I did this but I made several layers and mod-podged them together. After that, I rubbed some beeswax onto it. Total leather replacement without hurting the ani-mules 😂🤣 Thanks for the great video!
Just found you and your lovely videos. So glad I did! I’m very new to this, but so excited to be learning. Your success with the Fabritac glue is due to it being acetone based. The water based glues cause the problem. Anytime only one side of a paper is moistened, it’ll try to curl to that side. This is also true when eco-printing or coffee-staining paper. Hope this helps! 😊
Great tutorial...thank you! I will definitely make a notebook like this, only since I am a "junk journaler," I will probably use some of your fantastic papers for the inside pages and do a 3 hole pamphlet stitch for the binding. This would look fantastic in a standard Midori-style travelers notebook too! Lots of applications for the faux-leather look. I really enjoy your tutorials.
Wow! This was so inspiring to me. I have an obsession with vintage looking journals and I collect them but making my own would be amazing. And this tutorial is so clear and actually looks like something I could do. Thank you so much I’m gonna try this! 😘
Good tutorial! The Fabri Tac is acetate based and the tacky glue is water based, I think. So the tacky glue will warp the paper and the Fabric Tac won't.
I've seen similar techniques but I like yours more because you can have any thickness of 'leather' by having a thicker or thinner backing board. I want to make some leather folios that I'm going to use foam core boards (so 5 or 6mm thick). This would just wrap around nicely and create a nice thick leather board. The only real limit is how wide your baking paper is. Good job.
I’m new sub. Excellent tutorial. Detailed, informative and your English is excellent. So considerate to include both metrics and imperial measurements, along with not editing out the glue booboo, but allowing to learn about the difference in the glues. Thanks so much
Thanks for sharing this wonderful technique! I always love your tutorials, you make them easy to follow with good instruction and details. This faux leather is super sweet & I'll give a go for sure!
5/3/23: I made two on yesterday and they came out great. I love the crumbled paper method 'cause it makes it look and feel more like leather to me as opposed to just using plain brown paper bags. And after I put the Decoupage on top, WOW, the final look was fantastic. Thank you for taking the time to post this project. I will now make many in various sizes for photos and such.
Oh what a wonderful video of making a cheap and quick feaux leather. I will check it out and cover a wallet with this feaux leather. Yes you inspired me. Thank you very much. Greetings from Bavaria 😀👍
Thank you Tinne! I've tried using paper bags for faux leather but they are thick and difficult to work with. I'm excited to try your technique! It will be perfect for a travel journal I'm making for my step-daughter. Her first trip to England. ❤️👍🏻
Really nice Tinne!! I've never actually seen a video on how to make faux leather out of paper. I loved this!! I like making junk journals so I'm going to try this for one of them. Hope it comes out as pretty as yours. I've been making a journal for my brother in law but have been really stumped on a cover. Thanks!! Hugs 😘 Kelly Weiskopf
Tinne, I really really love 💕 your faux leather journal, it looks so rich and stunning and if I was going to make faux leather I would want it for a journal 📓 cover. Thank you so much xxx Mags
At 14:19 in this video, you use a black handled pen-like tool with a slant metal edge (used to peel back double sided tape). I am unfamiliar with this tool but imagine it would be useful in many ways. Can you please tell me what it is called so that I can look for a similar tool? Thanks~
I'm actually very well, Melinda, thanks for your concern. Perhaps it's my makeup. I'm getting 40 at the end of the year and those under eye area's are not easy to do. And I don't want to spend more than 5 minutes on makeup for filming :p
oh my god when you started to trim down the faux leather effect paper a bit and said "cut it down a big centimeter, or half an inch" i laughed because i do the same thing with measurements that are ALMOST but not quite at an evenly rounded-off measurement. to differentiate, when my measurements are actually right on the mark, i'll call it a PERFECT inch lol
Thank you so much! Another really helpful video! I will try this technique to make a "midori - style" notebook with elastic cord so I can easily change-out the pages. Thank you!
I was sewing the pages in by old worn out leather strip. Two holes in the pages like you did with the staple. With tie in back, with enough left to wrap around to keep closed.
love this style of faux leather!! im definately going to try this!! and i also got a kick out of your NON existent words and the fun attitude of just making those up!!
Oh wwwooowww this is awesome! Thankyou for showing us this! I will definatly give it a go. I may need to make a fake label though. I can't find them anywhere here in Australia.
What everything is dry on your cover where it was wavy on the edges from tacky glue, just cover with parchment paper and iron over it really quickly! You did an absolutely stunning job ❤
This is the third one I have watched and it is easily the best. The first one required a lot of fancy equipment and the instructions in the second were vague and the woman rambled and waffled a lot.
This design is really lovely. I am putting together a cardboard fireplace for every day use and I am going to try this leather design in inserts on the front. Thank you for the inspiration!!
What would you like to make with this faux leather paper? Let us know in the comments!
I will make a "crumpy" passport holder. Greetings from Costa Rica pura vida!
I want to make a cool old looking journal for this week's school assignment of a Lewis and Clark expedition journal entry. Y'know, to make it fun!
Wow! This is a beautiful project - thank you!!!
Oohhhhh a vintage journal cover would be good!
Yes do it
I did this but I made several layers and mod-podged them together. After that, I rubbed some beeswax onto it. Total leather replacement without hurting the ani-mules 😂🤣 Thanks for the great video!
I love these faux leather covers!
Très joli et très bonne idée de cadeau. Je vais e réaliser. Merci beaucoup pour ce partage

LMAO I could not stop laughing at “Crumps” 😂😂
Wish I had thought of it.
Love it
absolutely beautiful
Great tutorial - will definitely try this technique - I can see it would be great for cards and tags too
WOW! Gorgeous faux leather. I love it. Thank you for sharing your clever technique with us
I simply love this project! But I wish I could make it bigger size for all kinds of souvenirs, any suggestions? Thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love new words, I will be using your new word..."crumps"! Love this idea I will be giving it a try!
Beautiful! Thank you for this well-done tutorial! 🥰
Love this tutorial!! Your faux leather looks amazing!!!

This is going to be my first real make. So lovely! 🦋🦋🦋

This turned out amazing and looks so authentic and great!
I love the vintage antique look of paper, so I'm definitely going to try this, thanks for the how-to demo
This turned out awesome Tinne. tfs =^^=
Tacky glue has too much water and fabritac, 3in1 and fabrifix don't. And that's what makes the wavy paper. I love your designs and kits.
Tinne that is a fabulous technique I will have to try sometime. Your notebook came out beautiful :) Hugs...Janie
You may have used several non-existent English words but I knew what they meant! lol
This gave me an idea for a journal I just bought, too.
Leather looks wavy like that anyway. Do you use gloss mod podge?
I used the regular mod podge (the yellow bottle)
Lovely little notebook, these would make nice men's gifts!
Love it!
Oh what a wonderful video of making a cheap and quick feaux leather. I will check it out and cover a wallet with this feaux leather. Yes you inspired me. Thank you very much. Greetings from Bavaria 😀👍

Lovely!!
This looks so amazing. I am trying this after work today.
Is what you called "baking paper" the same as parchment paper here in the states?
Yep!
Tinne, I really really love 💕 your faux leather journal, it looks so rich and stunning and if I was going to make faux leather I would want it for a journal 📓 cover. Thank you so much xxx Mags

It's the spatula from the Silhouette brand (but other digital cutting machine brands have it as well).
@@vectoriadesigns Oh my stars! Thank you for the information and the prompt response! Bless you!
Me encantó esta otra forma de hacer falso cuero!
A tener en cuenta en la próxima artesanía! Lo amo!
Great video. Hope all is well. You seem tired.
I'm actually very well, Melinda, thanks for your concern. Perhaps it's my makeup. I'm getting 40 at the end of the year and those under eye area's are not easy to do. And I don't want to spend more than 5 minutes on makeup for filming :p
You make this so easy I love the look on your book and am going to do some like that. Thanks for sharing.
Wow what a wonderful technique I love it, I’m loving your videos too thanks so much for sharing your creativity with us xxx
Thank you so much!!! This is exactly what I was looking for!!!❤
So much easier than the glycerin method! Thank you!
This is so nice. I am going to make my daughter one. Thank you for sharing ♥️
Thank you so much for sharing this it’s lovely x

That is so pretty! I am going to try this technique.
Thank you very much for this awesome tutorial. I am going to make a watercolor book with my cover.
Beautiful day ahead🎉🎉
Would baking paper be the same as parchment paper ?
Yes! I used baking paper.
I was wondering the same thing . What is baking paper ? Thank you for clarifying.
Excellent video.
Thank you so much! Another really helpful video! I will try this technique to make a "midori - style" notebook with elastic cord so I can easily change-out the pages. Thank you!
I did this with watercolor paper, no baking paper
Very nice technique. Thank you so much for teaching us your process
Is there anything else you could make other than books with this faux leather paper please?
❤muchas gracias. Precioso ha quedado
it looks more like bronze metal but i love it anyway!!!!!!!!!..:))
Yes, I have done it on an exiting book!
I was sewing the pages in by old worn out leather strip. Two holes in the pages like you did with the staple. With tie in back, with enough left to wrap around to keep closed.
Oh, this is fake faux leather. I was looking for real faux leather.
love this style of faux leather!! im definately going to try this!! and i also got a kick out of your NON existent words and the fun attitude of just making those up!!
Well, Brenda, I'm positive more non existent words will turn up eventually :D
Very good tutorial, I will try it,
Oh j'adore le rendu, il faut absolument que j'essaye cela !!! Merci pour tous les tutoriels que vous partagez ! Bises de Christine ;-)
Perfect project, thanks for the tutorial!!
"Crumps" as a word is in my official dictionary.
Beautiful 💯👌
Very nice journal and clear instructions! Thanks!
Merci Tinne j'ai trouvée mes couverture s
This is such a beautiful little notebook!!! I love it!!!
I'd use one of those sideways elastics.
Thanks for the faux leather tutorial! I think a picture frame might look nice.
You could add fabric to the inside.
Love this idea - looks so good!
Oh wwwooowww this is awesome! Thankyou for showing us this! I will definatly give it a go. I may need to make a fake label though. I can't find them anywhere here in Australia.
JULIE Spotlight probably have them in the section with all the Steampunk !!
What everything is dry on your cover where it was wavy on the edges from tacky glue, just cover with parchment paper and iron over it really quickly! You did an absolutely stunning job ❤
I am very excitedly watching your every video. You're an excellent teacher. Your all tutorials are super amazing. 💓💓💓😊
This is the third one I have watched and it is easily the best. The first one required a lot of fancy equipment and the instructions in the second were vague and the woman rambled and waffled a lot.
I've priced the faux leather material at my local craft stores..and its really pricey...love this inexpensive idea. Thank you for the tutorial
Love this project! It was so clearly demonstrated and explained. Thanks so much Tinne Anu 😆🦋
I just found this video thank you so much for sharing. I will try it soon.
Thanks for sharing, how very generous of you! Bisous et calins de Montréal ! xxxooo
OMG so gorgeous and fun to watch. Can't wait to try to make it myself. Thank you.
This design is really lovely. I am putting together a cardboard fireplace for every day use and I am going to try this leather design in inserts on the front. Thank you for the inspiration!!
Im not sure of staples
What a brilliant tutorial! I will definitely trying this. Thank you!!
Soo schön!! ❤ Es. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
❤️❤️❤️
Bravo!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Very nice!
Would this work on an existing notebook?
Love this. TFS xx
Bello
I really enjoyed this tutorial! 😊
You are amazing, Tinne. Thank you.
