How to Decorate a Leather Jacket: Ideas And Instructions : This Winter
A leather jacket, especially high-quality, resistant to weather and time, can get bored over time: it seems like it’s a pity to throw it away, and you don’t want to wear it anymore. Usually, in such a situation, the jacket is sent to the closet for a long time. We offer you another, more interesting and profitable option for you - to decorate your leather jacket and give it a second life.
Option number 1: Draw and Color
Required: fabric paints, fabric contours, brushes, spray varnish
Instruction: Decide on the theme and location of the picture. For example, you can run patterns along the sleeves and shoulders, paint or write something on the back, paint the front sides of the jacket, and so on. If you are not very confident about your artistic ability, paint with a stencil. You can make it yourself or download it on the Internet. Drawing on the skin is sometimes even easier than drawing on paper because while the paint has not dried, you can wipe it off with a napkin and try to draw again. First of all, apply the contours of the future pattern to the skin. Then, with the help of paints, start coloring. If you are overlaying patterns, you can do with only colored outlines. After the paints are dry, cover the drawing with a special leather spray. By the way, the paints with which you decorate your jacket can also be in the form of sprays. Alternatively, you can use an airbrush.
Option number 2: decoupage
You will need: napkins with a bright print, nail scissors, glue for decoupage on fabric, paint on fabric, brushes, hairdryer, sponge, and varnish spray.
Instruction: The decoupage technique for the skin is not much different from the classical one. The stages of work are the same: cut out the details you like, glue the bases (white layer of a napkin) on the jacket with decoupage glue of the prepared decor elements. Then prime them with white paint over the fabric, dry, and apply bright details over the painted over bases. Fix with glue. After drying, if necessary, tint the outlines of the primed substrates with paints. Dry each bonded item with a hairdryer. Then cover with spray varnish and leave for a day. The jacket is ready.
Option number 3: we hang safety pins
You will need : a lot of safety pins
Instruction: With the help of pins, you accentuate any details of the jacket or form original pin patterns. When hanging pins on your jacket, remember that you should not poke the pins - after each puncture, holes remain on the skin. When buying pins, choose the sharpest ones.
Option number 4: glue rhinestones, thorns, and fabric applications
You will need: all kinds of rhinestones, pebbles, thorns, fabric with interesting images, scissors, rubber glue for leather, dublerin.
Instruction: Plan out the pattern. Then, using rubber glue, carefully attach stones, thorns, rhinestones, and other hard jewelry to the selected places. Glue fabric decor elements with leather glue. Rhinestones look spectacular on individual parts of the product: collar, shoulder strap, pockets.
