Making a Tie Dye Leather Wallet
In 2010 I figured out a way to get a tie dye effect on leather, so we decided to make a tie dye leather wallet by hand. The tie dye effect is made by floating leather dyes in water without mixing, so that when you dip the leather into the dyes a tie dye effect is achieved.
On top of the tie dyed leather, we used presses to die cut our wallet pieces for this wallet. Die cutting is a good way to make lots of pieces in a super accurate and fast way when you need to produce lots of things all at the same time. We die cut some of our stock leather products, and that allows us to hand sew and hand finish the piees while keeping the cost down to customers. Weaver's presses make that very efficient, as we do not need to buy expensive hydraulic presses or use any electricity. They also have very low maintenance, which means a lot more work time and a lot less down time waiting for things to be fixed!

Very cool dye technique! Thanks for showing! I've been watching lots of dye videos and its hilarious how few crafters wear gloves when dying 🤣 I'm guilty

Lol i was just thinking the same thing. I get questioned alot about my brown and orange fingertips
Yet another amazing project. It’s almost like every time I’m amazed by your work you take it up a notch. Great Job!
This is honestly such a cool technique I would have never guessed you could do such a dye job on leather. I love your stickers on your tool set.
This tie-dye is so pretty!
I would love a step by step of this dye process since I have tried it several times to only get spots of dye onto the leather.

Did you ever figure this out? I've gone through 3 bottles of dye and can only get spotted, splotchy results. I tried hot water, soapy water, added salt. No dice

@@PickledAmericano I did figure it out. First you have to use an alcohol based stain. Then there is a mix ratio sweet spot. Shallow pan , small amount of water. But really I didn’t like the result as the color leached off the leather for days.
WOW TRULY GIFTED WITH SUCH AMAZING TALENT I LOVE IT, THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS FANTASTIC VIDEO, I REALLY ENJOYED IT
Totally amazing effect! Can't wait to try this for myself. Thank you for sharing your technique.
Wow! What an effect. Definitely going to have to try that out. Great demonstration, cant wait to see what other colors work out well.
Oh my, this is amazing. So much great inspiration from this channel.
Wow, this video made me remember a multi colored wallet I had in the 1970s, it wasn't terribly well stitched but the leather colors and embossing were beautiful. It was evidently made in another country. I bought it either at a headshot or one of all these small craft and import shops that used to exist back then. The late sixties and parts of the seventies eras where people valued hand made items. Thank you for inspiring me to revisit really pleasant memories from my hippish teen years. Good times. ✌️☮️
This marble effect is absolutly stunning ! Cant wait to try
It’s so Satisfying to watch! Great job done .
Very cool. Would never have thought too tie-dye leather. Thanks for the idea.
Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing!!!
Wow! I’m always really impressed with you guys but this... this is AWESOME!! Very cool. Yeah, that gum trag really does nicely. Weaver has been my favorite for years as well.
This is, incredibly. Soothing.
Enjoyed every second of your video, thanks
Stoked on your new clicker press! Cool die technique too!
That looks awesome!
That’s pretty cool I’d love to have a holster like that
Trabajo de un verdadero maestro!
You are great. I like your all videos. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful dye effect there, can’t wait to try this on a holster project!

Gorgeous ! Congrats :)
Beautiful
Quedo fantastica!!
I would need to make a video of me standing up to aplaud your work! I began not long ago to work with leather and thanks to your videos, I love even more to do so, 'cause I want to be as good as you. As soon as it's possible for me, I'll buy this pattern to support you.
Great job.
So awesome!
Really really great work !! Badass !!

thank you!
Check out marbling technique for adding color also. You should be able to float leather dye on Carrageenan if you want more control over the patterns. If you want, that is.

May I ask how the technique?
Very, very nice!
Just saw this one today and I currently have a piece of veg tan drying out with half golden brown and half black pro dyes, can't wait to see what it looks like when it's done!
That's cute how your wife helps you. I hope I can get there someday with my girlfriend! BTW amazing work!!! Congrats!!!
Perfect flawless work. May I know why you do not use the vise when you are sewing?
What a great vid, thanks so much... Hi from England :-)
Fantastic!
Хорошая работа мне понравилось .👍
Amazing!
Can always tell a high class shop with Supreme-Craftsman branded storage units! 😜😂😜. Great video, as always!!!!
Precioso!!.. Podrías decirme que hiciste con el restante de la tinta? La puedes volver a utilizar?. Gracias. 😃
I know nothing about leatherwork and there is no explanation of how, this effect is created. My assumption is the dyes are oil based and then poured into pan of water????? Very cool look. I've never seen leather look like this.
What a neat idea :)
Amazing! Keep it up :)
Just one question, is the dye stable? Really worry if the colours will transfer to clothes or other items. Very beautiful work tho!
That is a super neat technique. Makes a great looking wallet. Weaver is your new sponsor? I thought so when I saw you using their products. Most of their stuff is top notch and they have great pricing. Above all they sell excellent leather. So far I haven't had to send anything back.
very cool!
I've watched this a few time and love it... are you using warm?hot water?how much water to dye
Awesome. Make me one!
Amazing
Creative
Hola, me gustaría saber que tipo de colorantes usa para mezclar con el agua y teñir los cueros? Sus trabajos son muy originales y hermosos.
just wow
Thanks for the sneak peak at your shop! I never knew you could marble like that, would’ve thought the colors would blend and everything be purple. Did you have to pre-treat your leather with something?
Hi. I was impressed by your work. I have a question. Is "gum trag" the same as "tokonole"? Marbling with water and oil is a fantastic thing.
that was magick .
La tinta que revolviste con agua la volviste a utilizar ?. La guardaste o la tiraste?. Gracias
It is nice and cool 👍🏻😊
This looks so nice! I only wish you had done the tie dye leather on the inside too and used black stitching instead of white, but aside from my two cents this looks awesome
very very very like it
Cool and awesome. Kindly what is the type of your edge beveler, and how can I get one Thanks
Hola, ese tinte se puede volver a utilizar en otra pieza?. O se tira?. Gracias
Esta genial
Awesome wallet I’ve been using weaver leather supply’s stuff for a while but I need some dies like those any idea as to where I can pick some up at?? Thank you
Thanks for sharing! Is this done using cold water?
nice work can i ask about leather thichness did you use ¡
5:23 MY IMMERSION!!!! jk love these videos.. wish my left ear loved it the same way... kinda feels forgotten.
I always enjoy watching your videos. I tried this today on some small scraps and it came out looking like one color. I didn't mix the water. Maybe I left the leather in to long. Maybe not enough dye. You got any tips?
i love the colours and random pattern like hydrography. but i didn't like the big holes of the stitching. cheers!
You can use this same method using acrylic paints for paper, clay pots, etc. How would this work wfor th paints on leather?
Do you have videos where you work with chrome tanned leather?
Молодец!!! Супер!!!
Is it weird that I got really really excited to hear a new video came out? No? Ok.
Idk how I got to this channel because I would never make anything like this but it came out dope asf

Hi! Love the tie-dye! So I'm going to be teaching a leather working class at our Homeschool co-op next spring but I have to teach basics in only 2 classes. Would you ever consider selling your wallet pieces pre-cut but not sewn so the kids could assemble and sew them together?
@HaliaeAesthetic

Tandy leather sells things like that! both specifically for kids and for adults depending on how old the kids at the co-op are!
YES!
Wow can we do the same thing to shoes ?that will be amazing!
It's just beautiful. Do you find your logo eventually works its way out of the leather when you put it on the fold of the wallet with the repeated bending back and forth?

Nope! been branding our work this way for 10 years and the logo is designed to stay imprinted - it stays nice and visible :)
