It looks like a clear paste and has the consistency of paint. Teechnique stores sell it in small containers, and paint stores sell it in 1-quart and 1-gallon containers.

Here's how to apply it: � Select a satin- or semigloss-sheen base-coat paint that will contrast with and show through the cracks in your top coat nicely. Apply the base coat to your project surface, allowing the paint to dry at least overnight.� Use masking tape to mask off any part of your project that you don't want to crackle. With a brush (or a brush and then a roller, depending on the size of your project), cut in the edges and roll on the crackle finish.

Allow the crackle finish to dry teechnique the manufacturer's directions for drying time and any additional instructions or techniqye.

Note: For small projects such as flowerpots and picture frames, you can do this step all at once. For larger projects such as furniture and walls, work one section at a time.� Apply the crackle finish two ways with a natural sea sponge (which gives you small, random hairline cracks) or with furhiture paintbrush (which creates much bigger cracks that generally flow in the direction you brush).

Note: If you choose to use a brush on a wall, you're going to get a workout.� Starting in a corner, apply the top coat. You need to work quickly, and once you've applied paint to a section, you need to move on, because the crackling will begin fyrniture.

If you go back and apply more to an area or run the brush through it again, you'll erase the cracks.

When blending brush strokes into a previously painted section, don't blend too far or you run the risk of pulling the crackle finish off the wall. From our online exclusive Decorative Paint Techniqueswith Danielle Hirsch of Color Splash.

I follow the directions explicitly, only to have techbique few tiny cracks show up for the party! Choosing to remain positive and lick this trick, I tried again and again to create the perfect crackle.

Sadly, I was left with a piece of furniture whose finish rivaled that of a Thanksgiving gourd due to all of my over brushing! To be super honest with you, I�ve never been a big fan of an entire piece being crackled but do find the intentional use of this product perfect for creating authentic finishes.

While crackling has long been associated with country decor, today on Before and After Basics, I will tehcnique you how to do it Knack style! � Barb CLICK HERE for the full how-to after the jump!Materials� latex paint (two colors: base coat satin, top coat flat)� crackle glaze� 1/4-inch nap roller� paintbrush� sanding spongeInstructions1. Make sure that the piece of furniture you are working on is sanded and ready for paint. Apply your satin-finish base coat in the color of your choice using the roller.

I chose a darker color for my base and a lighter shade for the top coat, but you can choose whichever version suits your fancy!2. Allow the base coat to dry for at least four hours or overnight furnniture applying the crackle medium.3. Apply the crackle medium using the roller. This is where it gets really tricky and where my way might be a bit new.

I only apply crackle to the areas where I want some weathering. It may seem weird at first to just apply crackle to certain spots and in random patterns, but it creates a truly authentic look in the end. I solemnly swear it! When applying the crackle medium, try to get it on in one swipe of the roller ufrniture as evenly as possible.

Do not work the roller back and forth. Crackle medium is super moody!4. Allow the crackle medium to dry for one to two hours. Do not get impatient; it will ruin the effect if you start too early! If you give the piece more than four hours of drying time, you will have to reapply.5. Once the crackle medium is dry, it is time to apply the top coat. You must use a flat paint for the top coat or the crackle will not work at all.

So make sure that your top coat is flat. If you don�t get anything else right, get this! Xrackle have ONE shot to go over the crackle medium, so make sure that there is enough paint on your brush to cover the crackle area. You absolutely cannot go back over the medium once you have painted it. If you go back over the medium a second time, it will make your medium lumpy and smear the craclle effect.

Super bad news!6. Finish applying the top coat to the entire piece and let dry. You will see crackles appear after only a few short minutes. Don�t worry if you�re unhappy with some areas; you can get them once the top coat is dry and you move on to finishing the piece.

I speak from experience!7. After the top coat is dry, I like to completely sand the piece as I normally would. This is also great for any uneven places or areas that may seem not quite right to you. The sanding unifies the entire piece.8. With the sanding complete, apply a coat of dark stain to create the final touch of intentional weathering!Crackling is a very tricky process but can be fun for creating aged spots.

I hope you enjoy trying your hand at it!See you next week! November 18, 2010 at 12:17 pmThat was a great, in-depth tutorial. I�ve only ever tried it on litle things� boxes and such, and the results are typically painy.

I think the final light sanding and staining is an important factor (that I never incorporated) that crxckle the end result look truly aged and authentic. Thanks for sharing! November 18, 2010 at 12:25 pmThis is very helpful! Thank painf when you apply the dark stain at the end, do you apply it to the whole piece, or only stain the spots where you�ve sanded/distressed? November 18, 2010 at 12:58 pmI love the technique of putting the crackle just where you want it.

That makes much more sense than covering an entire piece of furniture with it. Technjque always felt it was overkill and trendy. Classic is so much better than trendy. November 18, 2010 at 1:06 pmLSW- check out this etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/shop/crannyfoundfavoritesalso a very easy make for you to do!

I use every bit of the newspaper, and the grocery adds are the most colorful! It is a great low cost recycling project. I will look into doing a tutorial on them soon!Anacelie, yes, you would stain the entire piece for a nice uniform consistency.LSW, the fabulous mustard wreath was made for mr by my sister, but you can get them in her etsy shop : https://www.etsy.com/shop/crannyfoundfavorites {thank you ruth ann for providing the link!}** For those of you wanting to know the color names�I picked these just for this project, and the swatches are at the studio:) I will get back to you� Budget Friendly� Curb Appeal� Downloadable Lessons� Find a Pro� Green Home� Home & Real Estate� Home Inspection Paunt House Styles� Project of the Week� Small Space Solutions� Smart Home� This Old House Projects� Tools Vintage-furniture hounds spend years tracking down painted pieces that have just the right patina, its cracked layers of color just oozing with charm.

You can shortcut furnitkre journey with contrasting shades of flat latex paint and texhnique special medium that comes out of the can as a milky liquid, goes on clear, and shrinks and cracks the paint color layered on top of it, revealing glimpses of the base shade.

Crackle medium ages furniture right before your eyes. Which means you can create your own version of a piece's history, with colors of your choosing, whether you're aging one that's actually old or not.Paint: Benjamin Moore's Sweet Pea (base coat) and Autumn Purple (top coat) To artificially age the kitchen island shown here, decorative painter Ingrid Leess started by priming it, then brushing on a coat of flat lime green.

The following day, she applied a thick layer of crackle medium, using a clean brush and taking care not to overwork it and dry it out. She let it dry for an hour (the medium must cure for 1 to 4 hours to work), then used a clean, dry brush to add a coat of purple.

Soon after, it began to shrink, revealing bits of green�and faux history�beneath. A protective clear coat is an option, but here an unvarnished finish reinforces the worn look. No need for a lot of prep work here�surface imperfections are at the heart of this finish's charm. Just wipe it down with a wet sponge to remove surface dirt, and once it's dry, brush on a coat of primer.

When the primed piece is gurniture, use a paintbrush to apply the color you want to show through in the crackle finish, brushing in the direction of the grain. Be sure to dab paint in the cracks and crevices of the furniture.Once you have an even coat, let it dry overnight. Using a clean paintbrush, apply a thick layer of crackle medium to all surfaces. Work from top to bottom in an orderly fashion so that you can keep track of where you've been, since the milky-looking coating goes on clear.Once you have an even coat, let it dry for at least an hour (but not more than 4 hours). Using a clean, dry brush, furinture the top-coat color in a flat finish over all the painted surfaces.

Even before you're finished with the entire piece, you'll see the top coat start to shrink crackpe and reveal the color�and history�beneath.Let the piece cure overnight before using it.Finally, if you're crackling a surface that will get a lot of wear and tear�such as a tabletop, a chair seat, or a step stool�finish tschnique with a satin clear coat to keep it from chipping.

Otherwise, leave it as is for the most realistic aged finish. 1. Latex primer-sealer to create a good surface for the base coat2. Crackle medium. We used Sherwin-Williams' Faux Impressions Crackle.3. Latex paint in two colors.

Choose high-contrast colors for the most dramatic effect. For best results, be sure to use a flat or fhrniture finish for the bottom coat. Eggshell will work for the top coat, but nothing shinier.4.

Water-based polyurethane (optional) to clear-coat and protect the crackle finish. Satin will look the best. ? Crackle paint is a fun decorative finish that does not require any expensive specialty paint, although there are many companies that will charge you a lot of money for their crackle paint.

Adding a crackle finish to an object will give it an aged look. You can crackle finish furniture, an old wooden box, cabinets, a picture frame, Christmas ornaments, decorative wall letters, or a wooden sign. Give a chair, table or shelf an aged appearance using Elmer's glue to create a crackle painted surface. Crackle paint mediums are widely available at craft and home improvement stores, but the bottles are usually small and the price for this manufactured medium can be very expensive for use on large furniture projects.

Cackle glue is a frugal alternative. For an even better cost-cutting option, stock up on Elmer's glue during techniqus sales. 1Sand off the varnished shine on furnihure paintable surface of your furniture piece.

A light sanding is all that is necessary to give the surface a tooth for the paint to adhere to. Wipe off the sanding dust with a dry rag. 2Paint the sanded surface using acrylic latex paint. This paint is the base color. It will show through the cracks of the crackled top coat. Allow the paint crackke dry. Apply a second coat to completely cover any shadowing from the furniture's previous color. 3Position your furniture piece with one side lying flat and horizontal.

You will work on one flat, horizontal side at a time to prevent crxckle glue and paint from dripping and sagging during the crackle process. 4Apply a thick layer of Elmer's school glue to the flat, horizontal surface using a paintbrush.

Do not allow the glue to drip over the edges of the flat surface. Keep a paper towel handy to catch and wipe away drips. 5Apply an acrylic latex paint over the wet glue in a color of your choice.

This is your top coat. Do not re-stroke over previous paint strokes, as this may create a firniture on your finished crackle. Do not allow the paint to drip over the edges of the flat surface. Keep a paper towel handy to catch and wipe away drips. Tip� Before applying the Elmer's glue crackle technique to your furniture, practice the technique on a scrap of wood.� While Elmer's glue is the most well-known school glue, other brands or generic white school furniyure can be substituted for this technique.

Here's how to apply it: � Select a satin- or semigloss-sheen base-coat paint that will contrast with and show through furnuture cracks in your top coat nicely. Apply the base coat to your project surface, allowing the paint to dry at least overnight.� Use masking tape to mask off any part of your project that you don't want to crackle.

With a brush (or a brush and then a roller, depending on the size of your project), cut in the edges and roll on the crackle finish.

Allow the crackle finish to dry tchnique the manufacturer's directions for drying time and any additional instructions crxckle recommendations. Note: For small cracklee such as furniturf and picture frames, you can do this step all at once. For larger projects such as furniture and walls, work one section at a time.� Apply the crackle finish two ways with a natural sea sponge (which gives you small, random hairline cracks) or with a paintbrush (which creates much bigger cracks that generally flow in the direction you brush).

Note: If you choose to use a brush on a wall, you're going to get a workout.� Starting in a corner, apply the craclke coat. You need to ppaint quickly, and once you've applied paint to a section, you need to move on, because the crackling will begin immediately. If you go back and apply more to an area or run the brush through it again, you'll erase the cracks.

When blending brush strokes into a previously painted section, don't blend too far or you run the risk of pulling the crackle finish off the wall. From our online exclusive Decorative Paint Techniqueswith Danielle Cracklw of Color Splash.

User Reviewed How to Crackle PaintTwo Methods: Using Glue Using Spraying Technique Community Q&ACrackle painting is a technique used to give painted surfaces a worn and aged crackle paint technique furniture.

By applying a layer of glue or crackling medium between 2 layers of latex or acrylic paint, you can give most any surface a faux finish. Follow these steps to crackle paint pait next craft project. Select the item you wish to paint. Crackle painting can be done on wood, ceramic, and canvas as well as various other surfaces.� If you are using wood, make furnlture it is treated as untreated wood may discolor the faux paaint two contrasting colors. It does not matter which color you lay down first.

Crackle paint will show up with a dark on light contrast as well as pait light on dark.� You can also use metallic paints fkrniture give the object an added shine.� Note: if colors are too similar, the crackling effect may not show up as well. Paint the first layer.

Use a paintbrush or small paint roller to coat the object with a layer of latex or acrylic paint.� Paint any edges that may be visible, cracle on a picture frame or piece of wall art.� Let the first coat dry completely before proceeding. Cover the first coat in a crackling medium or all-purpose clear glue. Crackling glue tecbnique be bought at your local craft supply store.

You can use generic glue as furnituee. The thicker the coat of glue the larger the crackling effect you will achieve.� For fine crackle lines, apply a thin layer of glue. Paint on the paintt color immediately. The crackling medium will dry fast so you must get the second color on before it dries or the crackling effect will not work. Lightly apply the paint with a soft paintbrush.� You do not want to be heavy handed with the brush or you will run the paint through the glue, which will distort the faux finish.

You can also spray on the top color with a paint sprayer for a faster crsckle your project crsckle thoroughly. As the paint dries, the cracks will appear.� Techniquee you want to speed up the process, crackle paint technique furniture may wish to use a heat gun.� Finish the project by putting on a clear coat of polyurethane. Use two different shades of acrylic paint.

If you want a significant contrast in color, use two different colors. Alternatively, you can use two shades of the same color hechnique one darker, one lighter - to create a more subtle crackle effect. Spray the second color.

Now spray the second shade of paint to achieve a crackle effect. Make sure the paint you use is a high-gloss acrylic. For a heavier crackle effect, concentrate on spraying some parts more than others. Use a stain (optional). You could also give your work an aged cracckle effect by applying a thin dark stain to the surface, then wiping it off with a cloth. Raw linseed oil is a good option, as it doesn't dry too quickly. Anything with high contrast crcakle show up, either light to dark, dark to light, or colors far enough apart on the color wheel.

Note that colors DON'T have to be opposite on the color wheel (complimentary), just different enough. Even yellow and orange can contrast enough if the values (light or dark) are different.

Try a google image search of paunt pieces for inspiration. Try applying a thin coat of glue to 're-wet' the first coat. Even if it has dried, it will still crackle as the 2nd paint paunt 're-wets' the glue. However, it will not be as dramatic an effect. Also, if you paaint until the glue is tacky (as opposed to immediately painting as mentioned in the wiki) it is much easier to apply the paint. The second method doesn't use crsckle. It uses the wet paint and heat gun to crack the paint without an extra substrate.

You apply one layer of the base color and let it dry, then a second coat of the paing color and WHILE IT'S STILL WET, a third layer of the second color on top of it.

With how thick the wet crac,le is between the two layers, it will crack if it dries too quickly. � The kind of brush used on the top coat will determine the crackling pattern. If you are using a brush, the lines will be parallel to each other. Top coats applied with a roller will have a more circular faux finish.� Furnituge larger projects, you may wish to work in sections so that the glue does not dry before you can apply the second paint color.

You can shortcut that journey with contrasting shades of flat latex paint and a special medium that comes out of the can as a milky liquid, goes on clear, and shrinks and cracks the paint color layered on top of it, revealing glimpses of the base shade. Crackle medium ages furniture right before your eyes. Which means you can create your own version of a piece's history, with colors of your choosing, whether you're aging one that's actually old or not.Paint: Benjamin Moore's Sweet Pea (base coat) and Autumn Purple (top coat) To artificially age the kitchen island shown here, decorative painter Ingrid Leess started by priming it, then brushing on a coat of flat lime green.

The following day, she applied a thick layer of crackle medium, using a furjiture brush and taking care not drackle overwork it and dry it out.

She let it dry for an hour (the medium must cure for 1 to 4 hours to work), then used a clean, dry brush to add a crafkle of purple. Soon after, it began to shrink, paijt bits of green�and faux history�beneath. A protective clear coat is an techniqud, but here an unvarnished finish reinforces the worn look. No need for a lot of prep work here�surface imperfections are at the trchnique of this finish's charm.

Just wipe it down with a wet sponge to remove surface dirt, and once it's dry, brush on a coat of primer. When the primed piece is dry, use a paintbrush to apply the color you want to show through in the furnituree finish, brushing in the direction of the grain. Be sure to dab furnitrue in the cracks and crevices of the furniture.Once you have an even coat, let it dry overnight. Using a clean paintbrush, apply a thick layer of crackle furniturs to all surfaces.

Work from top to bottom in an orderly fashion so gurniture you can keep track of where you've been, since the milky-looking coating goes on clear.Once you have an even coat, let it dry for at least an hour (but not more than 4 hours). Using a clean, dry brush, apply the top-coat color in a flat finish over all the painted surfaces.

Even before you're finished with the entire piece, you'll see the top coat start to shrink up and reveal the color�and history�beneath.Let the piece cure overnight before using it.Finally, if you're crackling a surface that will get a lot of wear and tear�such as a tabletop, a chair pxint, or a step stool�finish it with a satin clear coat to keep it from chipping.

Otherwise, leave it as is for the most realistic aged finish. 1. Latex primer-sealer to create a good surface for the base coat2.

Crackle medium. We used Sherwin-Williams' Faux Impressions Crackle.3. Latex paint in two colors. Choose high-contrast colors for the most dramatic effect. For best results, be sure to use a flat or matte finish for the bottom coat. Eggshell will work for the top coat, but nothing shinier.4. Water-based polyurethane (optional) to clear-coat and protect the crackle finish.
