MIX PATINA GREEN AND CORINTH BLUE HOW TO
How to create DIY Patina Paint Mixes! #1 – Light Green Patina Paint Mix If you’re using smaller jars, just mix the DIY Patina Mixes in a bowl, and then transfer into your jars! Just keep the ingredient proportions the same, no matter how much or how little you choose to make! Also, since I’ve chosen to work in larger quantities, I’ve chosen larger jars…this means that the mixture can be created easily within the jar, rather than having to mix in separate containers. Note: For this demonstration, I decided to make larger quantities – so the measurements are a bit different than the DIY Rust Pastes. Note: scrape and wipe as much of the mixtures off of your tools and hands as possible, and dispose in the garbage prior to washing up- we don’t want these goopy mixtures to go down the drain!
