I just take one of the wool swabs that comes with the dye, dip it and run it how ever I want the streaks. I don't try to get it smooth and do it when the leather is dry. I use lighter colors because I oil finish my sheaths and the tend to get a bit darker. I think I saw it first in Robtattoo's tutorial on crossdraw sheaths.
