This was the coolest and most unexpectedly cool, project we did. Thanks, Becky!
We took any old or new faux leather item and completely altered them.
Here's how we did it:
Took a plain looking purse. Primed it with white gesso. Let that dry.
Then we had fun tissue paper choices (that was sprayed with a sealant beforehand so that the ink on the tissue wouldn't bleed) and applied ripped pieces to our item with a gel medium using a paintbrush.
After the gel medium dried, we stamped, used sharpie pens, painted with acrylic paint.
It was amazing how everything turned out- by just using tissue paper and paint!
This was just an old, plain black leather wallet. The result was: fun and fabulous! The art gel medium (it's kind of like Modge Podge; get it at Michaels) that was used makes it flexible and totally useable. When we were all done, we just sealed it up with another coat and all dried quickly.
