Thanks for saying that. Sometimes I think I should say more, but I like giving what you need and not wasting your time. But because of that I can't tell a joke to save my life!
Excellent tutorial. I sculpt in steel and many of my pieces are force rusted. Not sure if you rusted the blades or not but I've found mixing vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and salt works best for me. I also found out by accident - you get different colors of rust using sea salt compared to regular table salt.
Great info! I tried making rusty-water a while back with rusty nails and vinegar water, heavy on the vinegar. Instead of rusting, I ended up with cleaned up nails - NO RUST to be seen! LOL! I grew up when rust and peeling paint were to be avoided at all costs so it is fascinating to actually try to get rusty! I have discovered a few things in the garden with the metal detector - some large rusty washers and something so corroded that I have no idea what it was. I need to try the hydrogen peroxide with the vinegar water! :D
katpaints, yes vinegar can be used to rust and can be used as a rust remover, crazy isn't it. Be careful with the hydrogen peroxide, you only need a little bit. I tried using it but obviously I used too much, it ate holes in my fabric.
@@AngieEKnowlesTextileArtistry Good to know! I know that it is a powerful bleach on hair so it doesn't surprise me that it ate your fabric. I don't know that I would have thought about that without the reminder, though!
@@AngieEKnowlesTextileArtistry yeah... I had my favorite pants do that back in the 60s! I stood up after a meeting and the seat was gone! They were my favorites, until they were no more! Fortunately it was a meeting in the barracks where I lived and it was mostly women there.... Lol
This was so helpful, especially the part about handling fragile papers. I know my next batch of rusted papers will be better because of you sharing your experiences.
Very cool! You are an excellent teacher, Miss Angie! I do have one question: When fabric or paper is treated like this, do we have to worry about the rusty effects transferring to a final project it is used on and deteriorating it? Thank you.
Hi Deb C and thanks for the sweet compliment. If it is rinsed well, the rust will not transfer to other fabrics. But rust will deteriorate the paper and fabrics, however it takes a long time. That is unless you have a real heavy deposit of rust.
nan's nook, yes I do rust the blades myself. I live in Florida and anything left outside will rust. But you can start with metal that is not rusted. Following the instructions in the video, the vinegar and moisture will cause it to rust. It may take longer for the fabric to rust, but it will eventually happen. Just keep checking and keeping it moist until it is rusted the way you want.
Great idea! I like the look it hives. Did you have to rust your metals first? I don't think I have any rusted tools around the house. After adding baking soda, do you rinse your filters afterwards? Don't they smell like vinegar if you don't rinse them out? Just wondering. I've never done this. Tfs GOD Bless
Thank you. You don't need to rust the metal first, but it does help the fabric rust faster. And you don't need to do another rinse after the baking soda. It does smell like vinegar, but the smell goes away fairly quickly. Let me know if you try it and how it works out.
What a great tutorial, so well done and easy to understand, thank you so much for making it and for sharing with us =)
Merete Hov, thank you. So glad you found it easy to understand.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial ❤️

You are welcome Nancy. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for an excellent tutorial! You are really good at explaining your process.
Thanks! I really love teaching so this is great encouragement for me.
Thanks. I also love rust dying and am interested in how other artists approach it.
I hope you were able to pick up a few tips.
I love how simple your method is and the art behind you is stunning. Old saw blades are perfect for rust dying too. Thanks for giving me ideas to try.
Thank you Danielle. I hope you enjoy this process as much as I do.
Love this! Great concise and informative
Thank you Diane. I like to keep things short, sweet but informative.
Just came across this. Thank you for such a clear and concise tutorial.
Thank you Christy. I work hard at making my tutorials easy to understand, and so happy you think it was.
Love this Angie!
Thanks Cole. It was a challenge but Im happy with how it turned out.
I like your tutorial, straight to point, precise.
Thanks for saying that. Sometimes I think I should say more, but I like giving what you need and not wasting your time. But because of that I can't tell a joke to save my life!
Looking forward to seeing what you do with the coffee filters!
So do I Jeanne, so do I! LOL!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it

I bet your pieces are beautiful. I do use that formula to rust new metal, but luckily here in Florida it doesn't take long for anything to rust.
Thanks. It would be cool to see how you made the artwork on the wall behind you, with blue and brown.
Thank you, Lyre, I will make a video showing that process.
Great video. Thanks for explaining why you do each step. I'm looking forward to trying this!
I am so glad you enjoyed it. Would love to know that you tried it and how it came out.

Perfect tutorial & highly informative -
You do know that rust never sleeps.
@@hapijen4828 I know, but I love it anyway.
Did u rust the blades yourself? If u did, how did u do it. If not where do I find rust items? Thanks so much. Enjoyed very much.

Then do you use that dyed coffee filter as a dyer?
Lisa, I'm not sure I understand your question? Do you mean in the dryer for clothes?
Thanks for watching. Leave me a comment if you found this tutorial helpful and if you have any questions.
Very helpful! Thank you very much.
