everything I’ve read says to do it bare handed. it’s bonds to the leather better from your manos.

Dilute the dye with alcohol if its alcohol based dye. Then you can apply several coats of diluted dye till you get the desired colour.

why does no one talk about the leveling involving the BLACK LINE?! unfortunately this video is way outdated since the new model doesn't have the stupid black line on the press that indicates where you should be based on your die

How did you get the designs onto the dollar tree cutting mat? I may have missed that in the tutorial

I added a fraction of the mahogany dye to some red dye to get the effect I wanted. No matter how much denatured alcohol I added to the mahogany alone, it was still very dark.

Where do you get the pattern? I went to cricut and said not available in the United States..? I love the patter

GET TO THE POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just bought a BigShot. A few questions...where did you get the wooden designs,how thin is the leather you used? Having problem w/ metal dies not imprinting or going through if I make sandwich according to directions. Note: dies are not sizzix brand. Folders are different brand but figured out a different way to make it work. Appreciate your help

Thank you for making this!

What are you drinking? It doesn't look like red wine.

Do you know how to do the opposite??I just want to make look leather like new,Ii is dark and I want it lighter,can I just sand it?it is a saddle and the leather surface is very smooth

yes, Thxs.

You might consider putting a small hole in the mask in areas that don't suck down, eye socks etc, when the vacuum is applied, air may be trapped between mask and leather in airtight pockets and cant escape and suck out. Also consider putting the vacuum hole thats on the bag directly behind the mask so that it isn't obstructed by the other side of the bag at all, create max vacuum suction directly behind the mask pulling everything directly into the skull, this is when those tiny holes will really help.

Neat trick!

Thank you for this, it was really helpful.

How long can edge kote paint can stay

Hi, new to the channel. How do you proceed from the point after applying the edge kote? Do you use Tokonole to seal the edge?

If I wipe this onto black leather hand bags which the colour is coming off a little bit onto white clothing ...does it seal the colour so if wiped with a tissue no colour will come off?

Could leather Branding be done on a pair of boots?

Thank you for this video! Now I have hope to get my handles on my vintage bag shiny/ glossy

Amazing! cool thing is I went ahead and search if somebody had the problem that I was foreseeing and then I found your footage. Thank you.

Hi I love the tutorial, I am a little late getting into the Cricut scene lol. I got your pattern and can't wait to try it. I wish everyone was a good at tutorials as you are. Thanks!

Great video . Any idea of the thickness of the wood used .Thx

You made my day ❤

Great video! I love how you show the whole process with no cuts!

Just a suggestion. I’ve had success using resolene but diluting it 50/50 with water, and then use a small brush and a light hand. The light the coat the better. And then apply multiple coats. I came to see how you faired with the leather sheen because resolene application takes to long for me.

I love drinking and hot metal stamping. What could go wrong? 😁 Great video.

This is interesting as I have a Graphtec Craft Robo Pro cutter still laying around. As I used to have an older more dumber type cutter that worked fine, but then sold it as I ended up not doing much vinyl stuff. But then got the Graphtec Craft Robo Pro like a decade ago as someone had it for sell for cheap as it's like a $1k vinyl cutter new. And anyways, the thing would start cutting in the wrong place every time, and sometimes would fritz out and just spin the blade like it was having a siezure. So I stopped using it and haven't messed with vinyl since. But seeing the cheap Circut thing cut into leather. I may get my Graphtec out and do a system reset back to factory settings and see if I can get it cutting like it should. And then see if I could use it to cut the slits for my pyramid spots. As getting everything straight is the most important. I'd still have to use a punch for the cuts that two tangs from the pyramid spots go in that are next to each other. But at least I wouldn't have to mess with a template anymore. Hmmm.

You can actually do this but you need to thicken the liquid. You can use a combination of corn starch and normal lotion to make a thicker paint that will stick to your skin. If your skin is sensitive you can even use professional face paint (like snazaroo) to put down a 'foundation." Once it is dry then use the glow paint on top of that so it doesn't have as much direct contact with your skin. Always test a small amount on your skin first to make sure you do not have an extreme reaction and always make sure the glowsticks you use are Phthalate free!

I used a dense sponge it worked great

It's coming off but it's only what you need to rub off before you apply the resolene, or do what I do and apply with a super fine makeup brush. It leaves no streaks because of the very fine texture it has

You got a great results, I wish you would have made the video of the presses! Thanks

I've searched high and low for a decent tutorial on how to use the B997 to no avail. Looking forward to having coffee and craft time in the future!

Hi there. Beautiful design. I can't get the links to work for the free pattern.

HEY! Thanks for the download HOW Flippin Nice of you! THANK YOU! The Rolling pin is perfect!

Hi, love your videos, new to your page. Can you tell me the width size of the strap to go through the cut outs ? Thank you for the free pattern.

Great Job ! I have the traditional bevelers I have the one you were using I am going to start using that one seems a little easier !

Would using a cheap air brush help in applying resolute???

I line back of leather with contact paper before attaching to mat. Cuts down on fuzzies!

Well Madam I'm new to learher crafts, and Had this idea about doing this exact thing, but couldn't find anyone that did it, and could explain it. Until now, really like the video, and you answered all my questions. Just wanted to say thank you.

Girl I was bored from start to finish. I was just waiting to see the out out. You bored me a lot with unnecessary talking.

That’s a cool notebook. One thing I do to make all my paint colors really pop is I paint the area white first and the add my color or metallic on top of the white. I also usually apply the Eco-Flo Super Shene after staining and before painting. Great job though! 👏

I have only used predyed leather so far. But how I do my burnishing by just dampening the edge with water and use a wooden tool. It comes out super shiny then I use a clear liquid edge Finnish. That might work good for you is by not blocking the dye from penetrating the leather if you dye it before applying a finish to the edge.

thanks much, very helpful. i've a leather jacket where i'd used some citrus dissolver to remove small flecks of white latex paint and even tho i wiped it off fast and flushed it with leather cleaner, the top coat of the shiny leather was removed on a 4x4 millimeter area. i was looking for something to apply to restore the shiny coat to that very small area and found resolene to be the most suggested. but using it for my specific purpose was never discussed. your video was great in showing how to put the resolene on and what to expect, and it looks as if it will be perfect for my purpose when it arrives in the mail. thanks.

I originally purchased the 45mm as they are cheaper than the 60mm. However I got the 60 for a birthday present and in the last year I haven't picked up the 45. About cutting paper you don't need much pressure, even if you ran off you may not have gone deep as you did. I do have a small and the phone style suction cups for my acrylic rulers, my kids can only use the rotary cutter if they use the suction cup holders. Something to think about. Thanks for taking the time to make the video, good stuff.

Hello @madame ks Thank you for the great tutorials, quick question where can I buy the leather you used for this purse?

Heat gun, good idea!

What kind and size of thread do you use?

Good to know. Thanks.

Madam Ks , where did you learn to do it ?
