Solution:
Antiqued gold home accessories are beautiful, but they can
be pricey. Well I can show you how to take a yard sale
find and make it into a masterpiece.
 TIP 1: Gently sand the item that you're planning to
paint to get rid of any rough spots. Then wipe it clean
with a tack cloth to get rid of any residue.
TIP 2: Brush a couple of coats of gold paint onto
the frame and allow it to dry.
TIP 3: Once the paint is dry you may want to scuff
it up a little with some fine sandpaper to give it a time
worn feeling, use your judgment on how much is enough for
your piece.
TIP 4: Grab a clean brush and some dark varnish.
TIP 5: Lightly brush the stain over the surface
letting a good amount of paint show through. You may need
to wipe some off in certain areas to achieve the look you
want. When you're finished with the varnish simply allow
to dry. |
