hello, i have some cheap chrome tanned leather that i would like to turn into some leather moneybags

but i would like to buy a money sign stamp and stamp and emboss the leather on the front of the bag

so i searched on youtube and found this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NeNF0oWncY&t=78s

and he says that you want "vegetable tanned leather" but i know that the leather i have is cheap garbage chrome tanned leather but ye doesn't say what i should do in that situation

just wanted to ask here if i can successfully stamp cheap chrome tanned leather and what the best way to do that is, thank you

The  only way I know is hot stamping. The tradition way of stamping only works with veg tan.

This article may help.

Or if you have a GREAT way to exhaust the fumes, you could laser engrave it.

i don't know what that is and i don't have a laser lying around

do i have any other options?

Good luck my friend.

 

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

you can airbrush it with some acrylic, then seal it.

You can.  I have done it.  But with a press rated at 1.25 ton. More tonnage would be better
