I had been immediately filled with inquiries on where I discovered red-colored Birkenstock UK Outlet Shops Seres. I didn't "discover" them, I shaded them. For those of you within the know, Birkenstock only introduced the Seres in brown and black leather. Needless to say, folks asked for tutorials on just how to get this done.

 

I employed Tarrago shoe lotion to coloration my Birkenstocks. Color cream is relatively cheap, there are tons of colours to choose from, you can actually implement, it dries out easily, and contains a very high pigment articles and yes it spots leather very well.

 

My believe would be to stain a set of brownish leather Seres an in-depth burgundy. I had three diverse hues of red-colored Tarrago cream during my resource container. ​

 

I used a dollop of every shade on the bottom from the Seres strap and let it dried up. From past shading practical experience, I knew that whatever shade was in the package would convert a shade or two dark-colored after it dried out on the light brown leather foundation. I wanted to get a hard notion of which color of red would be that that i was looking for. I picked the Morello Cherry shade just for this undertaking.
