I started out with this
and to me..it just needed a lil something!
So I bought a stencil from Hobby Lobby, that will actually be used again in a future project, and two shades of sliver, a darker and a lighter shade. I stenciled the pattern, unafraid of it being a little imperfect, like I said, I want it to look old and worn...
LIke my toes?! haha!
Anyway...after doing this, It needed something MOOOORE! So I used the darker silver only along the outside edges and the inside circle of the charger. I basically did the same exact thing as I did with the wash affect, just using the darker silver and I didn't mix it with water. I put it on and wipped it off...and this is the finished product
DRUMROLL.....
I LOVE THEM! Kinda looks like old metal to me! I like that its kinda imperfect and uneven...kinda the "fail" of stenciling...This fail is fabulous to me!
Whatcha think? How have you revamped a basic boring charger??

I have been thinking about stenciling on my chargers for awhile now. Yours turned out so cute. I have that stencil too. Thanks for sharing.
