From Plastic to Pewter DIY – Gothic Homemaking Presents
From Plastic to Pewter DIY – Gothic Homemaking Presents
I buy a lot of Gothic home decor items around Halloween as you probably know! And while a lot of those items looks great, some can’t hide the fact that they are made of plastic. Luckily I have a great technique for turning plastic into pewter (not literally.. but it looks like pewter!) and I’ll share it with you in this video. If you enjoy home improvement and DIY projects, I think you’ll enjoy this one!

I want to know how you maked the opening ๐
Beautiful!!! ๐ป I want those candelabra with bone candles!!
great improvement ๐
I love this, just heard about this after watching your performance on virtual Dragoncon and this was everything I hoped it would be! I will 100% be watching all of these
So great!
You really need to make your own home decor line.
holy shit i was just auto playing while searching for some ‘potion vials’ and i looked over bc his voice was nicer and its a fucking vampire man.. giving gothic home dรฉcor tips….
I wonder what the one year later view on the velvet and your steam pipe cover are? I would be afraid they would get moldy in there. Otherwise, great video as always! I wish I had room for that Candelabra. Also wondering when you will start your own gothic decor line!
Very Cool! How could I have missed this episode?
Love the frame!!!
I love the results <3
They definitely look much nicer, Iโm gonna have to try this myself!
Can you make a tutorial for making a mold of a skull head!!! If you know how to do it!!!
Voltaire sassing Orville in Spanish is the energy I wish to radiate
LMFAO ๐ป๐ ๐ ๐
"That looks pretty cool but it’s about to get even cooler cuz I took it outside and I painted it blaaaaack."
Thanks
Rocky horror picture show anyone lololololol love the the diys.
This is awesome and i love it! Well done!
Great ideas to make it go from cheap to chic ….wonderful tips for any craft. Who needs Martha Stewart when we got you and you are way cuter too! Thanks!!!
Everything looks great!!
Iโm a artist, florist and creepy crafter and I really appreciate your ingenuity and talents in giving these mass production pieces a more upscale makeover ๐๐ป
How much do you want for the large skull candelabra? I need to have it ๐
Whereโd ya get those little victorian looking shelves I love them
This works for miniatures as well
My Necron Immortals are on point yo
You have exquisite comedic timing XD
It looks so great
Well THAT was fun ๐
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby, it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts
It’s not easy facing up, when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin’ sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin’ comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
The intro has earned my subscription.
i just want to make my room look dark
As usual, you come up with the best ideas. I canโt believe how incredible that skeleton frame came out. Great, as usual!
Those candelabras look EPIC
I love your channel and your music. Plus how you teach us how to make cool stuff. Glad someone got me hooked on your music bc it’s funny as hell for music.
Thank you for the idea to brush the leaf paint on to items I have a raven skull cane I plan to use in a similar effect
today is the day I FINALLY learned how to pronounce pewter in English xDDD
Awesome episode as always! ๐
I love the purple bat pillows.
I have a crystal ball just like the one you made. The only difference is mine is kinda like a snow globe with smokey stuff in it and a spinning mechanism than makes it swirl and a light. There are also a few different details in the base.
I was wondering how I would pant a cheep looking black metal candelabra that looks plastic. This method I think would be perfect for making it look better and I’m glad I saw your video !
I love those bone candles
I’m really "digging" that skeleton frame with the black velvet background. Really feels like the bones are coming from a dark whole. Super cool effet ! Thanks 4 your tutorals they’re awsome ๐
The silver leaf paint is amazing! Those bone candles…eeeeek! ๐
killer keemstar just got more killer
Wow just wow ๐ค๐๐งก
I love this man
i want to live in your house… if i did anything fancy to mine my cats would destroy it all. they seriously kill every couch i bring in here.
MAN, you are SO talented when it comes to crafting. You make me want to get into it. Weโll see….๐๐
Well THAT was funโฆ๐
Much much better and I must get me some of that paint!!! What one’s touch will do some marvelous pieces!!!๐
