I originally thought about using baby power (which I think would work great), but the cornstarch was closer. I wanted to seal my work with wax, but I didn’t want the sheen of wax. You’re probably asking why there is a box of Corn Starch in the last picture… True oxidized copper has a chalky finish (which looks a lot like non-sealed chalk-based paint).

If you need a recipe to create your own, go here. I used all Country Chic Paint products, and I find that they layer, distress, and “play” beautifully, but you could certainly attempt a similar effect with any chalk-based paint. The process involves quite a few steps, but each is quick and easy. To do so, I found some old glass tea light holders that had seen better days… I’d say they’re much improved now. So I recently acquired that gorgeous tall candlestick, and I loved the finish so much that I decided to undergo a little creativity therapy and try to create green patina myself. After installation, the surface develops in the completely natural manner characteristic of copper.You know those items you have in your pantry? The ones you hardly ever use but you always have a big box taking up space? Please tell me I’m not the only one! Well, my friends, today’s tutorial will not only help you achieve some super gorgeous faux metal patina, it will help justify the square inches being eaten up by one of those random products in your pantry.
Traces of processing remain practically invisible on the material surface, and even after folding and bending, the patina layer remains in good condition. The temporary yet robust transparent layer ensures long-lasting protection. The unique developments occurring in TECU® Patina are exciting – just as modern architecture should be. The many different surface tones and shades eventually blend together, but only gradually. TECU® Patina is always extremely varied, just as you would expect from a natural surface. The solution is TECU® Patina – on one side patinated copper for immediate use to satisfy the highest aesthetic demands in building design. When the design demands the power and expressiveness of the patina green typical for copper, then it should be implemented just as required – without waiting for the gradual changes caused by natural weathering. Often the shortest path takes you directly to your goal.
