Faux leather techniques create striking textures and handmade detail that cannot be matched by similar wallpaper patterns.
Step 11: Press the plastic in place and create the wrinkles. Following steps #5 and #6, crumple a sheet of plastic into a small ball and then gently spread the plastic sheet over the wet second process color. Lay the crumpled plastic sheet out flat, very lightly pressing the plastic into the glaze coating so it stays in place. Again, press with the flat of your hand so that you don’t transfer finger marks to the pattern. If there is more area to cover, apply an additional section of crumpled plastic wrap. Taking a dry chip or stipple bush, lightly press the plastic wrap into the glaze. The random wrinkles created by the light brushing create a new faux leather pattern.
Use the stipple brush to create the wrinkles.
