Its a snow day here in Georgia and we are already stir crazy! Naturally, I cannot stay still so I decided to paint my barstools... I enlisted the help of my 3 year old (AKA: Super Woman). Thats how easy this project will be. Here is a step by step guide.
Before:
Apply first coat with homemade chalk paint recipe found HERE.
You want to apply a thin layer in all different directions.
Its so easy a three year old can do it.
This is what the first coat should look like.
Another view of first coat.
Let the first coat dry a bit- then apply a thicker layer of the second coat.
Try not to get too much paint on the sides and corners so it will be easier to wipe and distress.
It should look like this.
Let it dry until it is still wet in some places then wipe with a damp rag in all different directions. In small circular motions.
Some places will wipe easy and some will need a bigger push.
This is what it should look like.
Dont wipe too much!
Do that all over. Let it dry. Then coat with wax, glaze or even wipe some clear poly on. This is what the end result will be. Im in love.
