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.
I do like the sheen of wax so a coat of clear
best dang wax was rubbed on the whole rolling pin.
It sold first thing at the market.
