            Old camp clothes would look good as well did it make a giant mess?

              No I used rubber gloves and rubbed it on.
              I mean it's not an easy or clean process though.

                  It looks pretty good to me. What kind of epoxy did you use?

                    Looks good. I have made it out of construction paper, Burlap, Denim, and old Dickies Pants

                        Where did you find the info on how to do this and what epoxy to use? I want to try this.

                          I really don't remember where. I looked into it a whole back and made this piece a couple months ago and finally am getting back around to messing with it.

                            I'm going to be putting it on this knife I made, and see how she looks.
