Wood jewelry is everywhere and it is a trend that will probably stick for a while. We took our favorite wood pendants and painted them with Vintaj Patinas. Patinas are great for painting on wood because it gives you an even and full coat of paint. Plus, they dry fast enough that if you need a second layer, you only need to wait a minute of two to add your next coat.
What you’ll need:
- 2 – Natural Wood Pendant (A021783)
These pendants come in two other colors: Dark Brown and Black. - Vintaj Patina Paints (Item used in example TL00300)
- Gold Post Earrings (Z001831)
- 8mm Gold Jump Ring (A011523)
- Other tools: Paint brush, Painter’s Tape & Flat Nose Pliers
Step-by-Step Tutorial
When using Patinas on metal or wood, do you have to do something after the patina dries to prevent it from rubbing off on skin or clothes.
After any paint job, I seal the paint. In the case of jewelry, not so much to keep paint from rubbing off, on body or clothes, but to protect the paint job. I use a spray sealer that comes in a choice of Matte or Gloss finish, using one or several light coats If I wanted a ‘natural’ look, I’d try the Matte first. If I were looking for a shinny sparklie sheen, I’d use Gloss. You could first try experimenting on scrap pieces of wood to see how the products work together and to get the look you want. Remember, you can always sand it all off, down to the wood and start again, if you’re not happy with your first attempt, or the next one
