This is a tutorial on adding rust to a prop. I made this to show everybody how easy it is to make something rusty.


Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Looks great. Thanks for the video. Where do you get your rust kits?

I purchased my set from Michaels. According to their website you can get them from the following stores:

-Home Depot
-http://www.michaels.com
-Joann.com: Online Shopping for Sewing, Scrapbooking, Yarn and Crafts
-pearlart.com
-Art Supplies from Dick Blick Art Materials

Excellent! I have some lame looking props in my haunt. I'm going to rust them and they are going to look sweet! Thanks for the tutorial.

WOW...great tutorial. I was thinking of buying a sword for my reaper, but after watching this, I think I can tackle this project. Nice work!

If you have a power (belt)sander that will really reduce the time needed to make the sword.
I have used a wood rasp and then sanded by hand, but that takes some time and elbow grease!
Home Depot or Lowes has a good selection of Poplar and Maple wood. I would suggest buying that type of wood, as the grain is really small, which means after you paint you can't tell it's wood. The 1/2" thick pieces look the best, IMO.

Post pics when you complete it! I would love to see what other people do with the rusting technique.

Best tutorial i've seen yet! Now i know what a planer looks like. lol. Will you post a tutorial on how to make your awesome chainmail? Pretty pretty please with a bloody brain on top!

Sure I will post something on that!

This would look great on the spikes in a Crush Room from the Monster List
