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!

Step 1 What you need

• 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

Great technique Mr. Steam! I might try something like this on my tablet... I'm sure this monitor would go very nicely with a desktop computer with a dragon with glowing red eyes!;-)

Very handy. I'll have to try this.

Wow! I normally frown upon plastics being used in the steampunk aesthetic, but your technique looks amazing! Though I would only use this technique on large areas plastic if I didn't have the time or money to use wood... otherwise this technique is perfect, especially if used for small pieces...
