Making Leather Dye with Kool Aid?!
When I was just starting to work with leather, I had a super low budget for materials. I would make leather dyes with Kool-Aid because it was inexpensive. Dying leather with sugar free Kool-Aid packets is simple - just mix 4-5 packets (usually about 3/$1) into 2 cups of hot water, then soak a chunk of natural veg tan for 20 minutes or until darker than desired color. The leather will lighten a bit as it dries, but the color will stay and you'll have yourself a nice Kool-Aid dyed leather wallet in the end!

@Krisszhu1990 5 лет назад

@Stevie Cormier I would suggest to get blue leather dye. You can order one from amazon for 10 bucks. Clean the leather properly with alcohol beforehand, dye it, and than oil it up at least twice. The alcohol makes it really dry, so you need to oil and wax it really well. Good luck :)

@achadhaamoratsim7098 3 месяца назад

How long does the fruit smell linger? Would a coat of Bick 4 seal in the color & block the smell? The sugar in the Kool Aid doesn’t hurt the leather?

@danielsolon9243 5 дней назад

Get sugar free so it’s not as sticky.

@achadhaamoratsim7098 4 дня назад

@@danielsolon9243 Good suggestion. But I've been in this country nearly 5 years and have yet to see Kool Aid, with or without sugar.

I never thought I would see a KoolAid packet again. ps...you make me miss MA. It is still 90+ degrees down here in November.

@samydc310 2 года назад

It sticks pretty well by itself, only boiling water can wash it off. But if you wanna make sure you can waterproof it

@Handles-R-Lame Год назад

@@samydc310 any sort of leather finish will work, it doesn't have to be a waterproofing type. Although wax based and acrylic paste does stand up to be the strongest of them all usually. But nonwaterproof finishes like a leather balm, mink or neatsfoot oil, simple shoe polish heck even some saddle soap. Just buff any of these and they'll be a great finish to any dyed leather products.

@jayduke6105 5 лет назад

Does the formula change based on the leather: sq footage, thickness etc. ?

@user-fs3uf6ky1c 5 лет назад

@alvenhchanne Год назад

I would treat the leather with potassium alum before dyeing. Also, instead of using water to dissolve the Kool-Aid, maybe use 80%+ isopropyl alcohol instead.

@uniculCSM 6 лет назад

What is the name of the tool at 8:45? Also, what is that wax youre using at 9:15?

@MountainFisher 6 лет назад

csm; The tool is a common edge beveler and the wax is beeswax which is commonly used to burnish edges. Judging by the thickness of the leather I would venture a guess the edge beveler is a size 4. I use a size four on thinner leather like she's using for this wallet and for heavy projects like a belt or knife sheath I use 8-9 ounce leather and a number 2 edge beveler. An ounce is 1/64 of an inch, so 8 oz is 1/8th thick.

@MountainManKm 3 года назад

wont this become sticky and attact sugar ants?

@l.s.11 3 года назад

That was my concern too. But the packaging says "add sugar" (you can see it 1:14) so I'm guessing no. But idk, I've never had Kool-Aid as it's not a thing in my country.
