Do you have home decor elements that are drab lacking a personality and punch? Well, there’s an easy way to change all that! With Modern Masters Metal Effects Kit, you can easily transform any home decor element into a thing of lasting beauty.
Let me know show you how I was able to turn my drab home decor elements into the perfectly pretty pieces I adore!
It all starts with their kit.
Metal Effects Kits: These oxidizing finish kits transform any paintable surface in minutes. Choose a green patina, blue patina, or rust finish. Each kit includes full instructions and covers up to 2 sq. ft. Just right for small projects.
You can transform any paintable surface into a beautiful patina finish in minutes. This kit includes primer, oxidizing copper paint and a green patina aging solution with a spritzer cap.
I still have over a half of these paints, and I completed three small projects already!
I have a pair (or had) of black plain candle holders – I really loved the shape and size of them and knew I could turn them into beautiful pieces that have personality and pops of color! This kit is super easy to use too and another reason I love it!
As you can see below, these candle holders were, well, just plain boring.
The process is super easy too! Everything you need is in one kit.
It’s as easy as stir and paint!
I have my three pieces all prepped and ready to dry. I decided to paint a vase as well. The candlestick holders are made of wood and the vase is glass. You can patina any paintable surface!
Below, you can see it turning before your eyes. This piece was still in the drying process.
Now, I have created beautiful home decor elements that have personality and pops of color too!
I didn’t spray the activator with a heavy hand because, personally, I love the bronze patina finish too and wanted to be sure there was enough of it showing. They recommend against spraying with a heavy hand.
I love how the colors in my table pick up and accentuate the tones in the patina finish!
Using this kit has made such a huge difference in my home decor elements. If I had to buy patina candle holders it would have cost me a fortune! I saved money doing it myself.
I also decided to paint a vase as I mentioned above. Look at how stunning this turned out. Here’s a close up of how it looked before.
And now look at how perfectly patina it is!
I also transformed my lamp using this patina kit too – be sure you check out that post as well. I am in love with the results!
I have lots more photos of the process so PLEASE stop by my blog for more instruction and images too! I'd love to see you there!
