Steampunk Modified TFT Monitor

I found a brilliant idea to give plastic surfaces a wooden finish.
My daughters worked with napkins to build some Christmas cards and gifts.
I watched them and had the idea to use the same technique on a TFT monitor.

TFT monitors are a bit hard to "Steampunk" :-)

You can paint it with brass or copper paint.
You can dismantle it and build a wooden stand.

Or you use paper napkins and wax stain.

An it´s very, very easy!

• A TFT Monitor (I obtained one from eBay)
• Paper napkins
• Glue (e.g. ART POCH)
• Some brass parts
• Wax stain (I used wax stain from SELVA)
• Brass paint

Dismount the TFT monitor.
Carefully remove the plastic push buttons and paint them with brass paint. (Picture three)
My TFT has two speakers behind an ugly plastic grid. I removed them and added brass grids. (Picture three)

Peel the layers from the paper napkins. But the printed layer away for other projects. (May be a picture radio)
Attach a minimum of three layers using the special glue.
Let everything dry.
Then stain the parts with wax stain. Let the stain dry.
I stained the parts three times.
Use a shoe brush to polish the parts.

Attach some brass parts to make it pretty. :-)
