I was totally inspired yesteryear Brancaster Castle on the Chrismtas Special of Downton Abbey.
It's too the castle that Lady Edith marries into. It's stunning!
I but froze the exhibit too studied it. I beloved those giant ornate frames, the marble fireplace,
the clock, the valance over the door, the high ceilings too molding. So awesome.

I beloved the emerald light-green too the gold! It's therefore glorious!
So that's the inspiration for these awesome cabinet knobs.
Imagine the possibilities equally y'all read through this tutorial!
You volition need:
Gold Leaf
Knob Hardware
E6000 glue
Baking sheet/wood board/surface for working on
This materials is really smelly.
Please travel inwards a really ventilated environment.
I should have got taken these to the garage, but I did it inwards the solid instead.
Even alongside all the windows too doors open, I withal got a chemic headache.
Read the instructions on the clear casting resin well.
They are a niggling chip vague on how much of the hardener to drib in.
I mixed upward a whole loving cup of resin at once, because I had several other projects going.
But really, y'all but ask plenty to fill upward one-half of your molds initially.
You tin purpose Mold Release Spray, but mine popped out but fine without it.
Fill the molds one-half way.
My mold had a chip of a bow inwards it therefore I laid unopen to items on tumble out of it to straighten it out acre setting.
Let it sit down for near an hour.
It won't endure completely set, but it volition endure gel similar too laid upward for leafing.
I used less than i canvass of leafing too but rolled too broke it up.
If y'all have got gilded leafage flakes, that would endure easier.
Just add together leafage flakes too rolls into the molds.
It form of gets everywhere!
No worries. Just allow it sit down undisturbed for unopen to other hour.
Next I mixed upward a niggling to a greater extent than resin (in a novel loving cup alongside a novel stirring stick)
I made but plenty for my molds too added a duo drops of light-green resin dye.
It's non opaque, it's translucent, therefore the gilded leafage volition withal exhibit through.
Then gently pour correct on tumble out of the gilded leafage too fill upward to the tumble out of the mold.
Then allow it sit down undisturbed for a few days.
I allow mine sit down for a calendar week to endure certain it was cured.
I popped them out of the mold too allow them sit down a duo to a greater extent than days...
because they withal had a niggling resin aroma to them.
But await at that! They await amazing.
Now, because I did non hold back for the clear resin to laid completely, the light-green resin mixed inwards alongside the clear too made them all emerald. I truly beloved it.
They wouldn't have got looked equally adept if they had a harsh clear to colored line.
The undersides were a chip uneven too had unopen to sudden edges, therefore I but sanded them smooth.
After sanding too washing them off, they looked perfect.
Next I used the cabinet delineate hardware too the E6000.
A dab of gum on the hardware too and then laid gently on the dorsum of the knobs.
I laid them on bubble wrap therefore I could travel along them direct fifty-fifty though the surfaces are rounded.
Let them dry out for at to the lowest degree four hours.
Add inwards the auto screw too they are laid upward to use!
I'd beloved to characteristic these on a vintage dresser or high boy!
Or added to all the cabinets inwards the kitchen, imagine all half dozen knobs visible!
But alas, I have got this curt hutch too it needed a knob...this adds therefore much classiness to it!
Such a delightful upshot alongside the curls too flakes of
gilded leafage too the smoothen too shiny light-green resin.
It's stunning too personal!
I have got therefore many other fun cabinet knob ideas now.
