As a miniaturist, we often simulate leather with crushed, brown paper as its really effective on tiny things like book covers and all sorts of leather items.
So true! I bet it has lots of uses! Thanks for watching! 🙌😊
I make my faux leather the way you do with the second technique, but before each wrinkle, I use glycerine on the paper, then crunch it up, open and add more glycerine, then wrinkle up again….two or three times. It requires a little bit of drying time, but it actually feels like real fabric/leather. I love your embossed leather; they look very rich like an old book cover. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! That’s a great technique as well! 👍 I made a video awhile back using a very similar technique on brown grocery bags, except I use a hair conditioner instead of glycerin 😊
Bonjour 😊
Merci pour cette vidéo 👍vos petits carnets sont très jolis
A bientôt 😊
Do you let it dry in between rounds of applying glycerine & crunching? Thanks
@@magpie92766 yes. It takes a while to do this process, but man is it worth it! I usually do about 5 or 6 pieces at once so I will have it on hand. I usually use Kraft card stock instead of a bag as it’s a little bit thicker. It really feels like leather, looks like leather,,,,,must be leather!
@@anneanne625 Thank you so much! 😊
Oh my gosh! I've made faux leather but this is to another level.
Down the rabbit hole I go 😂
@@cherokeedancer8448 So glad to hear it! Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy this faux leather adventure! 😊🙌🌺
I love that you call that size a wallet journal. That’s actually how I’ve always thought of them, good to know I’m not alone! And love the faux leather technique, very beautiful
Thank you so much! 🤗💖 A wallet comes to mind right away when you hold one of these! 😊
I was so excited for this video! I’ve made faux leather with the intention on using it in a craft project but ended up rolling it up like a scroll and using it like that for decor in my living room! I love it! But I want to make that wallet journal. This video was fantastic! I like your videos bc you show how to make something and then you show how to incorporate what you’ve made into a project! I think that’s fantastic! A lot of times once I’ve learned how to make something I’m like “well, what do I do with it?” With your videos I never have that question. How nice! Thanks so much!
❤️💜💚
Thank you so very much, Paige! 😊 I always like hearing from you! 💕Glad you enjoyed this video and liked the projects! That is true - I don't like making something just for the sake of making 😂 I always want to put my materials to a good use! Hope you have a great rest of the weekend! Hugs! 🤗🌺
Thank you for not rushing and making the steps easy to follow. I have learnt a lot even at 76. ❤

Thank you so much, Dawn! 🤗💕
I do so enjoy your videos.
I've been wanting to try your faux leather technique since I watched one of your videos on this.
I make wallet holders for post-it notes using card stock and water colored paper. I'm going to try this for my next show.
Thank you for your time.
Blessings 🤗🌹
Thank you so much, Lynda! I'm so glad you are enjoying my channel! I love your idea of using this faux leather on your wallet holders! 😍 Enjoy! 🤗🌺
I love these ideas!❤ I’m going to make a “wallet journal” to take on a vacation trip and document in that and add pics of the trip in there. Then I just have to add it to my big journal when I get home. Could you tell me which foil you used? Was it the kind you use with heat normally? Or the kind that doesn’t require the heat? And, what a great idea for either one really…just didn’t know you could use any foil with glue like that.
Thank you so much! 😊 So gad you liked the wallet journal, and I love your idea of using it on a vacation and then adding it to your big journal! 😍 The foil I use is iCraft Deco Foil. I never used it with heat, I think it's designed to work with foil adhesives like gel and sprays, but Scotch Permanent glue stick definitely works 😉 Happy crafting! 🤗🌺
This is so beautiful! ☺️
Thank you so much, Bobbie! 😊🌺
Thank you very much for this tutorial, it is beautiful. Much Appreciated.

Miss Valeriya, this project turned out so beautiful. I love all the details that you put into them. You said you used alcohol ink pens, what brand are they. How many papers did you use in the wallet journal. Love this project for happy mail to a friend. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family. 🥰💖💖💖💖💖👍👍👍👍👍(🌹🐞🦂🌵)
Thank you so much, Ms Rose Marie! 🤗💕🌷 No detail ever escapes you! 😉 My alcohol markers are by Tombow. I put 22 folded pages in this journal (most are full size, but some are smaller). Hugs, peace and blessings to you and yours, my friend! 🤗🌹💖
Definitely going to give that a go! Thanks so much!
Great! Thank you! 😊
I really like the last projects. I think the paper bag would make a wonderful traveler's notebook cover. OF course there would need to be some tweaking of the layout...but I can see the whole thing in my mind. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you so much! So glad you liked them! I totally agree - I made some beautiful traveler's notebooks with this faux leather! 😊 Happy crafting! 🤗🌺

This is a great process video
Thank you so much!
lovely, very appealing --- thank you
Thank you so much! So glad you like it! 😊💞
Love this technique and can’t wait until tonight when I have some free time to give it a try! Personally I love both projects and plan to make them both. The folio is perfect for ‘happy mail’ (great term btw) and I have several friends who could use a pick me up. I’m also an embroiderer and am thinking of including some hand embroidery in the journal. Probably going to back the fabric with painted rice paper so the page doesn’t get too thick and still has some flexibility. Your video was excellent; you present the information at a clearly and concisely with out a lot of side chatter and at a good pace. Thank you for all the work I know it takes to make these videos to share with us!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I truly appreciate it! ❤ So glad you enjoyed the video! Your idea of adding embroidery sounds lovely! 😍 I’m sure your friends will absolutely adore receiving their happy mail from you! Hugs! 🤗🌺
Beautiful! I'm going to give it a try, although cant imagine it will be as professional a finish as yours! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you so much, Vanessa! 😊 You can do it!! Have fun! 🤗🌺
Beautiful pieces ❤️ love your idea's
Thank you so very much! ❤😊

Merci beaucoup , Adeline! 😊🌺
This is great 😊
Thank you so much! 😊🤗
This is an amazing process you came up with. Beautiful 🤩 Would it turn out if you did both sides with tea bags and mod Podge of course each after the other dries.
Thank you, Julie! Great question! I haven't tried it, but it sounds like a great idea! I'll have to try it out 😊 Hugs! 🤗🌺
Wow! I love your projects, so beautiful. Well done.. 🎉❤

Yes, I have made faux leather from brown wrapping paper and paper grocery bags using glycerine and water. It is great for pocket notebooks, journals, and more!
