What You Will Need

Instructions

  • Start by painting your entire surface. In this case, I used a silver brushed metal paint but you can use any paint color that you like. Allow to dry completely.
  • Spray with spray sealer. While still wet, start sprinkling on some cinnamon in small areas to ensure the spray sealer stays wet.
  • Spray the area with more spray sealer while still wet. You can actually layer cinnamon if you would like but it is not required. Just keep adding spray sealer and cinnamon until you are happy with the look.
  • Continue all the way around your anchor.
  • Allow to dry completely then you are ready to put in any area of your home.
