DIY | Dark Wax

DIY

If you watched my "DIY | How to Make Rustic Blue Bottles", I used dark wax to seal in the paint and add a more rustic look to the bottles.  Here is how I made the dark wax I used in that video!

Get creative and use this wax on many other "rustic" projects!

WHAT YOU NEED:

- Finishing Wax
- Dark/black wood stain
- Pot
- Heat safe Cup or Jar (I recommend a cup for easy access to the wax)
- Spoon
- Water

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In a cup, spoon in some finishing wax (however much you intend to use)
  2. Place the cup in a pot of water so the water comes about halfway up the glass
  3. Bring the pot to a boil and stir the wax until it is completely melted
  4. With oven mittens, safely remove the cup from the pot
  5. Add a few spoons of dark wood stain until you have achieved the colour desired!
