MAKING FAUX LEATHER FROM BROWN PACKING PAPER

[@Jackie-v4m]

I have watched you , Natasha , and Pam make faux leather they are very nice but made in diff . ways.😊

[@gloriahosking3834]

Hi, I used hair conditioner on my imitation leather and it really turned the brown paper dark which was what I was after, also made it very soft to the touch. Have made book covers out of it as well as tags and book markers. The conditioner made it smell nice too. 😃 happy leather making. 👍🌹

[@deniselakatos5418]

O Miss E-I have watched a number of videos showing how to make faux leather and I agree that your way seems to be the best IMO. Now I know what to do with all my Chewy packing papers LOL. Thank you for sharing all your goodness with us. Hugs and blessings.

[@sweethingjess]

thank you for sharing! I wondered how this effect was done! Thank you Mrs E!

[@cleza2]

Been doing this for years! Don’t stop at book covers … great for many paper projects. Use to wrap round toliet paper and paper towel cardboard centers to create art/desk storage. Around a oatmeal round box to create storage for tall items. I always use 3 coats of clear coat on finished product. Won’t let me add a photo.

I just love the accent. Could listen to you for hours

[@brendajoseph9965]

loved this techniue. I have tons of the packing paper. Now I know what to do with some of it. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@christineskinner1706]

That's a much easier way of making faux leather. Thanks for sharing.🥰

[@ginnyhall8056]

Wow that’s the easiest tutorial I’ve seen for faux leather and it looks amazing! ❤

[@barboneal]

OH MY GOODNESS! I just found out who Melina is! I've been enjoying her tutorials for years though I only recently subscribed! Lol Guess it's true, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello E, enjoyed watching you make the faux leather, it will make a fabulous journal cover. TFS

[@suzyemery]

Oh WOW...That is really cool! I have seen others doing the faux leather thing, and have always wanted to try it. I really do like your way. It turned out so nice. Can't wait to see it completely dry and your stitching all around. Thanks for taking us along! Hugs 💟 Suzy

[@shirleylaboy603]

I'm excited to try this. Thank you E for showing how to make it. 🙂❤️

[@pamjohnson3784]

I am glad you told us to put a coat of collage podge to seal the Tim Holtz ink, I didn't think about water droplets activating the ink again....

[@Veronim78]

Very helpful video. Love the cover. Thank you for sharing.

[@peaches5712]

I have laid my paper on my oven rack and turned the light on over night, it really helps it dry quicker.

[@greeneyedldy50]

Wow the first time i seen this was from pam from the paper outpost ive made plenty of these they are fun to make ❤

[@janetduchamp872]

E that’s absolutely beautiful 😊

[@robinsutton4952]

Need to give this a try. I’ve always used the paper bag and run it through the Sizzix in embossing folders. Then cut it up for collage. Just recently discovered rubbing Distress Oxide on and wetting the paper. Love how it runs and gives an almost marbled, muted effect. As always, thanks for sharing.

[@desireemartin3485]

This is so addictive I've made book cover, little books and envelopes and even added an emboss piece thank Ms. E

[@pamjohnson3784]

Oh my goodness, I just made faux leather this weekend and was going to send to you as a surprise, I should have known you already knew how to make it and now you are making it! Great minds think alike! Hahaa it will be fun to follow along and maybe create along with you, I usually learn from you then try to make it. I received my order and just love everything. I got Melina's stitch stencil she designed, the cradle, the CD holders, doilies and the added mystery box you had put together. Thank you E, just love Everything in my order! I have loved everything I have ordered from your shop, I have one AJ kit and loved it so much I signed up! Thank you, thank you!!!

[@roxannaerhard4777]

I also used hair conditioner made big and small books love how they turned out and thank you for sharing I'm gonna try to make some tags and book marks.😘

[@pauletteliddell2923]

[@sheliaporter6795]

I love how this turned out! I will be trying this for my next journal, since it will be for my husband. Thank you! ❤️

[@laurajeansimons5212]

Thank you for sharing!

[@colleen6921]

Love this, Miss E! The color turned out awesome! Can’t wait for the next video.

[@barbarajackola8701]

Love it, what a neat process.❤️🙏

[@susietruelove3657]

I've seen people use shoe polish it looks great

[@judethfenton5978]

I've done this with glycerine added and then put it in my embossing machine which added texture

[@vickiejensen1265]

Great process! Going to have to try it~ I'm always looking for journal covers!

[@eliseleblanc2578]

Looks great

[@raggedyann4372]

Looks Great😉🙏🏻❤️🥰

[@mafoster4393]

Prayers for your family

[@marleneannandale4157]

Hi Edith. I hope you guys are doing well. This is such a pretty leather journal coverr. Crrumple up the brown paper into your hand is a great stress reliever. Is it good to use shoe polish instead of ink? I saw someone did that. Have a awesome day. Thank you so much for all your great crafting.

[@marycozzensauldridge6634]

I like to use a spritz made from a 50/50 mix of glycerine and water. No other conditioning needed. Also when all is dryer and complete, I add some wax type shoe polish, and it seems like real leather

[@conniesobczak2177]

Is that a Teflon sheet u used for heat protectant, ty

[@mafoster4393]

prayers for you and your loved ones

[@brendahightower2793]

Hello Ms E., I've seen this procedure, but some were a lil more intense r should I say detailed. I want something simple, not so detailed I would say No Way!! Thank you for the simplicity of this technique. when do you put the conditioner on. I think I missed this part. TYFS ur creative ideas!!! Blessings to you!!! Have a wonderful day!!! waiting to see what u do next!! 😊🦋

[@SCRAPBOOKINGWITHMECRAFTS]

If you are using a thick paper then put the conditioner on after you apply the ink and water. Then just rub some conditioner on your hands and rub it into the paper.

[@brendahightower2793]

@@SCRAPBOOKINGWITHMECRAFTS Thank you Ms E. Much appreciated. ♥️

[@myalteredmuse2577]

May God be with you and your family…

[@bev.wilson1449]

[@joancoleman9210]

When I tried to fold the page to sew in the signature it cracked, is there a way to fix that?

[@SCRAPBOOKINGWITHMECRAFTS]

Add lace or fabric over the crack

[@howidaa.kareem9166]

What can I use if i don't have ink colours?

[@berolinastrassmann]

I use acrylic paint, just a thin coat with an almost dry brush. Bonus point: it does not react to the mod podge, because acrylic is not water soluble once dried.

[@annbrown3769]

Do you put it on the leather you bought it from Dollar tree?

[@SCRAPBOOKINGWITHMECRAFTS]

This is made from a brown paper bag..
