Stamping Faux Leather

Recommended Posts

Hi, 

I'm new on here. I'm doing a few DIY projects involving real leather and faux leather. I have a brass stamp that I use with a G clamp to stamp on the real leather and it works well. My question is in regards to the faux leather, is there a different technique to stamp faux leather? If i try and stamp with my the same technique will it rip the faux leather?

Thanks

John;

I am moving your post to the section called "How Do I Do That?" You will get better answers there. Also, this particular section is bad for discussions because all posts must await a moderator's approval before they become visible.

Faux leathers are some sort of plastic/vinyl and will not likely behave like you expect leather to.  Even veg tan versus chrome doesn't stamp the same way.

Hot foil stamping should work for faux junk.

I found this video interesting.  The same technique may work well on the faux leather you intend to use.
