A facebook group got me wanting to alter my mom's old ones but I have no idea where to start, your videos are so helpful!

[@JenSeaglassSeeker]

We can't wait to see what you create! Be sure to share it with us in our Altered Moments Facebook group :)

Just what I needed! I'm looking forward to altering a piece that would require me to remove a cast bonnet (Calendar girl-December). Because of the way it wraps around the head,would you recommend combining both methods? The diamond wheel plus sanding? Thanks in advance!

[@chicaandjo]

That sounds like a great approach. Use the wheel to take off big chunks, but if you get nervous working close to the head, switch to the grinding stone so you get a smoother finish without nicks. Would love to see your finished piece -- make sure you post in our Facebook group!

Do you alter garden statues? I have one that I want to restore or alter.

[@chicaandjo]

I haven’t tried that before but sounds like a fun way for you to give it new life!

I have a drill for doing nails, would this work as well?

[@chicaandjo]

I have heard from some of our group members that rotary tools designed for fingernails can work as well, but I don't have experience using them. I can say that the bit you use is far more important than the tool, and I definitely recommend diamond-coated wheels and burrs. amazon.com/shop/chicaandjo

I just got the THE LORD IS YOUR LIGHT TO HAPPINESS but the girls candle broke off, Could you please tell me what kind of glue I should use to attach it back on? Thank you :)

[@chicaandjo]

I use E6000 for most gluing but super glue works well too!
