Tepte

Match the leather dye kit to the color of your leather sofa if you want to retain its original color. You can also dye it another color, if desired.

Prepare the area before you begin. Lay newspapers around the border of the couch, or set a painter's dropcloth beneath the couch to protect flooring or carpeting.

Make certain that you apply the dye to all cracks, seams and piping thoroughly. You may need to turn the couch over to get all sides.

After waiting 48 hours, you can apply more coats of dye if you want to deepen the color. But pay attention as the leather dries, as it darkens during the drying process.

You can use these same products on other leather products in the home, including shoes and handbags.
