you will find a template that you can save to your computer to help make the template for the holes in the bottom of the bell.
Today I have the 2020 version of my Giant Sleigh Bells made from Dollar Tree Mixing Bowls!
2018 was the original video • Christmas Giant Sleigh...
2019 was the galvanized metal paint finish version • Faux Galvanized Sleigh...
And this year I wanted to make one closest to my original inspiration that started it all back in 2018, a metal bell with peeling paint and rusty spots.
I tried many methods, painting, adding cinnamon, even bought a special kit, and nothing worked.
So this year, yes I’ve been working on this since last year, I did a lot of research, watched a lot of KZitem videos, read a lot of blogs and it wasn’t until I discovered Van Oaks Props, I called it the wrong name in the video, a senior moment, that I found what I needed!
He has the best channel for paint effects, made for big items like Halloween props but they can work for us small time crafters too.
His channel is / vanoaksprops @vanoaksprops
The two videos I combined techniques from were • Rusted Metal Paint Eff... Rusted Metal look and
• Simple Cracked & Chipp... Cracked and Chipped paint, this technique I knew and had tried before on a “faux birch wood logs” project but his video inspired me to add it to his other technique and they worked great for the look I wanted. I tried the rusted metal technique in full, using the hairspray and water method but on my plastic surface (I think that was the issue anyway) I couldn’t get it to work, believe me I tried multiple times, most likely user error 😉
Anyway, the two techniques combined worked and I really hope you love the results as much as I do.
