DecoArt Blogger Outreach Program: Up-cycled Vintage Magazine Holder


Hi all  
i am sharing my first make for the DecoArt Blogger Outreach Program. I have an altered magazine holder which i coated in Americana Chalky Finish paint.



I started by sanding off the old varnish and coating with Americana Decor  Innocent Chalky Finish paint.



I Then painted a layer of Weathered Wood crackle medium and let it dry before painting over with Americana Chalky Finish Everlasting Paint. 


I painted another coat of Weathered Wood Medium over the top and painted another layer of Americana Chalky Finish Innocent paint. As the paint layers cracked it toned down the pink a little and left this lovely distressed effect.




The Weathered Wood Medium creates large defined cracks.


I lined the bottom of the magazine holder with  Victorian Romance Decou-Page Paper
