| These old cast iron door stops make charming & unique curtain tie-backs. The little knobs on the end are perfect spots to dangle a little glitz! I wish I could find more of them! |

As you can see from the picture, these sweet little cast iron door stops also make great hat & scarf hooks! A quick application of “European Gold” Rub n’ Buff, and all of the door stops have a new life. |

| RESOURCES: METALLIC TINTS Rub 'n Buff by Amaco is magical. Most Craft Stores only carry the silver & gold, but there are many more wonderful colors/tints available. The following are some Online suppliers I have located: www.createforless.com This place has great prices. www.framingsupplies.com The prices are very good, and they also have many other unique supplies. I plan to spend a little more time checking out this site. www.mccallisters.com Their prices here are not discounted, however, they do have a very good selection. Also, this is the only place I have ordered from. I plan to try the other places listed, and will update this page when I have more information. Comments: If you have never tried the Rub n' Buff products, you are missing out on a "Golden" opportunity. This product, combined with Folk Art Paints can turn very plain and ordinary items into real "Gems & Jewels". When you use the Rub n' Buff, it works best to apply it with your finger. The product has a wax base, so the body heat helps make the paint transfer more evenly. |
