Easy rusted hanging hearts using Infusions and Rusting Powder by PaperArtsy

Watch how I change the look of some shabby chic metal heart decorations into rusty, grungy heart throbs with the bonus of some great rusty kitchen roll paper to use in other projects.
You will need...
items to alter, mine were metal hearts
Gel medium, I used Liquitex matt gel medium
Rusty Car and Green Man Infusions and Rusting powder, all by PaperArtsy
Black gesso, I used Art Basics by Prima
Cheap white vinegar
Kitchen Roll /paper towel
Silver metallic wax, I used Art Alchemy by Prima
Water, paint brushes, glass mat or craft mat
Don't worry if you don't have all these supplies, just substitute whatever you have that's similar.
****Be sure to be in a well ventilated room when using rusting powder and vinegar and wear gloves if you have any concerns about using metallic wax on your fingers****

Just a question... Does the paper not stick to the ornament when drying? I always just flick the vinegar on and put the ornament in a container with a lid. It will stay moist then. With the cotton-swab you also take rusty powder off I think.
AND.. these waxes are very toxic, I would not apply it with a finger.. it will get into your bloodstream :)

[@magswoodcock]

Hi Ellie, thank you for your queries and comment. I didn't find the paper stuck at all, as you could see in the video it came straight off. The cotton bud did move a little of the rusting powder but not a significant amount and I think the project turned out ok anyway. The waxes are meant to be applied with your fingers, Finnabair the designer always applies them with her fingers. I don't think Prima would recommend us to do anything harmful. They are beeswax based. Thank you so much for your concern though. I guess we all have our different ways of working don't we. Where I live it takes a long time for things to dry so a container isn't necessary, but if it works for you and your climatic conditions then great. Happy crafting 😊
