Types of Leather Dyes
Choose between various types of leather paint, dyes and finishes:
- Alcohol-based dyes: Alcohol-based dyes have quick-drying properties that penetrate deep into leather. They also boast vibrant colors.
- Low VOC dyes: Water-based dyes are user-friendly, nontoxic and easy to clean up. They are ideal for beginners and those who want to experiment with different colors without much mess. Available for sale in California.
- Gel dyes: Gel dyes are thicker than water-based options, giving you more control during the application.

How to Choose the Right Dye or Finish for Your Leather Project
Not all projects require a dye or finish. Some leather pieces are more attractive naturally, while others are enhanced with dye. You can use your discretion and creativity to decide which projects call for different types of dye. Consider your desired color intensity, drying time and leather compatibility.
We recommend trying different colors on scrap leather pieces to ensure you’re happy with the results before applying them to your project.
Application Tips for Dyes and Finishes
Before starting any leather crafting project, it’s crucial to prepare the leather by cleaning it. Use a cloth to remove dust from the surface, or apply a leather cleaning solution. Then use a deglazer to remove the finish on the leather, if there is one.
Use wool daubers, sponges, spray bottles or brushes to apply the dye evenly. Leather dye pens are also effective for detailing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Leather dye and fabrics are straightforward to apply, but we’ve answered some commonly asked questions below.
What Is the Best Type of Dye for Leather Crafting?
The best dye depends on your project and personal preference. Some people prefer Fiebing’s over Angelus, or vice versa, however if you live in California, make sure to go for our low VOC dyes.
How Do I Achieve an Antique Finish on My Leather Project?
Antique finish is used to enhance the embossed effect after using stamping tools. After stamping your leather item, apply the antique finish with a cloth to highlight the various indentations.
Can I Mix Different Dyes?
Yes, mixing dyes can create custom colors. Our Fiebing’s leather dye is a popular choice because it offers an array of colors that can be mixed and matched. Additionally, dye reducer can be used to reduce color intensity.
