Fake Your Own Antiques

Rating:
Summary: ideal for crafts enthusiast
Review: This book explains how to give objects an antique-looking appearance (leaning more toward the 'shabby chic' look). There are over 36 projects with lots of color photos. Projects often involve making paper, concrete, and wood appear aged. There is stenciling, tile stamping, and decoupage. Among the book's projects, these are just several: restoring fireplaces, decoupaging a water can, gilding picture frames, aging a manuscript, aging concrete backyard ornaments, and creating a pickled oak look on a wooden box. Each project lists the materials you'll need and provides step-by-step instructions.
