Adding Faux Rivets to Our Panels with Thumbtacks

FULL STREAM

Even faux metal panels need rivets! We managed to get a convincing rusty metal look on our wood panels using just 3 acrylic paint colors. Now it’s time to add the final details to fool even the most discerning eye. With your help I test out a few different aging methods to turn regular thumbtacks into realistic-looking rivets to complete the industrial look for my corner floating shelves.

Do you want to build your own corner floating shelves?
