I heart faux finishes. I have a friend who used to say, “if you can’t make it, fake it,” and faux finishes allow you to do just that. Carolyn from Carolyn’s Homework has a couple of beaded stone bracelets that are her favorites, so she decided to fake a third bracelet. You can see pictures of all three bracelets together on her blog; it’s definitely difficult to pick out which one is the imposter! Her “stone” beads are actually salt dough painted with Martha Stewart’s new decorative paint line by Plaid. [how to make a chunky faux stone bracelet]
