Colored Leather?

Post by kawaiipunkd » Tue Jan 08, 2008 9:20 pm

Does anyone know where to find colored leather, preferable light purple and dark blue, for my Ren costume I plan on making... I'd really love to find it in red as well so I can make her collar, and wrist/anklets

And help is very appreciated <3

Try this: find a Sharpie and paint over the leather with the marker. Do this with scrap leather first to make sure it can turn out ok.

If you find a place that makes leather like that, tell me please.

Maybe you can search through Jo-Anne's Fabrics? I found a purple, red, black, white, brown, and green leather at a local store.
