Angela's Steampunk Tutorial

It's DT member Angela here and I have a Tutorial on how to make this Greyboard Steampunk style frame.

 

 This is how I made it.

Started with a Steampunk cog frame set from That Craft Place which is available here.

It comes like this:

 

First I cut several extra cogs using Tim Holtz dies and a large one for the centre.

 

Once everything was prepared I started to build up the design by applying Embossing Paste and Glass Bead Texture Gel through a stencil onto the back section.

This stencil is the one I used and it is available from That Craft Place.

 

 

Next I glued down the cogs and covered everything with Gesso, when that was dry, started adding the colour.

 Before applying the top frame section I added treasure Gold gilding wax which makes the colour and detail really pop.

 

 

 

 

Gradually I attached more cogs to the top and added crackle glaze, building up the design.

 

 

I also included some metal embellishments to complete the look.

 

 

 

 

I do hope you enjoyed watching me make this.

If you can, please leave me a comment as I would love to hear what you think.
