❀ About Faux Leather
Faux leather, also referred to as eco-leather or PU leather, features a durable textile base and a polyurethane surface embossed with intricate gold foil designs. Unlike other materials, it does not contain a foam middle layer, ensuring a slim yet robust structure that is easy to cut and shape. The embossed patterns include motifs such as flowers, feathers, stars, and polka dots, adding a decorative flair to any project.
✂️ Ways to Use
Gold foil embossed faux leather can be applied in various projects:
- Crafting book covers for albums, planners, diaries, and notebooks.
- Creating decorative accents for journals, greeting cards, and mixed media artwork.
- Cutting intricate shapes or tags using scissors, plotters, or die-cut machines.
- Incorporating into home décor items like framed pieces or decorative storage boxes.
- Sewing small accessories, pockets, or embellishments in scrapbooking layouts.
