I always thought that you need a special medium to create a crackle paint finish.
But when I saw our friend Agnes tutorial onhow to crackle paint with glue, I was intrigued.
Agnes used white glue in her tutorial.
I decided to test in out to make some simple decorative wood blocks for my Halloween tiered tray.
you’re free to readour full disclosure policy here.
Paint a generous coat of school glue onto the surface.
Brush it in one direction for best results.
While the glue is still tacky, brush the surface paint color over it.
Allow the paint to air dry, or use an air gun to speed up the drying.
As the paint dries, the crackle finish will form like magic!
And thats all there is to making paint crackle with glue!
Let the paint and glue dry completely.
This may take several hours depending on the thickness of the glue.
You now have a beautiful textured surface to use for your crafting project!
Once dry, use the gold paint pen to add the Halloween quote or phrase.
Tie a gold ribbon about a third of the way down from the top edge.
