To enhance the vintage look of your items, you can use distressing techniques. Sandpaper can be used for a weathered effect, and antiquing wax can be applied to give the pieces an aged appearance. Copper rub and buff are used to highlight decorative details and add a touch of holiday shimmer.
For added charm, experiment with layering transfers or add paint and designs where desired with a paint pen. By personalizing the items with artistic touches, they become unique pieces of holiday decor.
