Making the New Look Old

I just love these sweet little salt and pepper shakers and wanted to do something fun with them ~

Vintage buttons and vintage skeleton keys are some of my favorite things ~ So I decided to combine them into one sweet little vignette piece ~


I bough this Patina kit at Michaels ~
The first thing that you do is paint the entire shiny lid with a coat of the Blackened Bronze ~




The next step is to put a light coat of Patina Blue Antiquing Solution while the bronze coat is still tacky ~



Then when the lids are dry I fill them with vintage white buttons and tie the lid with seam binding and a vintage skeleton key ~
