Jewelry For Your Furniture
If you wear jewelry, why not your furniture too?
Here’s a unique and creative way to dress up the hardware on your furniture!
I got a old spiral notebook with the metal loops and tin snips.
Pick out what mould you’d like to use. I used Iron Orchid Designs air dry clay and mould for mine.
Cut a piece of the spiral notebook.
Cut one to fit the back side of your mould.
Bend the ends together to create and oval/circle shape.
Place the open ends in the back of the mould. Be careful not to push it all the way through. But enough to almost poke through.
Allow enough room for your string or ribbon to go through.
Sit the mould out on wax paper and let it dry completely.
Once dried. Paint how you’d like! I used DIY paint and finishes. But you can use acrylic or any chalk paint! I also sealed the back with a clear patina.
Add whatever ribbon, string or yarn you’d like! And there you have it, jewelry for your furniture!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Hi there! Love the idea of creating this. How durable is the piece? I was working with a school smart school supplier of air dry clay and I was testing it...bit down and a piece broke off. Disappointing.
What could I use for durability?
Thank you

Did you use the same brand clear patina as the paint? Is the clear patina what gives them the colors? I hate spending extra money on things that I can do myself and up until now I’ve just been painting a bronze base, painting over it with a teal color and immediately wiping back, allowing some of the bronze to show through. If there’s any areas I think I’ve taken too much from, I just add a bit back. After that dries, I hit the high points with gold leaf or gold wax, using my finger.
It does seem like everyone’s jumping on the patina medium bandwagon though! Maybe it’s time!
