@alejaflorezart | Alejandra Florez
I started painting since I was a little girl, because my family on my father's side are very artistic, they make pottery clay and everything related to art. So since I was little I was instilled with this love that has been growing with me since I was a child, I am currently studying visual arts, and I create artistic content on social media, where I customize all kinds of materials and stuff, because I feel that absolutely everything, can have our artistic touch.

How to Paint Custom Leather Headphone Case
Step 1: Prep the Leather for Paint
Before painting, it’s important to remove the factory finish so the paint adheres properly.
- Use Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer to remove the factory finish and clean the leather. This step is essential for a long-lasting custom piece!
- Make sure to go over the entire surface 3-5 times and let it dry fully before painting.

- Make sure to go over the entire surface 3-5 times and let it dry fully before painting.

Step 2: Apply Your Base Colors
With the leather prepped, start by laying down smooth base coats.
- Choose your main background color(s) and apply 2-5 thin, even layers of Angelus Leather Paint.
- Allow each layer to dry before adding the next to keep the finish smooth and vibrant.

Step 3: Add Details & Design Elements
Once the base coat is set, it’s time to bring the design to life.
- Use fine detail brushes for patterns, shapes, or custom graphics.
- Alejandra carefully builds up her design, layering colors to create contrast and depth.
- Work slowly and keep lines clean for the best results.

Step 4: Seal It In & Protect Your Art
To make sure the design holds up as long as possible, use a finisher!
Use: Any of the Angelus 4-Coat finishers. Flat, Matte, Satin, or High Gloss, depending on your desired finish.
This final coat protects the paint from scratches and keeps colors looking fresh.

Customize every surface and materials like clothes, canvas, shoes, and even a fridge!
1. All the acrylic paints because they’re the best in all the markets, the quality is soo good and I love how bright they are.
2. The shoe cleaner, it’s the best for cleaning all kind of shoes, it’s a 10/10
3. The 2-Soft medium, because it makes the acrylics even better for painting on fabrics
4. The 2-Hard medium, because it helps a lot if I want to customize a bottle or any hard surface
5. Suede and Nubuck Kit, works perfectly for cleaning the shoes
Don't be afraid to try to create on new surfaces, don't be afraid to suddenly damage the things you are doing (custom clothes; shoes; canvas, etc) many times nothing comes out as we expect at the beginning, but it is because in the end something better will come out, always trust your intuition and your artistic spirit.
