I wanted to get my hubby a metallic riveted alphabet letter for his man cave, similar to the one from my son's room, but couldn't find one.
What's a girl to do? Maker her own!
I bought a canvas letter form from Michael's using my 40% off coupon and bought a bottle of silver craft paint. Everything else I already had on hand.
- Craft alphabet letter form
- Silver craft paint
- Burnt umber craft paint
- Pearl stickers (metal push brads would work too)
- Craft glue (I used Ranger Glossy Accents)
1. Glue sticker pearls in place of rivets, let dry.
2. Paint everything silver & let dry.
3. Using burnt umber to dirty up the silver, adding more where dirt and rust are most likely to collect. Using a clean wet paint brush and drag down from rivets while the burnt umber is still wet for rusty water marks/drips.
