Mystpete on Sep 03, 2015~ I had the same problem come up a few months ago. Being a texture freak, I spyed the crackle paint at HD, but it was a little to expensive. So, I crinkled tissue paper & tore it in uneven pieces. Then used Mod Podge to glue to headboard in a random pattern. After drying, I painted it black & finished it with a satin poly. It is so cool...looks like leather.Helpful Reply
