Re-Enameling Classic Jewellery

Re-Enameling Classic Jewellery

More than the a long time, I have acquired quite a few pieces of classic jewelry that has some dress in to the enamel. Quite a few of these items were being relegated to my jewelry box, wherever I could not deliver myself to toss absent or have on. It was not until eventually I acquired an exciting classic Xmas brooch that an individual experienced by now repainted but in rather a gaudy eco-friendly, that the plan of re-enameling arrived to head. So off I went to the huge craft store in town and edged my way as a result of the males obtaining little pots of enamel paint for their model troopers and autos.

I now invest in my tiny pots from a neighborhood model store and so much I have been the only lady in there! But do not allow this set you off. The enamel pots are not just available in Khaki and military brown but brilliant gloss colors that are great for jewelry. Gather your paints, brushes, kitchen paper and newspaper with each other very first

Clean up the jewelry that you want to paint and make it possible for to dry. Use a just damp cotton wool bud for this.

Lay onto a piece of newspaper or a piece of kitchen area towel

Make positive you are not smoking as the paint is flammable and use in a properly ventilated place

Use small craft paint brushes and wipe soon after wards on a towel.

When opened, stir the paint nicely just before use and a minimal goes a very long way.

Paint the location and allow for to dry, then paint again – gives a great color that lasts for a longer period

Possibly match the initial paint and you may possibly have to mix diverse paints to match the color

Or you can experiment and paint new shades to be slightly more contemporary

Experiment on some junk jewelry to start with right before heading to paint a additional pricey piece nevertheless

A fantastic way to recycle jewelry that has tiny chips or the plate has worn. But be careful it can be addictive

Have enjoyable!
