SUPPLIES:
1. Rubber eraser |choose the soft one so it easily carved
2. Metal ring
3. Acrylic paint
4. Cutter
5. Gold spray paint
6. Brush
7. E6000 |or glue gun
8. Scotch tape |or masking tape
STEPS:
- Carve the rubber eraser into geometric shape using cutter. You can use the rubber eraser with any color you'd like. I like that Uni-ball Boxy Eraser. Besides I love black color, I think that one was easier to carved than the white one.
- Carve it until you get the shape you wanted. It'll be better if it has asymmetrical sides.
- Paint the carved eraser using acrylic paint and brush with any color you like. I choose mint and pale salmon for my white eraser :) And let the paint dry for a while.
- Be sure that your paint has completely dry before you go to the next step.
- Using scotch tape, make a neat line to covered one side of your painted eraser. Be sure that a half side was perfectly covered by scotch tape before you spray painted them.
- Paint the tape-covered eraser using gold spray paint. Let it dry, then open the scotch tape so you'll get the two sided faceted erasers, color and golden side.
- The final step is just attach the faceted eraser into the metal ring using E6000 or glue gun.
- Voila! You got a new ring to go with you this weekend :)
