Are you ready to create your own agate?
Hey there! It is Michelle from Dandelion Patina back again to share a budget-friendly DIY project with you. Agate slices are beautiful and have been showing up everywhere in home decor for awhile now. As a lover of all things agate, I wanted to try my hand at creating an agate slice with a bit of paint.
So, let's get started.
Supplies you will need:
- small wood slice
- gold paint
- chalk paints in various shades to replicate agate of your choice
- paint brushes
- poly sealer
First, I painted the edges in gold. {I have seen gold leaf adhered to the edges as well, if you wanted another option}. I then used the natural agate slice I currently had to replicate the design.
The natural agate had many shades of color blended together, so I was intentional in layering and blending my paint colors. Once I was finished painting the design, I lightly sanded and applied a layer of high gloss poly.
So, for under $10, I created my own little awesome slice of beauty and you can too in just a few hours! No hunting for natural agate in stores or waiting for your online order to come. I enjoyed creating this little piece of home decor.
