Easy Painted Leather Wallet DIY
Gold Chevron, Stripes, & Dots






An easy way to update a simple wallet, clutch or small leather good... or simply to add your own personality and individuality to it. It's easy and quick and the design is only dependent upon your imagination!


What You'll Need...



* Leather or faux leather wallet {Mine is a Christopher Kon Double Zip Wallet in coral from GILT}
* Sharpie metallic paint pen {I used gold}
* Painter's tape


Steps...



* Rip or cut your painter's tape into strips.


* Using the original edge of the tape, create your stripes {or any design you like}.


* Create a chevron design with small pieces of tape angled into triangles.


* Fill in the blank spaces with your Sharpie paint pen, let dry and remove your tape.


* Hand paint your dots or your design of choice. Let dry... it dries quickly actually.



Voila!








Have Fun!

That is a great idea and use for Sharpies. Do you know if the Sharpie tends to wear off over time? Sometimes I find that it does with the silver version.
