Gold or Silver Leaf Ornate Frames!

Then took the gold leaf Rub 'n Buff and rubbed it all over the high surfaces. Rubbed or buffed it until it was shiny. I like the dark black showing through. Much more my style. The next was this fabulous resin frame. Pretty matte gray. I just used a little silver leaf and rubbed over the high places for a little shine. Then buffed it with a soft cloth. Perfect! Adds some depth! Last...white  I did these frames last month They were adorable...but knicked and cut. paint chipped.

Steampunk your Guns with Rub 'n Buff!

  This is amazing! Welcome to Rub 'n Buff week!  I just discovered Rub 'n Buff Metallic Finishes. It's like a metallic wax paint. It rubs on and buffs to a shine. Great on loads of surfaces!  Plastic, wood, metal, vinyl, foam! This takes Halloween costumes to a WHOLE new level!  I was sent 5 shades of Rub 'n Buff from AMACO I loved it so much, I went and bought 3 more tubes of it at Hobby Lobby. My husband and kids want to try it on everything!  This handgun was the first project we tried. Here's the Before:  And the after!  I used a pea sized amount of the Spanish Copper for the top half of the gun. I ended up using about double the amount pictured below.  This first job I did with my bare fingers...next time I wore latex gloves. Use in a well ventilated area, it's got a strong scent. Just rub it all around. I used a stiff disposable paint brush to get into all the grooves.  Let the wax dry about 10 minu...

Upcycled Pickle Jar and Cake Stand updo!

Upcycled/Repurposed ugly things! 2 huge pickle jars cleaned with goo gone. psss...goo gone will also take off that "best by" date thing! I had this werid knob like thing for a while... and I glued it on a lid with E6000 I also had this giant goldy butterfly heart... so I glued it on a lid... Let them dry. I painted it gray...then took it to the workshop and spray painted it metallic gun metal! Perfecto! Doesn't even smell like pickles! Painted it sparkly teal! and presto! I love how ornate these lids are now! So fun! Now...what to fill them with??? Next was this plastic cloche cheese dome thing... I glue a candlestick to the bottom. Still very blah! And then painted it my "go to" color of AQUA! Much better! Moral of the story: Glue, paint and accessories! :) Linking up to THESE parties this week! ...
