Will this work on painted metal?

I would try it, I think that would look great! Let me know if you try it!

Adorable! Thanks for sharing the tip. And I am crazy about the bucket full of cotton bolls. Did you just lay them in there, or did you use glue to keep them in place?
paula says
will this cause the breakdown of the metal & make it ‘breakable’? or rust?
Debbie says
I believe that rust itself breaks down metal.
