I’m right here at present with a brilliant tremendous easy tip for you as we head into the autumn season, however actually that is for each season & the best way to make stems look extra life like it doesn’t matter what season you’re in. This all began after I bought the dupe for my favourite fall stems that have been discontinued. The dupe is from Amazon [HERE] & the itemizing picture made them seem like a precise dupe for my favourite stems, however after they confirmed up they have been virtually the identical with some minor variations like coloration variation & most of all of the sheen of the stems & leaves. The leaves on the dupe have been shiny & not as life like as the unique & as quickly as I shared in my stories so a lot of you who have been watching agreed & as quickly as I discussed we should always journey to make them much less shiny… so a lot of you have been on board with that too! I used some modge podge which proved to be too thick, I thought of including some paint, however the simplest way grew to become the winner & it was one thing I had readily available already at dwelling…
Unfiltered picture now of the unique stems on the left & the dupes on the correct:
The easy repair? Matte spray sealer! You can actually use any model, however I had this one [HERE] on hand. You can see above the unique stem on the left & the dupe on the correct. Photos don’t present simply how shiny the leaves are on the one on the correct, however you may see movies of the stems over on my Instagram [HERE] in my stem highlight & my recent reel.
All I needed to do was give the amazon leaves one to 2 layers of this matte sealer & they got here out superbly similar to the unique leaves so far as sheen & they seemed A LOT extra life like. You may apply the matte sealer to fake pumpkins, seasonal stems, & a lot extra to make it look extra life like and even simply extra your model. You can get the sources for the matte sealer, stems, & amber vases [HERE].
I styled the leaves shortly in our kitchen to point out you the completed product after I sprayed them with matte sealer, however I’ll even go in with extra & see what occurs. I’m unhappy the leaves are bought out now after I shared them in tales the opposite day, however I’ll alert after they come again in inventory. Be certain to follow me over on Instagram to get the most recent updates. Also take a look at some extra of my cozy cottage farmhouse fall finds from amazon [HERE]. Thank you a lot for stopping by the weblog at present & I hope that this little tip helps indirectly! xx
