You will need:
- Setacolor Leather paint in various colours

- Leather pouch
- Palette for mixing colours
- Masking tape to mark off different areas
Difficulty level:

- Difficulty: medium - age 7 and up with the help of an adult
Step 1: Protect unpainted areas of the pouch
- Make sure you have all your supplies on hand. Choose paint colours that match your artistic vision.
- Use masking tape to mark off areas you don't want to paint. This guarantees clean, precise lines.
- Carefully wipe the leather pouches with the degreasing primer. A clean surface will ensure optimal paint adhesion.
Step 2: Apply the colours
- Start by applying the first coat of paint to the pouch. Use regular strokes to ensure an even application. Leave to dry completely.
- Once the first coat is dry, add details, patterns or textures with finer brushes.
Be creative and experiment!
Step 3: Apply subsequent coats if necessary
- Allow the paint to dry completely before moving on to the next coat or handling the pouches.
- If you want to intensify the colours, add extra coats, allowing each coat to dry between applications.
Step 4: Admire your NEW pouch!
- Carefully remove the tape to reveal clean, defined lines.
- Once everything's dry and finished, admire your personalized leather pouches! They are ready to use or give as a gift.
Don't forget to adjust these steps according to your artistic vision and preferred technique!
