Sheena's Faux Leather Technique

There is a new and updated version of my Faux Leather technique, please check it out on this channel or find it in Videos on either my 'Sheena Douglass' Facebook page or my Facebook Group Page called 'Sheena's Ink-ettes'

[@Oonagh72]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@shanezveganess5969]

"I'm allergic to the measuring" ... I love that, you're so cute :)

I loved that too because even I’m allergic to measuring 🤣

[@melonmahfood2439]

Just love how these turn out, can't wait to make some!

[@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.

[@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.

[@janetbutler9763]

Oh My Giddy Aunt, this is fab. A definite game changer for me coz I’m making diary’s, shoe box doll houses and jewellery boxes for my grand daughters and this effect will be ideal for corners etc. hi from Newcastle (well, Wallsend really) x

[@mosscap_]

I'm studying textile design at Heriot Watt and would love to try this technique in my next project as I am exploring leather alternatives. Thanks for the video!

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.

[@SheenaDouglass2021]

thank you. So pleased you enjoyed it Eric

[@Bezjc1936]

I love this Faux Leather Sheena. Got all the necessary except the new folders but I can't wait for them to arrive so will be having a go with a couple of your earlier folders today. Thank you for bringing us another fab technique. Beryl xx

[@diannebaldwin3667]

[@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!

[@sandyward5344]

That looks amazing thank you for the tutorial. So many ideas for christmas presents now

[@sergeylitvinov1178]

Супер!!!🙏🙏🙏 СПАСИБО БОЛЬШОЕ за классную идею и отличную и очень интересную работу!!! ВЫ МОЛОДЕЦ!!!💐🥰

[@kathysunshine699]

I use hair conditioner instead of glycerin it has a humectant and softeners, plus I always have it anyway… so no extra expense… I use organic no animal based products, also. But any of them will work like Pantene, Suave, my friend says the dollar stuff works as well.

[@janetbutler9763]

What a fab idea. 👍

[@karmenkrafts496]

Thank you, I have watched this video a few times, I love how you teach, and very soon I will try it for my self. Have a super up coming weekend.☺

[@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!!!

[@liss-sanedrac]

Wow it’s amazing. I never would’ve guessed that’s cardboard 🤯

[@ThePurpleFlower]

Wow this is stunning!! Especially that last one. Now you make me want to go get embossing folders. 😂

[@SheenaDouglass2021]

Do it, you know you want to!

[@ThePurpleFlower]

@@SheenaDouglass2021 I did make tons and tons of faux leather. Lol. Went crazy. All my cat food inserts are now faux leather. But I couldn’t emboss because I do t have the machine.

[@MyStraits]

Absolutely fab Sheena, can't wait to have a go when my folders and card arrive x

[@MissMaxdalena]

I absolutely love this tutorial! So easy to follow and really inspiring. Tried it today for the first time and the result was close to perfection, almost as lovely as yours. I am going to be doing a LOT of this! I live in Sweden and I bought my glycerine at the pharmacy (here it's called glycerol).

[@DeonnaBemish]

I love this! I will be trying it. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

Thank you so much for this tutorial I am making a wedding album and wanted to do the spine in a faux leather. Fantastic

[@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 :-)

Fantastic and gorgeous leather look

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

You sound like you come from Newcastle upon Tyne area. My great grandfather was from there. I am Australian. He came here in the 1890s . I am so enthused since seeing your embossed version. Might have to purchase a machine.

[@SheenaDouglass2021]

thumbs up for Grandad! Enjoy your crafting. glad you enjoyed this video. Check out my new ones and there's more coming very soon as I transfer them over from my Facebook lives on my main Sheena Douglass FB Page

[@patostler8373]

Hi Sheena Loved the faux leather technique & can't wait to try it out. When do you think you will be able to post the instructions how to turn the faux leather covers into books? Pat

[@duanehunter7361]

What is the craft card weight? Also is it 81/2 x11? Thank you

[@joangregory6428]

hi Sheena, thought you would like to know that my grand-daughter who is at a London Uni studying handbag design, wants to learn how to do your faux leather as she is a vegan and wants to use your "leather" to make her handbags at Uni. The lecturers are interested as well. Thanks for all your fantastic creations.

[@inspiredcaroline24]

I have had this saved for the right project & now I think I have one (hope, anyway). It would appear you don't reply to q's here but will ask in case. If necessary I'll go to website. Can we use mod podge, decoupage or watered down pva as alternative to spray & shine? This is an amazing technique & I am so pleased you shared it here, too rushed on tv. Tfs :))

Thanks for this Sheena, you were able to show it from start to finish without being rushed as you always are on C&C out of necessity. Could I ask if watered down pva would be an alternative to the spray and shine?

Thanks Sheena - Fantastic technique! Saw a sample on C&C (Pollyana Pickering Collection). Found your videos on You Tube. Got my Glycerin from Superdrug (pharmacy), Collall tacky glue in Coleman's art shop. One more thing I needed, an eBosser!!! (been thinking about it as unable to use manual machines). Turned my want into a need ;-) Just wish I could get hold of your folders - sold out all over.

[@frenchstamper]

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.

[@1deleau]

Wow... amazing! I have zero supplies... where to start! Is that what we call cardstock in Canada, or cardboard?

Hi Sheena :) Love that you've shared such a brilliant idea - thank you. I'd be grateful if you had any idea if vegetarian glycerin will do the same job? Cheers Sheena xxx

Hi Sheena, you don't have any Links to your website or the products you used. I am looking for the "Spray and Shine?? Not sure what that is. Can you give me a link.

hair conditioner works and cheaper! Plus it's usually in your house

[@saltyboi2435]

can you explain how, and what it does?

[@katmurphy6491]

@@saltyboi2435 I use a really cheap conditioner from a dollar store and it actually keeps your journal feeling more like soft leather! It conditions your book just your own hair. Hope that helps

Fantastic Sheena! I'll be going out and getting some glycerine when this sleet stops!

[@susanburns1442]

fabulous tutorial. Would furniture polish do the same as spray and shine

Wow! How gorgeous is that! Thanks for such a fab video! (I feel like I"m overusing the exclamation point but it's well deserved in this case!) :-)

Fabulous thank you I will be trying this xxx

[@JH-px2iw]

How well does it dry? Do you have to worry about the Glycerin bleeding out on other paper that touches it?

[@gjk540]

I use a blow dryer to dry mine. The glycerin penetrates the fibers of the paper. It does not "bleed out."

[@JH-px2iw]

@@gjk540 thank you!!

[@corinneRollet]

Wow!!! Thanks a lot for this great video.

Dry nice presentation! Love the gridded plastic protector. What brand is that?

[@CricketsBay]

That gridded plastic thing is actually the old-style Tonic Glass Craft Mat.

[@sonofhibbs4425]

Sheena, Is “craft card” the UK equivalent to the USA’s “card stock”? Or is it a really thin chip board? Cereal box material?

[@SheenaDouglass2021]

It's like cereal box cardboard, usually brown/beige in colour

[@j.m.england6828]

Thanks for this great idea, I've never seen this done before, I look forward in making a journal. could I use water & aloe vera gel, or alcohol with the aloe vera gel instead of the glycerin.

[@SheenaDouglass2021]

Hi Melody. Ive never tried. Give it a go and let me know if it worked for you xx

[@FanVidder72]

Fantastic. I would love to have a go at this.

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