Sheena's Faux Leather Technique

[@Oonagh72]

Nine year old video that is still so relevant! Beautiful. Just beautiful.

[@robinsutton4952]

So glad this came up in my feed. I’ve always gone the paper bag and glue route. This is so more authentic. Thanks.

[@clarepomfrett9821]

Love the subtitles! Sheena's accent is hard to follow but some of the subtitles are hilarious. This is a great technique and often use it.

[@BunnyLang]

Oh my gosh, you are the second artist today that I heard is wonky with the measuring, now I don't feel so alone! I LOVE THIS! Thank you so much!

[@Cheryl64014]

Wow! I can't tell you how long I've been looking for something like this. Wonderful technique, and amazing tutorial. You are a very good teacher, Sheena! Thank you for your generous spirit in giving us this.

[@9critterchris877]

I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial! How amazing that the paper actually looked like leather! Your explanation is adorable. “Cheaper than chips”... that’s a new one to me across the pond. Lol Thank you!

OF all the Faux Leather techniques I have tried, this is the one for me, I am loving it, I have to stop creating now, I have enough.

[@seeley178]

Sheena you are amazing. I get very impatient with crafting videos that faff about but you are straight in there, nattering in your gorgeous accent and so watchable. I have learned a brilliant new technique. Can't wait to try to make some jewellery with it. Thank you so much.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

looks fab and as a vegetarian i love the fact that it is not leather. I have a lot of UK viewers that say they cannot find glycerin, glad you have told them where to buy it! Have a great day!

[@sharkarris]

very easy to buy glycerin in the UK Lindsay- just tell your UK viewers they can get it from Boots the chemist.

[@WiccaDreamersMary]

In the US you can find it at most pharmacies. It's with the bandaids and wound care stuff... I got mine at Walmart

[@hazielanath]

Hi What can we buy in the US to substitute for spray and shine Lindsey?

[@MarySFerguson]

I got mine from Amazon. It is used in the e-cigarette to quit smoking; Some stores have glycerin in flavors. I am going to try crystal clear or clear acrylic sealer. I put mine through the cuttlebug..Did a good job only thing it takes more time .I am experimenting . I got too inspired. Thanks very much for the video.

[@shanezveganess5969]

I love it too :) I have to source vegetable based glycerin which is easy to get online too :)

[@sandygibbs3522]

Hi Sheena. I tried this technique out today. I could not get your products to seal it , so I used Modge on 1, Hibuild Sealer on 2nd one and a liquid varnish on the 3rd one. I must say I think I am liking the liquid varnish the best, but all 3 have come out well. You do have to give at least 4 coats with all 3 methods. LOVE IT!!!

[@conishkee]

1/21/22: Great Googa-mooga, Sheena, this technique was the BOMB and I loved it! I can't wait to try it. Typically, I'd use a brown paper bag, never seen it done with kraft paper, but I'm definitely gonna try it. And the embossing folder is really cool. TFS!

[@beryltreble32]

Hi Sheena,really love this. Its definitely one to try. Went to the supermarket this morning and couldn't get glycerine. Think I'll have to go to the chemist. Look forward to the other video seeing how you put the notebook together.

[@tinacrystalmaster]

glycerine is often in the cake making section of the supermarket with the food colouring etc.

[@beryltreble32]

Hi Tina, Thanks for letting me know. I managed to get a bottle this morning from Sainsburys in the cooking section.

[@tinacrystalmaster]

Beryl Treble you're welcome - I cake decorate too (and work with herbs and herbal remedies) so often use glycerine Good luck with your project :-)

finally got round to getting the right kraft paper and will be trying the technique out very soon. I know Sheena does not have time to check the comments or answer but does someone else know how I can get the different colors she shows in the video? is it still using the craft card and just coloring on top with a different color distress ink ? Thanks to Sheena for all the inspiraiton.

You can use one-layered carton, paperbags (then maybe without or much less glycerine), Kraft-paper, packing paper. The thicker the paper the more glycerine you'll need, the thinner it is the greater is the danger that the glycerine just lets the paper desintegrate and it will fall apart when you crumple it. You can also use handcream or cheap hair conditioner instead of the water-glycerin mixture. Therevs glycerine in it, too.

Could you please put in the video description the links to all the products used that you can buy on your website? I'm having a hard time finding the right things

[@lindawilliams2271]

I tried this a few years ago but I found that all the lovely wrinkles were flattened out once you emboss it.

[@ghettocountry8678]

i just use alcohol and almond oil with a bit of water which makes for a very softer cover look.

[@greenbean1613]

I just made my first one and used dark brown latex paint and I think it came out really good! The latex seems to add a good rubbery, or faux leathery feel.

[@ThePurpleFlower]

@@greenbean1613 can you describe how you used it please? Did you use it after the glycerine and scrunching?

[@PinkSwan146]

@@greenbean1613 how did you do it …. During what stage of the process ? Thank you 🤗

[@snarlgaurd]

What a brilliant technique, looks like Christmas Pressies sorted!

[@hazielanath]

What would be similar to spray and shine in the. USA?

[@janstok011]

Great technique and it looks just like embossed leather x

[@maxinedayhuff308]

Can you use Luster Modge Podge for a shine and to seal it?

[@amandabolton2438]

Hi Sheena...can you use baby oil instead of glycerine to make the faux leather?

[@pamelliott60]

Love this and it does look like leather. I've got to try this!

[@flibberleyboo]

could i use mod podge to seal the surface ?

[@SheenaDouglass2021]

to seal it? yes

[@shaffergirl1732]

That was my question too! Yay 😁

[@jillkent6134]

Beautiful effect

[@TheSuzyfick]

Hello from Illinois, can you use baby oil?

[@gjk540]

Glycerin is thicker.

[@amandabolton2438]

Yeah but could you use it instead of glycerine? Would you need a different sort of sealer?

[@Swist1213]

I can't figure out how to get the embossing on both sides of the paper. Was a very wide machine used where you can put the embossing folder in sideways while only putting half of the paper in the folder? I have a Bigshot, which only allows me to put the embossing folder in one way. So I tried to put half the paper in the folder and then wrapped the other half around the outside of the folder. This worked fine on the one half, but when I put the other half of the paper in and wrapped the already embossed side around the folder, all of the embossing on the first side was flattened out. I wish the embossing part of the project had been shown. Maybe there's a simple explanation that I'm just missing?

[@delygirl1961]

She used the ebosser which has a wider base. The big shot plus also has a wider base but is a manual machine

[@Swist1213]

Thank you! I was afraid that was the case. I would love to try this technique but I just can't justify buying the BigShot plus when I already have a Bigshot. :o(

[@lechatbotte.]

Since she had to run it through twice, it might be possible to fold the excess under the folder go through, then flip the un-embossed paper around putting that part in the folder, fold the done side under and run through again, that is if you want one whole sheet. I've seen people use their stamps to emboss using the bigshot too.

[@dianawhatley9285]

use a rolling pin thats what I did

[@filfilyawfocus]

Hi! Suggestion for least favorite or extra folders......Duct tape the folder closed on long side then slit top open carefully with a blade or tape together a folder that has come apart down left side leaving 1/8 inch binding....these days when they break ..i dont even tape them anymore i use broken ones in two pieces with no problems lettin paper hang out top.

[@immistyblue]

What a super technique, You are such a clever girl Sheena x Big Hugs Linda x

[@SheenaDouglass2021]

thank you x

[@CatConsten]

What kind of machine did you use to emboss the paper? I couldn't understand...

[@janicek9399]

It’s called a “die cutting machine” a number of companies make them. It has a roller that presses the embossing folder into the paper. Some people try a rolling pin and an embossing folder. You would have to press really hard and you might not get the impression. I hope my explanation helps!

[@alexisthompson1567]

when I emboss one side it squishes the other side flat again and it is not as pronounced. What am I overlooking?

[@pamm2230]

Alexis Thompson ..Try to emboss the wrong side first, then run through again on the right side. The right side will have the more pronounced design but should also show the reverse side embossing though it will have a different look. Also allowing to dry then restarting the process may give an even different result.

[@CricketsBay]

The other side doesn't matter. It's covered when the book is finished.

[@SheenaDouglass2021]

Sorry, I have only just found this question Alexis. you only need emboss one side of the card.
