Distressed and Crackled Bench

Hey Bellas!!! I found this cute lil bench from a thrift shop during our visit to Lake Tahoe last summer. I knew i wanted to do something with it so i finally did. Sorry i forgot to take the finish picture. I do want you guys to take a look at the crackling effects that a simple formula can give. First I painted the bench with baby pink acrylic paint very messily then let it dry. Coat  with just a regular Elmers glue and apply another color paint, in this case i used ivory. Take your hot tool and begin to dry the painted area. The trick is simple, the paint dries faster than the glue so the paint slips and creates the cracks. This is so simple and a lot more cheaper than using the crackling paints by Ranger.

Thanks for stopping by.
