Magnolia Painted Wooden Rolling Pin

 

This old hand turned solid wood rolling pin sat for years in my stock to paint stash. Prepping for my annual vintage market had me going thru the box. I saw it and visualized it painted warm white with my favorite magnolia flowers on it. So that is just what I did.

After a deep scrub with Dixie Belle white lightning cleaner to get rid of years of oil and use it was dried well. Using my Festool orbital sander it was sanded fully to smooth the surface back to bare wood.

It hung perfectly with a cup hook in the original hand turned hole from my husbands car lift.

To be sure the paint adhered well to the wood surface it was painted grey Dixie Belle BOSS. This product blocks stains, smells and primes the surface. Two coats were brushed on and left to dry 24 hours.

My favorite warm white, endless shore Dixie Belle silk mineral paint was the color of choice. This all in one paint covers so well, see the grey BOSS on handle and one coat painted on?

Two coats were brushed on and allowed to dry well. You want the paint very dry before applying transfers.

Now to apply my favorite magnolia Dixie Belle transfers. Cut design, remove backing and press in place, burnish with the stick included and remove the top sheet.

I was working on this rolling pin along with this pretty cake plate as a matching set.

Here are other magnolia projects I have done. Sadly this transfer has been retired.

The transfers were then sealed in place using my fav 2" mini Dixie Belle synthetic brush to apply Dixie Belle satin clear coat . Two coats were applied. Again let this dry well for a couple days.

I do like the sheen of wax so a coat of clear best dang wax was rubbed on the whole rolling pin.

Using a dedicated Dixie Belle French tip brush, brown Dixie Belle's best dang wax was lightly brushed around the edges to add a slight aged feel.

It sold first thing at the market.
