I’ve seen what other bloggers have done with it, but not tried it myself until now. I an usually able to get the multi-layered colors effect I want simply by painting and sanding. Old gold frames (wood OR plastic) are really easy to do that way. Just paint them black and lightly sand for the gold to show through.
But recently I decided to paint these little resin urns black, to go with the Paris apartment look I am trying to create in our antique mall space. They just didn’t look ‘right’ when I sanded them.
I love black and white, but these just weren’t doing it for me. Time to break out the tube of Rub n Buff!
It really takes only the TINIEST bit. Spreads on like SILK, but you have to work fast because it dries almost instantly. I just used my finger and smoothed it over the raised areas where I had sanded.
This was EXACTLY what these urns needed! Love they way they turned out.
I added some moss and a robins egg blue egg to a couple of them. NOW, what else can I use this Rub n Buff on?!?!? It’s rather addictive!
