One of my favorite things to do is to makeover dollar store items. I’m always on the hunt for fun knick knacks that I come across while strolling around the dollar store.
I wanted to use the white glue and paint crackle method to achieve a white owl with very fine gold crackles. As you can see, it didn’t quite work out but I still like the look of the owl. He just looks more like a ceramic glazed owl and he fits right in with my white & gold holiday décor.
You can find the step-by-step crackle paint with white glue and paint tutorial on my blog at the link below.
And here’s Mr. Owl nestled in with my white and gold holiday hutch. He fits right in and I can use him year round for other seasonal décor.
Even though I didn't achieve the exact "crackle paint" effect I wanted, i still love how he turned out.
Enjoyed the project?
