Treasure Chest Painting
Here is a step by step guide to achieving the rusty effect. We have used our
Treasure chest, you can of course use this technique for any of your projects.
Once you have glued and allowed to dry, your treasure
chest is ready for embellishing and painting.
If you have other embellishments that you want to glue
on, now is the time before we get to painting. Use a
good gel medium to add resin pieces as normal glue
won’t hold as well, and glue from a glue gun will
eventually shear off and it is too brittle when hard. I have
added some resin embellishments that come with the kit.
Once the pieces are dry. We used an old paintbrush
preferably one with fairly stiff bristles. We painted on
texture paste in lines to indicate a wood effect. Keep
adding texture paste until you get the desired effect. Do
all sides and the lid.
To get the deeper lines we have just used the back of the
paint brush to scrape in some lines to indicate planks.
