How to Decorate Your Pink Leather Wallet
When you find a pink leather wallet that you like, it can be a shame to pass it up just because it's not completely up to your design specifications. If that is the case, you can decorate the wallet yourself to make sure it is exactly what you want. A tri-fold wallet will work best as it has a wider, flatter surface to work with. Not only could you have a wallet completely tailored to your preferences, but also you may have saved yourself quite a bit of time from searching for the perfect one.

Spray paint a design over the wallet. Choose a design that you like, for example, from a scrap of lace or a chain-link fence pattern. Place the chosen pattern over the outside of the opened wallet, then use black acrylic spray paint to spray over the pattern to create the design on the wallet. Leave the wallet open flat in a cool, dry place and give it plenty of time to dry before you move or touch it.

Put monogramming on the outside of the wallet. You can purchase the letters in almost every color and style you wish from a craft store. Use a strong fabric glue to adhere the letters to the wallet. Make sure to pay close attention to the outside edges of the monogramming to avoid having them curl up.

Place black fabric pieces on the inside of the wallet to add contrast against the pink wallet. Cut the fabric into two thin vertical pieces, then use fabric glue to adhere them to the two folds on the inside of the wallet. Press them down, especially along the edges. Leave the wallet open until the pieces dry.

Put pink, tinted photographs in the wallet. Choose a few of your favorite photos that you want to carry around. Use a photo editing program to shrink the photos down to the size of the plastic photograph inserts. Next, use the program to change the color of the photos from normal to pink so they match the wallet. They are not only portable memories, but can serve as décor as well.

Adhere black crystals onto the zipper pulls and snaps. If they are not self-adhesive, use glue to put them on. Put on the crystals one-by-one using tweezers instead of your fingers to keep a tighter grasp on them. Cover the entire area of the flat part of the snap or zipper pull.
