How to turn an ugly cast iron radiator into a gorgeous Victorian one! / Simple and affordable
Hi everyone and welcome to my channel, today I'll show you how I've renovated and decorated our old cast iron radiator to look like a Victorian one!
Here is what you'll need for this project:
Jovi air dry clay (I used 1 kg of clay for the whole radiator having 14 sections)

a mold. I already owned one, so saved here, and you can buy the one you like and reuse it later in other projects
Baroque molds

be sure to use water based paint here, to stick well to the embellishments and add extra strength to them
