Tag #9 - DIY Faux Leather Effect! BRAND NEW TECHNIQUE! 👀 @LouCollins

Uploaded July 2024 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

This is the 9th video in the 'Mixed Media 10 Minute Techniques' Series.
In this tutorial I am sharing an amazing new technique that I discovered by accident, which gives you the look of flaking metal or leather!

This video is a little longer than the others in this playlist, so I could fully share with you the varying methods and mediums that could be used.
