Hello, I finnaly fond a DIY rusting solution other than the one that can be found in hobby shops :-) But I would like to know the poroportions of bleach and vinegar in your soulution.

And also could I use a brush to apply the mixture or am I forced to plung the obect in it??

I love your Paris Tea Tins, and thanks so much sharing this technique utilizing simple household products. I admire these simple easy to execute projects, and the tins are way less expensive than the ones from the brocante.

Thanks so much for this easy to follow demo and also for offering alternative ideas for faux rusting. I'm guessing for the bleach/vinegar method I should be mixing equal parts?

Thank you so much for showing alternatives to the bleach and vinegar technique. I'm one of those who cannot come within 10 feet of a bottle of bleach---not even outdoors. Much appreciated to see the other ways this can be done.
