09/12/2022
Let’s take these fall/Halloween ceramic metallic decorations and make them even cuter by applying a simple DIY antiquing technique.

If you’re using acrylic paints, you can also mix colors to get your desired look. Try white or cream + brown + orange for a terra cotta look. Since my first attempt at this DIY worked, I will be trying more sizes and colors to add to my collection. For step 2, you can continue using the spray paint or you...
