A few people asked on here, Instagram or a couple of Facebook groups how I rusted the cover of my tin book recently.
Well, as promised, I have written the directions up and put them at the top of my blog under Tutorials caled Rusting an Object. There is also an older video in the video section for rusting Vilene and card. If you have a go, please let me know!

Thank you Amanda, it looks so good. So you need something called Rusting Powder? Do you know a source? Or can you use rust dust from rusty things?
