DIY Wax For Chalk Paint- Option 1

Ok folks, here is the antique finishing wax recipe I promised you. 

Its so easy and SO cheap! I found this version from Pneumatic Addict Furniture. She used a different brand of finishing wax but the Minwax was the one I had on hand. 

Directions:

1. Scoop some wax in a tupperware and nuke in the microwave for 30 seconds. Take it out to make sure it is ok. If its still hard put it back in for a few more seconds. 

2. Add about a 1/2 tsp of stain. Since the wax is oil base just use anything oil based. I had Ebony and loved the result. 

3. Mix.

This is what mine looked like. 

4. Wipe your project  and buff clean until its not "sticky" feeling anymore. 

*Tip: A little goes a long way!!*

This is what mine looked like. Get the corners and crannies real good! It looks so yummy! You will love it. 

Next will be the chalk paint finishing GLAZE recipe! 

Post questions below and I would love to answer them. Let me know how your wax turned out!
