Rusty Treasures and Fun Ideas

 Rusty Treasures.

Yep, this is a pile of 'stuff' that I used the rust/patina formula on.
Rust and Patina How To Here

Some of these were new in the package, (like the little latch toward the top).

Some were used. All were metal, but assorted kinds of metals.

The watch case on the right was brass, thus the beautiful patina blue.

The thimble turned a bit blue also.

also, thimble, right below latch. Can you see it?

It started to turn a bit blue.....

Here are some pieces I am getting ready to do.

Will show you when they are done.

 

  

 fun idea

an old wire basket.

I think it is about 18" across, and not very deep

It was hung on a blank wall,

 with some clip boards hanging in it, and a book on the shelf.

(Just the beginning of a cute display.)

Will fluff some fabric around, and maybe hang some old keys in there too.

what did I use to hang them up there with??

See the picture above....the weird kind of really rusty thingy on the bottom?

Do you recognize it???

It is an old drapery hook.

You know, we used to hang those big heavy drapes with them?
(it is upside down here)

They are perfect for hanging things over a piece of wire, and

easy to find at garage sales. I have a whole bag of them!!!

Who would think????  =)

(OOOH!! I'm getting another idea for them!!)

Cost of my project:
basket  $15.00 
Rusty hooks....guess  5 cents each.
clipboards/book etc...already had.

Thanks for the visit.

Be Blessed
