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
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, 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. ✌️☮️
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
Could you use this same process for a leather item (which is already dyed), like an old purse, to tie dye it or would you have to use a different process.
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.
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?
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
Good Morning! Please, what liquid do you use to put the paints? use water at what temperature? I really like your work and your classes, they are very useful and very well explained! thank you so much for teaching!
I'm curious what the gum trag is for.... anything besides giving the colors more saturation? Never seen it used on anything but edges and raw backs. Then again I'm a newbie lol
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?
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?
@@Corter I have tokonole and not gum trag. Are they different?. I never knew you could do the outside of the leather. Just knew it was for slicking edges.
Is there a certain grade of veg tan that you are using? I have tried this process on several pieces ranging from a craftsman level to a superior level and CANNOT for the life of me get anywhere close to the marble effect shown. :( I have also tried pre-treating with neatsfoot oil (which I do for my normal dyeing) down to no pre-treatment of any kind and the dye just rolls off. Any insight would be much appreciated!
Lovely effect, I’ve tried this technique once before and found the dye came off. Do you find that the dye comes off? I notice you use Gum Trag on the front, but how do you guarantee it stays and won’t run off the inside?
What stitching technique is this? Is it just saddle stitching with one needle or something else? I’ve never seen it before but I love the way the stitches sit straight instead of the classic zigzag pattern.
it's two needles, just a basic saddle stitch without the stitching pony. The thread is slightly stacked but it's not super pronounced because it's a round hole, not slanted or diamond :)
I'm a Chinese fan. I've been following you for a long time. It's a pleasure to watch your channel. I try to make some leather goods myself, but I'm distressed because I can't find the right drawings. I'm grateful if you can tell me where you are searching for the drawings.
Thanks! Just water, the key is to not mix it and just pour in different spots. It'll float in the water and create the marbling effect, you can also get a softer effect with oil-based dyes
I have achieved some success in the Tie Dye, used to much water first time. What brand stitching chisels do you use ? I didn't see them in the weaver catalog? Thanks, Steve
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.
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
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.

Beautiful dye effect there, can’t wait to try this on a holster project!
Yet another amazing project. It’s almost like every time I’m amazed by your work you take it up a notch. Great Job!
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?
This tie-dye is so pretty!
This marble effect is absolutly stunning ! Cant wait to try
You always do such interesting and amazing work, I love your channel.

Wow, looks like grunge fabric. That's amazing
Totally amazing effect! Can't wait to try this for myself. Thank you for sharing your technique.
Very cool. Would never have thought too tie-dye leather. Thanks for the idea.

That's cute how your wife helps you. I hope I can get there someday with my girlfriend! BTW amazing work!!! Congrats!!!
Just one question, is the dye stable? Really worry if the colours will transfer to clothes or other items. Very beautiful work tho!
Love the look.
My favorite video so far. 👍
That’s pretty cool I’d love to have a holster like that
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!
nice work can i ask about leather thichness did you use ¡
Wow! What an effect. Definitely going to have to try that out. Great demonstration, cant wait to see what other colors work out well.
Woaaaaahh this looks wild
It's been a long time, would you tell me if the tie dye of the wallet faded please?
Can always tell a high class shop with Supreme-Craftsman branded storage units! 😜😂😜. Great video, as always!!!!
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.
Nice...great work
hello, can you tell me which type of glue do you use please ? thank ypu so much
Trabajo de un verdadero maestro!
Beautiful wallet! Love your videos, just starting out and I'm learning a lot from you guys. Cheers!
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
Beautiful wallet!
I've watched this a few time and love it... are you using warm?hot water?how much water to dye
Could you use this same process for a leather item (which is already dyed), like an old purse, to tie dye it or would you have to use a different process.
Is that oil based dye?
That is a super neat technique. Makes a great looking wallet.

Gum tragacanth for the top? Do you use resolene to keep colors from coming off?
What he applied while polishing?? What is that white thing? A glue or what?
did you need filter on the water before drop color sir ?
Thanks for sharing! Is this done using cold water?
Leather marbling ... clever!
Oh my, this is amazing. So much great inspiration from this channel.
Que hermosa pieza, los tonos combinados son perfectos.
La felicito saludos desde Cancun Quintana Roo México
Me encanta preciosa cartera
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.
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?

Wow can we do the same thing to shoes ?that will be amazing!
Good Morning! Please, what liquid do you use to put the paints? use water at what temperature? I really like your work and your classes, they are very useful and very well explained! thank you so much for teaching!
What protective agent have you applied to your skin? Gum Tragacanth Fiebing's?
Really really great work !! Badass !!
thank you!
Perfect flawless work. May I know why you do not use the vise when you are sewing?
I can’t get mine to even come to looking like that. Pro dye and water? What am I missing?
You're amazing at your job, I hope I learn to be like you someday.
Cool and awesome.
Kindly what is the type of your edge beveler, and how can I get one
Thanks
That looks awesome!

5:23 MY IMMERSION!!!! jk love these videos.. wish my left ear loved it the same way... kinda feels forgotten.
Beautiful
Great stuff!!!
So awesome!
You can use this same method using acrylic paints for paper, clay pots, etc. How would this work wfor th paints on leather?
Just beautiful

Tandy leather sells things like that! both specifically for kids and for adults depending on how old the kids at the co-op are!
You are great. I like your all videos. Thanks for sharing.
It’s so Satisfying to watch! Great job done .
Hola, ese tinte se puede volver a utilizar en otra pieza?. O se tira?. Gracias
how thick of veg tan do you use?
Hi. Can I use white glue/leather cement instead of contact cement? What is your opinion? Thank you
Is there a reason why you finished with gum trag over the dye vs. Carnuba cream or bag kote or some other finish?
just personal preference! I like using gum trag and canvas because it brings out a nice little patina in the un-dyed sections of leather
@@Corter I have tokonole and not gum trag. Are they different?. I never knew you could do the outside of the leather. Just knew it was for slicking edges.

I’ve been trying for days to do this only to have the pro dye roll right off the leather. It isn’t sticking at all. Are you still trying to do this?
Lovely effect, I’ve tried this technique once before and found the dye came off. Do you find that the dye comes off? I notice you use Gum Trag on the front, but how do you guarantee it stays and won’t run off the inside?
La tinta que revolviste con agua la volviste a utilizar ?. La guardaste o la tiraste?. Gracias
What a great idea, thanks for sharing!

Idk how I got to this channel because I would never make anything like this but it came out dope asf
glad you liked it!
Beautiful.....was the dye water based? Ray,Oklahoma
Absolutely, awesome !
Mind to make a video of your stitching method ?
Precioso!!..
Podrías decirme que hiciste con el restante de la tinta?
La puedes volver a utilizar?. Gracias. 😃
What a neat idea :)
What's that for topcoat?
I'm a Chinese fan. I've been following you for a long time. It's a pleasure to watch your channel. I try to make some leather goods myself, but I'm distressed because I can't find the right drawings. I'm grateful if you can tell me where you are searching for the drawings.
Can someone answer? What’s that flap of leather for at 3:50? Thank you
what color do you use
i love the colours and random pattern like hydrography. but i didn't like the big holes of the stitching. cheers!
That is AWESOME ! Are you mixing Fiebings Pro Dye with water or something else since Pro dye is alcohol based?
Thanks! Just water, the key is to not mix it and just pour in different spots. It'll float in the water and create the marbling effect, you can also get a softer effect with oil-based dyes
I have achieved some success in the Tie Dye, used to much water first time. What brand stitching chisels do you use ? I didn't see them in the weaver catalog? Thanks, Steve
Do you have videos where you work with chrome tanned leather?
Would this work with water based leather dye?
