Shiny on a Dime: DIY Rub and Buff Tutorial

[@created2bless322]

I just watched the mason jar video and my ears perked up for the upteenth time when I heard homemade rub and buff......Your jar is super cute, thank you for the tips and tricks too. I think you should be linking this video when you use the rub and buff so more can see it! Im blown away and I diy art supplies too, love this way to use my mica's and eyeshadows!!!

I just found this channel and video and am so thankful! I wanted to make some Christmas items but all the diy tutorials said to use rub n buff! It is so expensive for one small tube! After watching i got shoe polish and and the powder for less than $5 and it works just as well! You are completely right she should link it because none of the videos said there was any kind of alternative!

THIS is the type of DIY craft I LOVE. Hacking my way to a “cost effective” version is my fav past time!!! OMG the $$$ you have saved me!!!!

[@blessingscrafttherapy]

I would suggest a bit of clear Elmer's glue as a bonding agent so it adheres a bit longer. If you have trouble, heat it with a doubler boiler or wax melter.

Oh that’s a great tip! Thank you!

[@christinestevenson4304]

I just started to get into crafting and i went to purchase rub n buff, it was very expensive. So i came home and googled how to make homemade rub n buff and your channel was at the top! And thank you for that! I got a pack of 60 packets of mica powder on amazon for $3.00 and clear shoe polish for $1.00! The colors and out beautiful and the craft products look just as amazing as the items produced with store bought rub n buff! For over $5.00 less than one small tube!

Question after you rub it on whatever surface should we deal it so it won't rub off? If it rub off. Thanks

This is so cool! This gives me hope for all my purple eyeshadow I'm allergic to but just can't "throw away." ❤ Gonna get some shoe polish tomorrow and make some. 😊

Oh wow, the bunny was so pretty. All the colors were beautiful. I am going to change the color of the frames in my home because most of them are dark wood. I need some brightness.

[@smac3662]

I love this hack. But, would it be easier to mix by melting the wax into a liquid? Either scoop into a glass container & microwave it 30 second at a time while mixing; or setting tin on a flat pan over the stove. Use pliers to lift can from pan though.

[@blessingscrafttherapy]

Hmmm I didn’t think of that…perhaps it would work!

[@SouthernCharmaine]

This is fantastic Collette‼️🤩😱 I feel like craft supplies can often be SO expensive. So I really appreciate any n all hacks n short cuts n DIY’s we can do ourselves❣️😊💜💜💜 Question: Does it smell? I know back in the day shoe polish had a pretty strong odor to it. Thank you SO very much for sharing‼️💐🌼🌸🌹🌻🌺🌷

[@nbalbano]

This is amazing. I wish I saw this before I checked out the carnauba wax.

[@blueshoes915]

Thank you! Do you have to use brown or black shoe polish? Could you use white or clear?

[@blessingscrafttherapy]

You can use any color shoe polish

This rub n buff grabbed me too. Now, I am a subscriber. I love your "short" version on KZbin as well as this version. BTW, how would I make silver rub n buff? Thanks--you brighten my day.

Would this work on etched glass?

[@monevawalker1676]

Does it work on etched glass

[@blessingscrafttherapy]

Ooooh that’s a great question! I’m not sure! I’ll have to try it and see!

[@MjYero-ef7dr]

How to make it gold? Ty

[@stephencraig7130]

You could use clear shoe polish, I would think...
