7. Vintage Gilded Metal-Leaf Medallion
With the right finishing techniques, egg carton pulp takes on the substantial, aged appearance of cast plaster, carved wood, or antique bronze.
- The Concept: Arrange concentric rings of sculpted pointed petals onto a round wooden disc to form an ornate classical floral medallion or sunburst.
- Styling Tip: Prime the assembled piece with dark umber acrylic paint, apply a coat of liquid gold leaf or metallic wax paste across the raised edges, and buff gently to achieve an authentic antique patina.
