You will need:

• Setacolor Leather paint in various colours

Difficulty level:

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!
