Several months a go I bought these drawers for my pens and pencils. I put it together and covered each drawer with a 12x12 piece of paper. Recently I decided to finsh off the piece with paint.
First I covered the outside with
Viva Colour's Precious Metal Effects in Orange Yellow
Next is a layer to prepare for crackling: Viva Colour's Crackle Paint Base Coat
It looks white at first but dries clear. The base coat is nesseccary for the crackle paint to work. I used
Viva Colour's Black Crackle Paint.
As for the front, you can see some shimmer on the papered drawers. That is from using a very watery brush and a small amount of Viva Colour's Precious Metal Effects in Orange Yellow .
With a few inspiring words, it was done!
Hope you get a chance to upgrade your organizaton! -heather
