Metallic Rose Gold DIY iPad Holder
Posted by DecoArt on Oct 1st 2015
It's no secret that I am currently addicted to beautiful metallics right now! I have always loved silver and I have developed a recent love of gold, and I am beginning to totally crush on Rose Gold! Are you!? It is a beautiful, softer, warmer gold color that I think will really gain popularity as fall settles in. So today I am sharing how to make this beautiful Brushed Metallic Rose Gold DIY iPad Holder! And it literally only cost a few dollars to make! Seriously! Come see how!
Items Needed:
- Metallic Lustre - Rose Gold
- IPad Stand
- Rag
- Paint Brush (optional)
Instructions:
What is different about the Metallic Lustre paint is that it is more of a wax then a traditional paint, and it buffs to a shine. It dries quickly and can be used on so many surfaces! It is a really fun and easy way to add metallics into your decor and home projects.
You can use a brush if you prefer, but I found a rag to be the easiest way to apply this wax to my project. I rubbed a bit of wax all over the iPad holder and let it dry for a few seconds. Then I went back with my rag (with a clean section) and rubbed it in circular motions to create a brushed metal effect.
I let it dry completely. And then applied a second coat in the same manner. You don't need to use two coats, but I wanted to.
Here is a pretty good shot showing off the beautiful brushed metal look
Can you believe that I did this with PAINT!?!?! How cool is this!?
I can think of so many applications for this product now that I have used it. And I really do love how my brushed metallic DIY iPad Holder turned out! It is super useful and so pretty!! And I love that it adds a little bit of a beautiful metallic to my home without being too shiny or overwhelming.
