Hey guys,
I'm not at all a leather worker, I just want to modify my leather messenger bag. I want to make it look a bit more urban, so I was wondering if I could stencil on some logos from vinyl stickers. I was thinking of using a towel and a ScotchBrite pad to scuff up the leather a bit and take away a bit of the color and make it a shade or two lighter/less vibrant. Maybe even lay it in the sun a bit. Then I would apply the stickers, and then apply shoe/leather polish/dyes, gradually darkening the leather around the stickers. The result would hopefully be a natural looking branding.
