Title: Bronzing MLP stuff ?
Post by: SheRa-dude on February 23, 2012, 03:50:12 PM: Apart from MLP, I collect antique looking home decoration. The other day, I was thinking how people bronze the baby shoes of their kids... So I got the idea to bronze my favorite MLP item from when I was a kid : the baby buggy.

Apart from spray painting it, I have no idea how to go about to it to give it the genuine vintage bronze look...

Has anyone tried this before? Or maybe you have ideas on how to do it?

Still not sure whether to add sculpted ruffles, or leave the fabric ones and try to bronze those.

You can usually get them at Hobby Lobby or Michaels. then I usually spray a sealent on the item. It has always worked great for me!
