Favorite leather handbags and purses eventually age and, to the sorrow of their mistresses, lose their attractiveness. It's clear that you can always buy a new thing in return for the old, but still old things have their own history, which is why they become so dear to us. But having imagination and skillful pens, any old wallet or handbag can be given a second life, which will be almost brighter than the first, and all this thanks to decoupage on the skin or leatherette. Decoupage on the skin is suitable for beginner needlewomen, as this process is completely not difficult and very exciting. Let's take a closer look at how to make decoupage on the skin.
Decoupage in leather - master class
So, before we go directly to the description of the process of creating decoupage on the skin, let's consider what materials we will need during this process:
- napkin for decoupage with a pattern that you would like to see on your purse / purse;
- acrylic paints;
- acrylic primer;
- brushes for applying paint and varnish;
- sponge for applying soil;
- varnish (preferably vitreous);
- PVA glue;
- adhesive sealant;
- bag or purse that you are going to restore.
And now, having decided on the materials, let's move on to creating a decoupage on the skin:
- The first thing to do is to degrease the skin. To do this, wipe the surface of the purse / bag with cotton wool soaked in alcohol. After the skin has dried, use a sponge to carefully apply acrylic primer to the surface of the product. After the primer has dried, you can walk on it with a soft sandpaper to make the surface even more even. Next, take a napkin and cut out the patterns that you will use on your wallet. Do not forget to try them on the wallet before cuttings, so as not to cut smaller pieces than necessary. After that, using glue PVA quickly, but gently glue the napkin to the surface of the purse. Thus we glue the wallet in all necessary places.
- When the PVA glue dries dry, apply a sealant to the surface of the purse. This is done specifically to give the skin elasticity, which is very important, since the purse will be actively used, and not stand on the table like a wooden box. After the layer of glue-sealant has dried, we pass to acrylic paints. Those places on the purse, which you did not seal with a napkin, should be painted with acrylic paints suitable for the color range. After drying, the layer of acrylic paint is also covered with glue-sealant.
- After the layer of glue-sealant dries, it is necessary only to cover the entire surface of the purse with a vitreous lacquer. This varnish will give a picture on the purse of the volume, as well as protect its surface from damage.
