To save money on shaving foam, make your own with a mug, brush, and bar soap. To save money on dye, use Rit liquid dye. To save money on top coat, use Mop 'n Glo, which is acrylic floor wax. To save money on leather, do practice pieces on paper.

Great suggestions, I would be interested to see if the soap vs foam would hold up to the dye, and not dissolve when you try to float the dye on top of it 🤔

Gonna try it with acrylic leather paint

Thx for this excellent marbling tutorial. Although I’ve marbled, I’m going to try your methods.

Been doing this for a while. It’s a lot of fun

Great video, Turbo! Thank you so much for the fantastic tutorial.

So glad your feeling better! I was pretty successful using your marbling guide so I'm gonna have to try this out. I always have shaving cream in the house :)

Great tutorial! Looking forward to more.

Im glad you feeling better! 😍🙌🏼👏🏼 Nice

OLD Leather Smith here, very nice. I use a BLUSH BRUSH from the dollar store, I put my dye in egg cartons or you can use cup cake tins, dip brush in each color it works 4 me. I also use alcohol dyes it still works. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

I used to do this to make end papers when I was bookbinding. Never thought to try it on leather! Guess I gotta go dig out the old tray and shaving foam, cause this looks awesome :)

@@dadhands thanks. Yeah I really think a few of them turned out well. I bit of a mess, but next time I'll be a little better organized I hope. Now is the hard part, making something with them.

@@michaels2208 I’m excited to see what you make out of all that leather 😊

20:21 gave me Van Gogh vibes Really awesome video, I am going to attempt a planets series taking inspiration from their colours.

I can't wait to try this! But I only have the gel right now. Would you do any stamping before or after doing this? I'm not even sure stamping would show up all that well

I personally usually stamp or tool beforehand, but I feel like both ways are totally possible, you’ll just want to have let your leather dry before dying it, and will need to case is again to tool it.

This is really cool. Can you use food colors on the shaving foam?

Thank you so much! I have personally never tried dying leather with food colouring, it sounds like it would make for a fun experiment though! I bet you’d get really nice, soft colouring.

What are you using for leather dye, water base or alcohol base?

@dadhands

I am using Angelus leather dyes, they are alcohol based. A water based dye would also work I’m sure ☺️

Are these washable

Do the leather gets noticeably rigid after dipping it in all that water, and if so, how do you bring it back to a softer, malleable texture? Can you use neatfoot oil?....and at what point?

Great question! It does get a little firmer as it dries. I personally like to bring it back with a little Aussie Conditioner.

Not too sure what you’re asking…….I have not personally dyed thread before though, no.
