Rusting Fabric MIni Series. Pt 1

HI everyone,
following on from the little embroideries I've been doing of late on rusted fabric I thought I'd show you the two methods I use to create my rusted fabric backgrounds.
So this is part one in the three part mini series.
Pt. 1 (this video) covers what you will need to create your own rust dyed fabrics and a couple of other considerations to bare in mind.
Pt.2 covers the 'vinegar' method, as I call it. This method uses nothing but household products and is quick and easy to do.The end results are more vibrant in colour than those I tend to get with method I show in pt.3 but whether you use this method or that one really depends on the look and finish you want to achieve.
Pt.3 covers the 'Bright' method. It involves a rust dye formula that I buy ( details given in the description box below that video). The results using this method are fabulous, muted fawn and mushroom in colour but shot through with the bright orange from the rusting...just beautiful.
Enjoy.

[@sandysasha9239]

I am looking forward to watching the next video.😀

[@oakhousejournals]

Hi Sandy, glad you're liking the mini series. Hugs C xx

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

You were recommended by one of my viewers and I’m so glad that she did! I love rusting metal and never thought of doing it on fabrics! Thank you thank you thank you! This will be perfect for the journal I’m working on so I cannot wait to watch the next two videos and get to rusting ❤️🥰

[@oakhousejournals]

HI Sherri, it works on paper too but you have to be careful because for obvious reasons the paper is fragile when damp but also it's difficult to rise and can have a vinegar smell afterwards. So glad you liked the tutorials though. Hugs C xx

[@marybarratt2649]

I love grunging up fabric and use the salt and vinegar method in the main, plus tea. Love the bright results that you show, so will give that a go. It actually makes a relaxing change from stitching and journaling. Love your embroideries. Tfs

[@oakhousejournals]

Hi Mary, thanks for the lovely comment. It's great hearing about new ideas ( new to me that is) and giving them a try. I've not heard of the salt & vinegar method so will be looking that up now and experimenting. Have a wonderful day. Hugs C xx

[@annalba]

This is going to be exciting, I have lot of rusty bits I keep pinching from my hubby's work shop, I am now looking at my Farther in law's work room. I love your Fabrics. Take care.

[@oakhousejournals]

Hi Ann, that comment had me chuckling. I was had my lovely neighbour looking out old rusted bits of metal for me too.... sure he thought I'd finally lost my marbles....lol. Enjoy giving this a try. Hugs C xx

[@leannegordon7439]

Great results - now for the 'how to' ...

[@oakhousejournals]

Honestly, you'll watch anything.....lol. Go find a good TV series to watch! Hugs C xx

[@leannegordon7439]

@@oakhousejournals ha ha ha ... actually, 'someone' recently put me onto a good series that has me totally hooked! ... weird at times, but very intriguing. Any guesses???

[@oakhousejournals]

Obviously someone with very weird viewing taste.... lol. C xx

[@ruhmaraziq2949]

I tried to create impressions with rusted nails on fabric, but it only results in the form of rusted outline of those objects and the whole inner part didn't get the rust just like the first sample of your work with the ring shape impressions. So, what's the reason of creating that negative space

[@karenholst8306]

👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰

[@vivienblignaut7959]

Has anyone tried Iron Oxide? A cheap raw material available from any potter supplier, I t is used to give ceramics a brown colour in the firing process.

[@oakhousejournals]

Hi Vivian, I certainly haven't used it for this purpose but it's worth a try. Let me know how you get on trying it. Hugs C xx

[@KimWilsonTV]

not all metals rust

[@oakhousejournals]

Hi Kim, I appreciate do that but I give plenty of examples in the video of the types of items I have tried and tested and found to work well. This whole process is about trying and using what you have and no rusting session gives the same results as last time you did it, despite using the same method and pieces of metal... that's what makes it so fascinating to do.
