I buy a lot of Gothic home decor items around Halloween as you probably know! And while a lot of those items looks great, some can't hide the fact that they are made of plastic. Luckily I have a great technique for turning plastic into pewter (not literally.. but it looks like pewter!) and I'll share it with you in this video. If you enjoy home improvement and DIY projects, I think you'll enjoy this one!

Watching this episode I was presented with an advertisement for a Bible Study app. I'm feeling blessed that people are attempting to save my soul from painting it black and then dry brushing pewter.

@melindaroop1346 3 года назад

My soul was painted black a long time ago.

@laralicari914 Год назад

I was made with a black heart now I just have to dry brush it

@reddeath6172 4 года назад

Some tips. For painting unpainted plastic pieces note that most plastics have a mold release or sealant that prevents proper paint adhesion and will cause paint chipping. To get around this, using a 3M buffing sponge to abrade the surface and then prime and paint. Also, instead of dry brushing with paint you can use weathering pigments which are pigmented powders you wipe into a painted surface like applying makeup. You can layer an array of metallic colors for an aged patina look and since you're using actual metal powders it looks highly realistic. Just note to seal the powder with a laquer coat when done or the powder will rub off.

Do you happen to have any DIY webpages/blog or even a YT channel to demonstrate techniques? I’d like to learn more. 😊👍

@titan133760 3 года назад

Man, this reminds me of painting gunpla

@TypeOneg 2 года назад

I am going to add that plastic items might need to be weighted at the bottom I keep them from being knocked over. Decor needs to stay where you put it.

@dustinfirestone5319 4 года назад

I like to imagine there's a black void outside Voltaire's apartment where he spray paints all his pieces. (I'm sure he uses cardboard)

@invaderzimts 4 года назад

These pieces are GORGEOUS! Have you ever considered starting an etsy page for your creations?

It surprised me how those candles are actually huge LOL! I've never seen them in person 🤣..... Oh the Rocky Horror puns 🖤🖤🖤🖤made my day.... BUT MAYBEEEEEE THE RAIN! 🤣

@kitirena_koneko 4 года назад

IS REALLY TO BLAME... -_^ Yes, it's always nice to be able to work in a Rocky Horror reference or two, isn't it now?

Ikr! XD

@TheSonOfTheDragon 4 года назад

Figures I get a visit from goofy eccentric uncle Voltaire while I'm at work, at least I'm on lunch break great video.

@kitirena_koneko 4 года назад

The best part of this technique is that by replacing the silver color with copper or brass, you can Steampunk your whole secret mad scientist's lair and make it look like the interior of an airship! {looking around nervously} Not that I ever tried to do anything like that myself, oh, no! {quickly hiding my "brass" goggles behind my back...} The cool thing about tutorials like these is that they can easily be adapted to your favorite genre with a little creativity! Thanks so much for posting these, they're so handy for us creative misfits!

@rozza8238 4 года назад

Please correct me if I'm wrong but how is Voltaire not sponsored by Krylon!! At this point they need to work with and name a shade after him lol Another wonderful video as always Voltaire! I will definitely have to try this technique!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Voltaire sassing Orville in Spanish is the energy I wish to radiate

@Abyss_Watcher 4 года назад

The tips about dry-brush techniques bringing out details is also true for miniature models. Never really expected to see tips I've seen in Warhammer 40k painting videos here. Once this gods forsaken lockdown is finally over I might try to finally begin transforming some of the things in my home. These videos have been rather inspirational.

Voltaire: "And my secret weapon?" Me: Rub n' buff!! Voltaire: "Brush n' Leaf!" I was so close lol

@evil-is-hot 4 года назад

I love your lair and I wish my house was as beautifully decorated as yours, but GODS, thinking about dusting all that stuff regularly stresses me out.

@oneveryboredhuman7777 4 года назад

Well, depending on your goal a little dust could be a plus😁

@ghoulgoil5029 4 года назад

Lol! Love the jokes with Orville. Great ideas 🖤

@crystalrose2623 4 года назад

I love this show so much! But Orville really has it coming.

@SallyOaktree 4 года назад

I could watch drybrushing details all day! So satisfying!

@suburbohemian 4 года назад

Oh wow! Yes, you *can* see the difference on the candle holders. The extra layers give a sense of a more substantial item than before! Love that extra touch of velvet on the framed skeleton piece. Who could ever have thumbs-downed this episode?????

@xanthis5413 4 года назад

Oh My Goth. the Idea of you as Dr. Frankenfurter in a Rocky Horror Review is... Please consider adding a Rocky horror song to your stage show.

For smooth plastic pieces you could always pick up some textural spray to apply sparsely before hand, give it a cast iron-esque appearance

@Queencrazy1997 4 года назад

This series will never get old. Can't wait until I have a place I can customize more

@SakoresDark 4 года назад

Great video! Though the framed skeleton still looks a bit lacking....maybe it's just me but maybe there should be a decorative heart inside the rib cage? A splash of red to mix up the color a bit?

@barbararemsen4768 4 года назад

Looking wildly around my apartment for things to use Brush N Leaf on. Thanks for the inspiration!

@tori91192 4 года назад

you could also try Rust-Oleum's Hammered spray paint. I'm wanting to try that or this method on some cheap plastic Dollar Tree gothic frames i got during Halloween.

@megancanada8496 4 года назад

I've used it on some cosplay items and it looks really nice.

I have that same crystal ball and wow you made it look 1000% better!

@ah5721 3 года назад

I was wondering how I would pant a cheep looking black metal candelabra that looks plastic. This method I think would be perfect for making it look better and I'm glad I saw your video !

@bethalynnmarie 4 года назад

Thank you so much for these videos. They bring me so much joy!

@Riwy1942 4 года назад

The skeleton frame is stunning!!*O*

@jetta.silence6356 4 года назад

I think i would have left the candelabra's black. They looked very luxurious. But the mirror/art piece looked great dry brushed.

@Midnightpigeon666 4 года назад

What a beautiful piece! I need to make a little dead guy of my own! 🖤 I use this technique for items I find in stores however I’m pretty strapped for cash more of the time so instead of using brush and leaf I use a metallic silver sharpie style marker pen and some kitchen roll to achieve the same affect.
