Making ACTUALLY GOOD Kombucha leather (part 1)

This DIY vegan leather alternative has been the talking point of many YouTube tutorials and social media, even though the results never were much more than an afternoon fun project... In this video, I tackle something many people have tried, but never got any good quality, long-lasting results... Kombucha Leather! In the beginning of the video, I first discuss why vegan leather is becoming more and more desirable and why making kombucha leather might be a great alternative to conventional leather. I then document my method and explain how one could do it on their own. Later, I showcase the finished product, discuss the challenges and flaws still needing to be fixed and how I plan to make this a Youtube series for this channel. I also suggest possible uses for this amazing bio-material, such as wallets, coin purses and even cosplay!
