STEAMPUNK fun Jewelry Cabinet makeover

Woo-hoo this was fun! Never gave anything a rusted metal finish before. Usually, I try to restore pieces like that but, this attempt at steampunk was so fun I hope to do it again. I have also never tried adhering air dry clay to furniture or anything else for that matter but it will not be my last time.
Note: In the end I painted on a polyacrylic topcoat on the entire piece.
Once again thank you to Krystal with The Krafty Creech DIY and to Dar with DIY-by-Dar, for this New Year New to You challenge #uniqueantiquechallenge

I love steampunk!

Thanks, it’s fun!

WOW, how cool was that! I luv this. That looked so fun. Omg, what a great tip with the clay, put it in the freezer. I wonder if you could glue it and set it in place while it's still frozen a bit. That would be a game changer for really long or large molds! Loved everything about this Matgie! All the embellishments, clay and real gears. Your layering and use of the spray paints really cool, you made steam punk look so classy on that jewelry box. I have a jewelry box sitting here to do, thanks for all the cool ideas. Fantastic job!!!!

[@AskingSpot]

Thanks Dar!!! The challenge was great 😊 …Gluing mildly frozen clay would not be advisable as when moisture needs to get out of clay it will slough off paint or in this case glue. But yes indeed I will be trying this on more stuff 😁

[@thekraftycreech]

@@AskingSpot i actually rewound the video several time to show my husband the profiles! i just loved it!

[@whatheatherdid9615]

This steampunk look on this is great. Great tip about air dry clay, my attempts have not gone well, so I'm trying this for sure.

[@AskingSpot]

Thanks! I’ve been playing around with air dry clay for a bit (never on furniture) and the freezer trip seemed to give the pieces a more even dry time. Good luck 👍

[@TheFlippersGuide]

Oh my goodness what a fun furniture makeover!! I loved seeing your layering techniques and of course the molds!! So cool!! Nice job! 😍

[@AskingSpot]

Thank you! If I could resist the urge to work with out filming?!? Maybe I need to strap a gopro to my head :D

[@TheFlippersGuide]

@@AskingSpot 🤣 same!

[@kathleenchapman2204]

I did a steampunk jewelry box a couple of years ago and I love what you did here

[@AskingSpot]

Thank you! Yeah, I felt a little late to the Steampunk style but something about this piece (as I bet you understand completely) just begs to have the style done to it.

[@statementdesigns]

Margie, this turned out really cool!!

[@AskingSpot]

Thank you, I’m pleased 😊
