Rolling Pins Makeover

Y’all know I love some rolling pins, especially when I find them at thrift stores! I saw Jami Ray Vintage use the Iron Orchid Designs (IOD) stamps on rolling pins and I’ve been wanting to try this out, so let’s do it!

Supplies:

These Iron Orchid Designs stamps as well as Debi’s Design Diary paints are so pretty! I know y’all are going to want to see more, so click here to visit Milton’s Daughter’s shop. Use code LIZZYERIN10 for 10% discount where applicable.

Iron Orchid Designs: Ink pad and ink

Debi’s Design Diary DIY paints: Black Wax, Clear Wax, Mint Chip, Aviary (green), Hey Sailor (blue) and White Swan.

Goodwill Outlet: Rolling pins

These silicone stamps are so well made! I used a variety from my collection on these projects.

FYI: The pins will be for decoration only, as they are not suitable for consumable use.

This embossing pin may be my favorite, but y’all, I love them all!

The green one and the one with red on the handles are both vintage, and great finds, especially at the Goodwill Outlet!

Here I am, trying to be a professional crafter, and Aunt Criddy (my sister) showed up and showed out! We always have a great time!

Back to business!

I painted each of the pins with Debi’s Design Diary DIY paints. I used White Swan, Hey Sailor and Mint Chip.

I used the 12″ X 12″ mounting surface that comes with the IOD stamps. It has a grid for placement, and I also used the IOD ink.

Placing the stamps was a breeze. I just chose the ones I liked and put them where I wanted. Next, I inked them with the IOD ink pad and black ink.

Was I a little nervous? Girl, you know I was!

But I carefully rolled the white pin over the inked stamps and hoped for the best.

I did it, y’all! I did it! Oh my gosh, I love it!

Now for the blue. I painted the stamps with White Swan and rolled that blue pin right over them.

Absolutely beautiful, right? But wait till I add some clear wax. Oh. It’s gonna be gorgeous!

I mixed Mint Chip and Aviary to get a close match to the handles of the white pin. My stamp for this layer is a big ole rooster! I painted the green on and rolled the pin over it for a layered element.

Here’s where I added the wax. I used a light coat of the black wax to the green and white pins, and a clear on the blue. Check out the finishes!

Y’all know I have to do a little sanding to add some rustic touches!

And here they are, all gorgeous against my German schmear fireplace. I love how they all turned out!

Let me know in the comments if you have a favorite one! It’s hard for me to decide which one I love the most.

Thank you so much for stopping by,
