Fabulous trick to repair synthetic leather of jackets, bags, shoes and furniture

By Lesia

Lately, synthetic leather does not come with the same quality as before. We can see this when we buy something made of this material and it wears out or gets a bad appearance. When we see this we are disappointed and surely want to get rid of the garment quickly.

Before you throw away that garment, let me tell you that there is a very effective homemade solution to repair or renew synthetic leather. We simply have to follow the procedure step by step and only with that, your garment will look like new.

Necessary materials

  • Fabric paint (the paint has to be the same color as the fabric)
  • White glue
  • 2 Brushes

Procedure, step by step

1- To begin, we have to put a little white glue on the worn area and, with the help of a brush, spread it evenly. We wait a few minutes until the glue is completely dry. Then, we put another layer of glue.

2- Once it is dry, with the other brush we are going to paint it gently, until we obtain an even and uniform color.

And that’s it, now we wait for the paint to dry, and you will see that the synthetic leather is like new!

Recommendations and tips:

1- When we have a worn or damaged leather jacket, we have to apply moisturizing cream before applying the procedure. The idea is to hydrate the fabric well so that it does not crack later in the area we fix.

Now, if it is scratches or scratches, simply apply the textile paint.

2- If the vinyl lifts over time, you just have to fill it with glue and carefully attach it to the jacket until it is uniform. It’s okay if you have to repeat the procedure several times to get it right.

3- We recommend using some oil, especially when we notice that it begins to crack. It is normal for this to happen, since UV rays can damage the fabric a lot, although this depends on the length of time it is exposed.

4- We can also prevent cracking by using leather conditioner. This product can be used on any type of leather, whether synthetic or special.
