There is a new and updated version of my Faux Leather technique, please check it out on this channel or find it in Videos on either my 'Sheena Douglass' Facebook page or my Facebook Group Page called 'Sheena's Ink-ettes'
I use hair conditioner instead of glycerin it has a humectant and softeners, plus I always have it anyway… so no extra expense… I use organic no animal based products, also. But any of them will work like Pantene, Suave, my friend says the dollar stuff works as well.
looks fab and as a vegetarian i love the fact that it is not leather. I have a lot of UK viewers that say they cannot find glycerin, glad you have told them where to buy it! Have a great day!
I got mine from Amazon. It is used in the e-cigarette to quit smoking; Some stores have glycerin in flavors. I am going to try crystal clear or clear acrylic sealer. I put mine through the cuttlebug..Did a good job only thing it takes more time .I am experimenting . I got too inspired. Thanks very much for the video.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial! How amazing that the paper actually looked like leather! Your explanation is adorable. “Cheaper than chips”... that’s a new one to me across the pond. Lol Thank you!
Its a mind blower and I love doing it! Thank you - Be sure to check out the 'New and improved' version video on my you tube channel - just added. Love, Sheena xx

Sheena you are amazing. I get very impatient with crafting videos that faff about but you are straight in there, nattering in your gorgeous accent and so watchable. I have learned a brilliant new technique. Can't wait to try to make some jewellery with it. Thank you so much.
Oh My Giddy Aunt, this is fab. A definite game changer for me coz I’m making diary’s, shoe box doll houses and jewellery boxes for my grand daughters and this effect will be ideal for corners etc. hi from Newcastle (well, Wallsend really) x
I love this Faux Leather Sheena. Got all the necessary except the new folders but I can't wait for them to arrive so will be having a go with a couple of your earlier folders today. Thank you for bringing us another fab technique. Beryl xx

@@saltyboi2435 I use a really cheap conditioner from a dollar store and it actually keeps your journal feeling more like soft leather! It conditions your book just your own hair. Hope that helps

Hi Sheena I LOVE your technique and will attempt this tomorrow as I have two special people for whom I need a beautiful gift. This will suit to a T. I will watch the Page insert also so I can complete the gift. Many thanks for such a gorgeous technique.

1/21/22: Great Googa-mooga, Sheena, this technique was the BOMB and I loved it! I can't wait to try it. Typically, I'd use a brown paper bag, never seen it done with kraft paper, but I'm definitely gonna try it. And the embossing folder is really cool. TFS!

Hi Sheena. I tried this technique out today. I could not get your products to seal it , so I used Modge on 1, Hibuild Sealer on 2nd one and a liquid varnish on the 3rd one. I must say I think I am liking the liquid varnish the best, but all 3 have come out well. You do have to give at least 4 coats with all 3 methods. LOVE IT!!!

I'm studying textile design at Heriot Watt and would love to try this technique in my next project as I am exploring leather alternatives. Thanks for the video!
@@SheenaDouglass2021 I did make tons and tons of faux leather. Lol. Went crazy. All my cat food inserts are now faux leather. But I couldn’t emboss because I do t have the machine.

finally got round to getting the right kraft paper and will be trying the technique out very soon. I know Sheena does not have time to check the comments or answer but does someone else know how I can get the different colors she shows in the video? is it still using the craft card and just coloring on top with a different color distress ink ? Thanks to Sheena for all the inspiraiton.

I absolutely love this tutorial! So easy to follow and really inspiring. Tried it today for the first time and the result was close to perfection, almost as lovely as yours. I am going to be doing a LOT of this! I live in Sweden and I bought my glycerine at the pharmacy (here it's called glycerol).
hi Sheena, thought you would like to know that my grand-daughter who is at a London Uni studying handbag design, wants to learn how to do your faux leather as she is a vegan and wants to use your "leather" to make her handbags at Uni. The lecturers are interested as well. Thanks for all your fantastic creations.

Hi Sheena,really love this. Its definitely one to try. Went to the supermarket this morning and couldn't get glycerine. Think I'll have to go to the chemist. Look forward to the other video seeing how you put the notebook together.
Wow, that's all I can say. I know this an old vlog but I have just found you just subbed does not look like you have uploaded in many a year but still subbed lol I can go through your old vlogs

You sound like you come from Newcastle upon Tyne area. My great grandfather was from there. I am Australian. He came here in the 1890s . I am so enthused since seeing your embossed version. Might have to purchase a machine.
thumbs up for Grandad! Enjoy your crafting. glad you enjoyed this video. Check out my new ones and there's more coming very soon as I transfer them over from my Facebook lives on my main Sheena Douglass FB Page

You can use one-layered carton, paperbags (then maybe without or much less glycerine), Kraft-paper, packing paper. The thicker the paper the more glycerine you'll need, the thinner it is the greater is the danger that the glycerine just lets the paper desintegrate and it will fall apart when you crumple it. You can also use handcream or cheap hair conditioner instead of the water-glycerin mixture. Therevs glycerine in it, too.
What an awesome technique, I would really like to try it. Hope I can find the 2items I need.. thank you for shearing. Also Sheena, where could I get the Glycerin in the USA ?

Thanks for this Sheena, you were able to show it from start to finish without being rushed as you always are on C&C out of necessity. Could I ask if watered down pva would be an alternative to the spray and shine?
Thanks for this great idea, I've never seen this done before, I look forward in making a journal. could I use water & aloe vera gel, or alcohol with the aloe vera gel instead of the glycerin.
Hi Sheena, you don't have any Links to your website or the products you used. I am looking for the "Spray and Shine?? Not sure what that is. Can you give me a link.

Hi Sheena Loved the faux leather technique & can't wait to try it out. When do you think you will be able to post the instructions how to turn the faux leather covers into books? Pat
Fantastic! I am going to try and work out how I can do this with my Cuttlebug. The EBosser is becoming more of a need than a want! Thank you for sharing xx

I have had this saved for the right project & now I think I have one (hope, anyway). It would appear you don't reply to q's here but will ask in case. If necessary I'll go to website. Can we use mod podge, decoupage or watered down pva as alternative to spray & shine? This is an amazing technique & I am so pleased you shared it here, too rushed on tv. Tfs :))

Thanks Sheena - Fantastic technique! Saw a sample on C&C (Pollyana Pickering Collection). Found your videos on You Tube. Got my Glycerin from Superdrug (pharmacy), Collall tacky glue in Coleman's art shop. One more thing I needed, an eBosser!!! (been thinking about it as unable to use manual machines). Turned my want into a need ;-) Just wish I could get hold of your folders - sold out all over.

Could you please put in the video description the links to all the products used that you can buy on your website? I'm having a hard time finding the right things
It’s called a “die cutting machine” a number of companies make them. It has a roller that presses the embossing folder into the paper. Some people try a rolling pin and an embossing folder. You would have to press really hard and you might not get the impression. I hope my explanation helps!

I just made my first one and used dark brown latex paint and I think it came out really good! The latex seems to add a good rubbery, or faux leathery feel.
Hello, I tried this and for my first time, didn't do too bad. However no where near as good as yours. See I use these for envelopes for letters and for my first time I may have used a bit too much distressing. But that's why I have more sheets lol. I have vintage photo and walnut, that fine be fine right? Thanks for the tutorial

It's a mixture of about one part of glycerin and 5-6 parts of water. You can also use the cheapest brands of hand cream and hair conditioner, they also contain a lot of glycerine. The glycerine softens the paper fibres.

Sheena Douglass thank you I will defiantly do it. I have done some with some different colored paper and it turned out pretty good. I did black and then I used the distressed crayons in white and gray in the creases it actually turned out pretty nice but I would love to see what you could do you’re the master
