Wax Out Antiques

If you want to create an antique look without damaging your paint job, all you need is a piece of candle wax, and you're ready to go! First, light the candle and let it melt a bit, then blow out the flame and gently rub it over your furniture. The wax will create a unique design that will give any piece of furniture an instant 'lived-in look' while preserving the paint underneath.

Plus, since wax is softer than paint, it won't cause any scratches or abrasions. This is an excellent option for those looking to give their pieces an extra special touch without spending too much time or money.
