck7506]

Beautiful wallet!

[@Asenceana]

Is it weird that I got really really excited to hear a new video came out? No? Ok.

[@yusufabdulloh]

Is that oil based dye?

[@Jcope1382]

What a great idea, thanks for sharing!

[@halilibrahimaslan894]

You are great. I like your all videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@MajorClothingLine]

What he applied while polishing?? What is that white thing? A glue or what?

[@HiepNguyen-ch9fq]

did you need filter on the water before drop color sir ?

[@dannyzurlo7943]

That looks awesome!

[@jn-creativity1872]

hello, can you tell me which type of glue do you use please ? thank ypu so much

Great stuff!!!

[@evelynwatson345]

Lovely effect, I’ve tried this technique once before and found the dye came off. Do you find that the dye comes off? I notice you use Gum Trag on the front, but how do you guarantee it stays and won’t run off the inside?

[@Cmoonx2]

Absolutely, awesome !

[@mattiecreates]

how thick of veg tan do you use?

[@Sniper_Cat_71]

You always do such interesting and amazing work, I love your channel.

[@johnporterfield2279]

It's just beautiful. Do you find your logo eventually works its way out of the leather when you put it on the fold of the wallet with the repeated bending back and forth?

[@Corter]

Nope! been branding our work this way for 10 years and the logo is designed to stay imprinted - it stays nice and visible :)

[@bonesinkorporated5345]

Really really great work !! Badass !!

[@Corter]

thank you!

[@PickledAmericano]

I'm curious what the gum trag is for.... anything besides giving the colors more saturation? Never seen it used on anything but edges and raw backs. Then again I'm a newbie lol

[@notwrkn2mch]

What a neat idea :)

[@ArgentiLuna]

What a great vid, thanks so much... Hi from England :-)

[@Yesemapu]

Hola, ese tinte se puede volver a utilizar en otra pieza?. O se tira?. Gracias

[@raygetoutdoors6151]

Beautiful.....was the dye water based? Ray,Oklahoma

[@V3leathercraft]

Was that IPA or C²O?

[@Song_Di]

Hi. I was impressed by your work. I have a question. Is "gum trag" the same as "tokonole"? Marbling with water and oil is a fantastic thing.

[@stvn_w]

Are you using hot water or alcohol for that? Nice marble

[@pcharliealex]

How can I buy a wallet like this one but whit the edges in red color just like you did with the Louis Vuitton wallet

[@purvinagar9809]

Sir can you please tell me which colors you used in this . And please tell me the whole process of this.

[@Bootbitch]

Purvi Nagar red and blue.

Can this effect be done on suede as well as veg-tan leather?

[@Bootbitch]

Can someone answer? What’s that flap of leather for at 3:50? Thank you

[@ArielYahni]

So who's responsable for the phone buzzing?????

[@nimitbafna]

Why arre you calling this tie dye? You have not tied the leather before dyeing.

[@rhiannongeorge2939]

Had the same thought. It's more of a marble effect like they do on paper? Still, it gets the idea across.

[@nimitbafna]

@@rhiannongeorge2939 It's more akin to hydro dipping.

[@Hehhin]

Stitching holes should be smaller and more close to each other to look more professional, nice wallet but stitching is not good

[@rhiannongeorge2939]

This person is literally a professional lol. Hand stitched is never gonna look like machine stitched. Personally I prefer the hand stitched look, it's more authentic.

[@dshe8637]

This channel has developed over the years and stitching is better now. This was practically lacing with thread!

[@crimsonchxos]

@@rhiannongeorge2939 yeah, the thicker, wider stitch looks so much better than the tighter, smaller stitching you see on most wallets. Doesn’t make it any less professional 💀

[@zrlhandmade1870]

Is this water based paint?

[@rogueapparatus6414]

Very cool dye technique! Thanks for showing! I've been watching lots of dye videos and its hilarious how few crafters wear gloves when dying 🤣 I'm guilty

[@sxleatherco8887]

Lol i was just thinking the same thing. I get questioned alot about my brown and orange fingertips

[@gp5364]

Woaaaaahh this looks wild

[@damesydneyleatherworksprie9136]

I would love a step by step of this dye process since I have tried it several times to only get spots of dye onto the leather.

[@PickledAmericano]

Did you ever figure this out? I've gone through 3 bottles of dye and can only get spotted, splotchy results. I tried hot water, soapy water, added salt. No dice

[@damesydneyleatherworksprie9136]

@@PickledAmericano I did figure it out. First you have to use an alcohol based stain. Then there is a mix ratio sweet spot. Shallow pan , small amount of water. But really I didn’t like the result as the color leached off the leather for days.

[@kimbarron4239]

Check out marbling technique for adding color also. You should be able to float leather dye on Carrageenan if you want more control over the patterns. If you want, that is.

[@goodking9799]

May I ask how the technique?

[@laytonc8954]

Yet another amazing project. It’s almost like every time I’m amazed by your work you take it up a notch. Great Job!

[@synthiazeng]

Just one question, is the dye stable? Really worry if the colours will transfer to clothes or other items. Very beautiful work tho!

[@BingBongDillyDong]

This is honestly such a cool technique I would have never guessed you could do such a dye job on leather. I love your stickers on your tool set.

[@Drdrlynx]

Is there a reason why you finished with gum trag over the dye vs. Carnuba cream or bag kote or some other finish?

[@Corter]

just personal preference! I like using gum trag and canvas because it brings out a nice little patina in the un-dyed sections of leather

[@nataliespeer8947]

@@Corter I have tokonole and not gum trag. Are they different?. I never knew you could do the outside of the leather. Just knew it was for slicking edges.

[@PomNaoo]

This tie-dye is so pretty!

[@quixoticjedi942]

Totally amazing effect! Can't wait to try this for myself. Thank you for sharing your technique.

[@Dickie2702]

I know nothing about leatherwork and there is no explanation of how, this effect is created. My assumption is the dyes are oil based and then poured into pan of water????? Very cool look. I've never seen leather look like this.

[@robinprivate6667]

Is there a certain grade of veg tan that you are using? I have tried this process on several pieces ranging from a craftsman level to a superior level and CANNOT for the life of me get anywhere close to the marble effect shown. :( I have also tried pre-treating with neatsfoot oil (which I do for my normal dyeing) down to no pre-treatment of any kind and the dye just rolls off. Any insight would be much appreciated!

[@damesydneyleatherworksprie9136]

I’ve been trying for days to do this only to have the pro dye roll right off the leather. It isn’t sticking at all. Are you still trying to do this?

[@michelleharder2552]

When I try this the colour is barely there

[@marklindsey4112]

That is the best lookin' wallet I have ever seen!

[@marvin3242]

Woah. Sell these please

[@naoyukitomorio]

It's been a long time, would you tell me if the tie dye of the wallet faded please?

[@mellbelle81]

Hi! Love the tie-dye! So I'm going to be teaching a leather working class at our Homeschool co-op next spring but I have to teach basics in only 2 classes. Would you ever consider selling your wallet pieces pre-cut but not sewn so the kids could assemble and sew them together?

[@HaliaeAesthetic]

Tandy leather sells things like that! both specifically for kids and for adults depending on how old the kids at the co-op are!

[@teresaschutte3447]

I've watched this a few time and love it... are you using warm?hot water?how much water to dye

[@log6233]

You see a new image in it everytime I've seen a mountain,volcano and a stag ,unless its cos I'm hella high

[@ak49]

it definitely is cuz u're high

[@hannakinn]

Wow, this video made me remember a multi colored wallet I had in the 1970s, it wasn't terribly well stitched but the leather colors and embossing were beautiful. It was evidently made in another country. I bought it either at a headshot or one of all these small craft and import shops that used to exist back then. The late sixties and parts of the seventies eras where people valued hand made items. Thank you for inspiring me to revisit really pleasant memories from my hippish teen years. Good times. ✌️☮️

[@prestpond]

Thanks for sharing! Is this done using cold water?

[@CantrellLeatherGoods]

Wow! I’m always really impressed with you guys but this... this is AWESOME!! Very cool. Yeah, that gum trag really does nicely. Weaver has been my favorite for years as well.

[@willieklijn5901]

Why does this look like the Metallica Load album cover?

[@mysticmonkey6976]

Very cool. Would never have thought too tie-dye leather. Thanks for the idea.

[@naoyukitomorio]

Wow can we do the same thing to shoes ?that will be amazing!

[@joelcotton190]

I always enjoy watching your videos. I tried this today on some small scraps and it came out looking like one color. I didn't mix the water. Maybe I left the leather in to long. Maybe not enough dye. You got any tips?

[@stevejennings899]

Totally unaffordable surely? The amount of dye alone + wastage must make this type of project unviable?

[@swagnc]

Could you use this same process for a leather item (which is already dyed), like an old purse, to tie dye it or would you have to use a different process.

[@daugtherofthelord7354]

He has a "Yas Kween" drawer. 🤣🤣

[@Butchssn709]

That is AWESOME ! Are you mixing Fiebings Pro Dye with water or something else since Pro dye is alcohol based?

[@Corter]

Thanks! Just water, the key is to not mix it and just pour in different spots. It'll float in the water and create the marbling effect, you can also get a softer effect with oil-based dyes

[@Butchssn709]

I have achieved some success in the Tie Dye, used to much water first time. What brand stitching chisels do you use ? I didn't see them in the weaver catalog? Thanks, Steve

[@anthonyd9844]

This looks so nice! I only wish you had done the tie dye leather on the inside too and used black stitching instead of white, but aside from my two cents this looks awesome

[@robertk-qn6mg]

Nice...great work

[@samanthanicholson9015]

Gum tragacanth for the top? Do you use resolene to keep colors from coming off?

[@russellj.6708]

Hello Guys. I have been watching you from afar for a while now. I like your work very much. I'd like to see more tooling, color etc. But we ALL do it different. So, I tried your method last night and it sort of worked. I wasn't expecting perfection the first time. Besides, I have lots of Black Dye to repair any really bad mistakes ;) Either way i was pretty happy with the outcome EXCEPT................... I don't know if I'm explaining this correctly but the "RED" seemed to come off on everything after it dried. As if it was suddenly a powder. Seemed to go away after the Gum Trag. Hopefully the sealing with Carnauba Cream will prevent any more. Did i miss a step? I did watch the video over 47,000 times! (Okay maybe 12 or 15 times). Anyhow I do love the way you guys go about your craft. I want to post a picture of my results from your idea but I have no clue as how to post a picture in this reply. Needless to say i like your videos very much.

[@Corter]

sounds like you did it right! There will be powdered dye after it dries, I brush it off then seal with gum trag. After drying for a few hours (usually overnight) the color is solid and doesn't come off :) Glad you enjoyed the video! We don't do any tooling but we've got lots more fun stuff coming!

[@russellj.6708]

Thanks for the reply. That's good info about the brushing. Yes, I did use too much water. I also noticed that after the second dip it all mixed up. I added more but to no avail. Thinking it was the water level again. I am looking to do this full time soon and ANY MENTORING would be of GREAT APPRECIATION. I'm on FB as: @Rustyscustomleather. Thanks again for ALL of your VALUABLE Help! BZ !!!! (Navy Lingo for OUTSTANDING JOB) Rusty
