Step 1: Measure, Mark and Cut Your Leather Pieces

Measure and cut your leather into roughly 2" wide x 3" long rectangles.

Clip two corners on each rectangle to give it a "tag" look.

Step 2: Stamp Your Leather

If using natural leather, use a sponge and wet the leather.

Stamp your leather with the words or patterns of your choice.

Step 3: Tape Off Painting Area

If you will be dyeing your leather, dye and let dry completely before doing this step.

Tape off the area you will be painting using frog tape or painters tape.

Step 4: Painting

Apply several coats of Angelus® Acrylic paint in the color of your choice. This will give a nice base coat and allow the glitter to really stand out.

Once the paint is dry, apply several coats of Angelus® Glitterlites. 2-3 coats gives it a nice sparkle.

Step 5: Add String and Complete

Use an art knife or utility knife and make a small slit at the top of the tag.

Take a piece of string or thread, double it and slide it through the opening, bring the ends of the string through the other looped end and pull tight.

You are all done!
