making an old wallet look new again
I’ve had this yellow wallet for years, and since I bought a new one recently, old yellow is not really getting any use. So I grabbed some of my trusty textile paint and got to work.

Step 1
Clean your wallet as best you can with a little soap and water (or leather cleaner). And choose your color combo. I picked red-orange and fuchsia textile paint and decided at the last minute to keep a pop of the original yellow as well.
-
Step 2Next, it’s time to grab your paint brush and paint away. Pay close attention to even strokes and don’t be afraid to layer up! I ended up painting at least three coats of the red since it’s a bright color and I wanted it to really pop.
-
Step 3Choose an area for your accent color (optional). My wallet had a natural place to add my accent color, find yours if you want it to look like you bought it that way.
-
Step 4If you want to share your artistic side, choose a less expected area for your accent color – maybe a fun shape or stripes.
