How to paint a toucan on leather
Have you ever wanted to paint on leather but didn't know how? Maybe you want to perk up a bag or case you already have.
Look no further, I made a tutorial for you where you can see how I paint a keel-billed toucan on a leather kindle sleeve I made.

Material list options
In case you are having trouble finding the materials, here is a list of options:
- Golden Acrylic Paint

- Varnish options Liquitex and Angelus
- Masking tape
- Brushes
Optional to sew case & print:
- Thread (make sure to check what thread sizes your sewing machine is compatible with)

- Any printer will do, I use a very old Canon MG3550 printer (newer alternative)
