Also, you will not be able to get a bright yellow with dye. You can certainly get a more even dye job with the above tips, but unless you use paint, the color will be close to what you have.

I don’t know why I’m not getting notifications of replies so I’m just now seeing these. Thanks for your help!

The best way to get an even coverage is with an airbrush (even the cheapies used for cake decorating or face/body painting) should work.

Just saying.:)

I’m going to look into that & try it next time! Thank you!

Keep in mind that a darker color will cover a lot of sins, even if it is not black.  Maybe you want it to be a "happy" color.  You might try a yellow-orange or yellow-green tint.

Thank you!!!

I was actually able to salvage it! It’s not perfect by any means but it was made with love! I used Chicago screws so I can take the binder part out & line with velvet. I’m almost done ! Thank you all for all your time & tips!

That came out great!

I really like the way the dye colour eventually turned out, and the paint colours are wonderful.

Came out pretty good!  What did you do to get it to this point?

Thanks! I tried to wipe done the darker areas with alcohol but that didn’t really work. I ended up using a piece of sponge to add more dye to the lighter areas & buffing really well with an old tshirt. I’d let dry them repeat a few times.

That looks great! The leather has a texture to the colour, it should age well.
