Hello crafty friends
Would you like to learn how to make things look rusty without buying expensive products? I bet you do so you can spend more money on paper pads.
First of all you will need some powder cinnamon and any orange and brown acrylic paint. I used Docrafts Artiste for this tutorial.
Now we add a blob of each colour onto a palette
Mix the colours together adding more brown for a darker look if needed
Apply mixture to mdf. I use it on the cogs from Things to Alter
Sprinkle on the powdered cinnamon while paint is wet
Paint over the powder
Layer up the cinnamon powder to create a more rusted look and leave some cinnamon unpainted to create different tones.
Here is the finished item which can be dry brushed with another colour to create depth.
Some more steampunk bits
