Steps:
- Ink stamp with different color brush markers or ink pads. Stamp leather frame with different images, reinking stamp after each impression. Clean stamp with stamp cleaner when changing colors. You might find it helpful to make paper patterns to plan the design before stamping directly onto leather.
- Once design is completely stamped and dry, spray Leather Sheen to protect the stamped images.
Variations and Tips:
- Select stamps and colors to coordinate with photograph or room decor.
- Stamp small pieces of leather in other colors and cut into different shapes. Adhere leather pieces, beads and buttons to photo frame for a three-dimensional effect.
