DIY: Antique Gold Affect

Hey there! So I got all three of these candle holders from a garage sale for $1 (the guy just wanted to get rid of them) and I liked them but I really wanted to freshen them up and give em a new look! Hey why not for a buck?

So here's the down low...

What you'll need:

• Candle holders... or any objects in your house that is in need of a makeover
• Gold spay paint (man I love that stuff!)
• Black acrylic paint
• "Dry" paint brush

 How to:

 1. Spray on the gold spray paint outside, making sure to make nice even coats over the entire object.

 2. Make sure to turn it upside down to get those spots underneath!

 3. Then once it's dry, paint black paint with your dry brush.  You will want to put it in all the nooks and crannies - this gives it it's old vintage feel.

 4. Once it is slightly dry, wipe off the paint with a dry paper towel.  Just do it on the surface, and leave the black in the deeper areas!

Aaand.. done! Seriously. Easy as that.

 

Enjoy!

With Love,
