Things to Alter Rust Technique Mini Tutorial

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
