The music is fine. Disregard the haters. I'm not sure why people think their own criticism is their gift to this world. I was taught, "If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all." I never comment on tons of videos that have taught me a lot however, I'm getting older and I guess I'm getting a little tired of mean people who complain. They should go make their own videos instead of complaining about those who are actually teaching, sharing and giving their time. Your teaching and skills teach me how to do things that I can do IF I only knew how to do it. Now I do know thanks to you taking your own time to teach us. Thanks for your time to do this! I appreciate you! PS, Turn the music up! See, I told you I was old. 🙂
Thanks for the compliment! This was one of my very first videos I had ever made and didn't really know what I was doing ! Over the past year I have learned lots and hope my newer videos are better to watch! We all have to start somewhere... :)
@@OurUpcycledLife absolutely! Keep going. You're doing great!
So glad I found you. What I love most is that you're not selling products that cost the earth, but are giving recipes. Very much appreciated,
Yes lots of recipes here for DIY projects. I am all about saving money if we can .
Exactly so many of these you tubers get taken into the big brands and its so annoying to see them partner with people like Anny Slone rip off paint company
Yes, thank you so much appreciate you. God bless you and all you do
Love your works of art. Hate the music. Annoying. Distracting. Totally not needed. Simply watching and listening to your instructions is all we need. Thanks for sharing!
This is one of my very first videos and my editing skills were not good! I have lots of new content that is much nicer to watch :) I should redo and edit this one :)
Her Formula in this project:
I Cup Latex Paint - Matte or Satin
2 Tbsp. (heaping) Salt - "pickling" type
1 Tbsp. (heaping) Plastic of Paris
Preparation/Instructions:
Into a container pour the paint. Measure and toss in the dry ingredients (Salt & Plastic of Paris). Stir until well mixed.
I kept wanting to see the Yellow peep through in this project.
Thanks for watching!
Okay to use something else if you don't have plaster of paris?
What was the wax she applied first called please?

I keep thinking what is it going to look like? WOW! Unbelievable how great it came out! Blessed and safe days!
Glad you enjoyed
I was going to buy a sign from amazon for my yard that would take 6-8 weeks, but now I think Im going to make my own :) You make it look so easy & fun to achieve your desired look. Wish me luck!
Ahh!! Perfect ❤️ glad to inspire . Would love to see it done 🌞
Amazing! For my Family this will make perfect Christmas gifts for each of their homes and styles. Florida residents LOVE these southern style antique looking chippy signs!!! So so Cool. Can’t wait to dive in with this One! Love Love Love!!
Thanks for watching! My favourite technique to age wood🌿
Thank you so much! I have 40+ pieces of embroidery to frame and this just really opens the door! I could see doing this on cardboard if it was layered and, oh my! THank you!!
That would be a amazing idea❤️
Amazing technique! I SO needed this tutorial! Thanks for another great DIY!! 🌹

Thanks for watching Kay!
I was looking for another technique and this was recommended, and I’m so glad. This is a new technique to me, tho I’ve tried my own “aging” technique. This takes it to a whole new level. Great job!
Wonderful! Glad this video was helpful! Thanks for watching Sandi
By far the best technique that I've found thus far. Love this lady!❤
Thanks for watching ❤️ yea this technique is fabulous and you can create such cool textures
@@OurUpcycledLife can't wait to watch more if your videos if I had a TV in my shop I wouldn't get any work done. Lol!😁
I have never woodworked before watching you. Thank you. I have the bug now and have started buying tools and having a go. It is surprising what I have achieved. Good but surprised the heck out of me. I am truly grateful. Laser printer next on list. No stopping now. Cheers from Down Under- Australia
Oh thats amazing - love when you can find new hobbies that bring you joy :)
Work of art! Beautiful.

Another fabulous technique to add to my repertoire! Thank you very much. ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It works fabulous!!
I loved your diy! I'm glad you added blue, love it!
Yes the blue finished it off great !
Absolutely stunning! I’m so excited to have found your channel!!
So glad you found me! Love new crafting friends. Hope you find lots of great content Vivian
Love this technique! It's the most authentic, aged paint finish that shows paint layers. It's interesting that you alternate the chalk & salt wash paints. I've used Elmer's Glue (the regular school glue) thinned slightly with water & brushed on prior to the top coat to create authentic cracks - very inexpensive. The top coat also needs to be thinned down & brushed with a loaded brush (brushing back & forth removes crackle). Thank you for sharing your tips!
Yes I find it is most authentic also!! Love layering lots of colours ! ❤️ thanks for watching
Amazing! I’m inspired to try. Thank you for sharing ~
Thanks for watching ❤️ it is a fun painting technique
Love it!! I had one saved that was a beachy sign and love these techniques!!
Glad you enjoyed Cindy

Beautiful, thanks so much for sharing. I use to make my own chalk paint some years ago, and forgot. Now that I'm getting back into painting, it's nice to remember I don't have to spend so much money on paint.
Wonderful!
great video! Love the sign!
Thanks so much!!🌲
Gorgeous
Thanks 😊
GORGEOUS!
Thanks so much ♥️
@@OurUpcycledLife You're very welcome. I like your vids. Straight and to the point! Here's how it's done, now go do it! hahahaha. :)
Perfect! I I'm new to this so glad it is informative 🌞
Music was like sedated chipmunks
and scary but the instruction was great and will try it soon.
lol...... This was one of my first videos and really didn't know alot about editing. Learned alot in a year and hopefully my newer videos are more pleasing to watch
Great tips! Love this 👌
Thanks for watching ❤️
I just found this video today, over a year since you posted it! I love this look and plan on using it on my shiplap boards (before they're installed) when we do our front hall in the Fall. I love shiplap and I think your technique will take it up a few notches to get that 100 year old look! Great job! Where in Ontario are you, I'm also in Ontario, I live in Oshawa. So glad I stumbled upon your video!😊
Thanks for watching 🌺! That would work great for shiplap. I'm just outside of Pembroke🇨🇦 happy you have found my channel
Thanks for the insight. Great job.
Thanks for watching
Love these colors🥰
Me too!! Thanks for watching!
Love the music. I’m country girl made! Love the videos!
Thanks for the great tutorial. I can’t wait to use on my glass panel door project. Only thing I will do different is my last coat I will do the glue crackle technique too.
Oh sounds beautiful thanks so much for watching
Wow, I like it, nice
Thanks for watching ❤️
Love this!!!!
Thanks for watching Stacey♥️
Thanks for all your help!
Can you also tell me the brand and name of poly outdoor sealer you use? I cant tell from the video. It looks like interior varathane, but not sure cause you say its polyacrylic. Thank you
My pleasure!
You can use either as long as it is water based
Will they both work for outdoor use?
Love this one. Amazing that that came out of plywood!
Thanks! Pretty eh!
4;00 recipe
Awesome content! Creative, and love the colors and ideas
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
Beautiful job and good instruction:) You can use Vaseline for the edges, much cheaper than bees wax. Also, for even more cracks, paint with Elmer's glue before a final coat and it will make huge cracks:) Love your salt idea, you go girl!!
Yes I love the glue technique!! ♥️ Thanks for watching
Thank u
Which Elmer’s glue would that be. There seem to be quite a few types of the same name on Amazon. Fab vid by the way!
If you don’t have Vaseline, you can also use a regular white candle, It works really well too! And since it’s smaller, you have more control if you want to do some designs or outline in small places
@@monkfishams regular white glue, which is PVA. Any school glue that’s white will do.
fantastic!!!
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching Daniela
I love this! 😊
Good work sister, nice job ❤
Glad you enjoyed thanks so much for watching

Salt Wash recipe: 1 cup flat latex paint, 2 heaping tablespoons of salt, 1 heaping tablespoon of plaster of Paris. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching ❤️ it works fabulous
Thank you!!
Thanks for watching 🌸
Great technique and instructional! We almost expected to hear the sign was flipped for 50,000 USD. :) The chamfering of the corners on new sawn cuts on new stock and on older commercial furniture pieces when repainting is done adds a little insurance that the paint or coating (s) will adhere. We did a similar finish years ago using gesso and polenta and a bunch of hand sanding.. Great job!
It does create a fantastic chippy finish! Thanks for watching
Love it
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed Lisa
I am new here stumbled across your channel 10 mins before New Years Eve!!!!!!! I absolutely love this paint technique and all the beautiful colors picking thru gorgeous!!!!!! Hope to soon ya soon!!!!! Toodles ♥️
Happy New Year!! Welcome. Thanks for watching Cindy
@@OurUpcycledLife thank you sooooo very much sweetie!!!! Have a blessed and beautiful day ♥️
great tip. one more follower
Thanks for the sub!
Hello this is a wonderful technique! Do you let each layer dry, and if so for how long, between layers? I also have a drawer I found in the trash somewhere, it is pre stained and finished, should i sand the stain off, or is it ok to work from there up? Thanks so much!!! Love your items
Very interesting technique. Thanks for sharing. I've never seen something like this in real. Should be fun to try out.
Is there a way to also have the text looking old and chippy?
Did you seal the paint/text?
It is such a cool technique! Usually the text peels a bit and looks vintage after I do it and then I seal with a poly acrylic sealer ☀️
Beautiful sign. It does look old and weather aged.
Thanks for watching Penny!
I bet you’re right! Sea… salt. Sea Spray. The table I have is SUPER old. It is wood but I have no idea what kind. I cleaned it up and it’s one solid piece (on top) I’m thinking it’s going to soak up so much expensive paint. Do you any tricks up your sleeve for putting something on the top first before I use paint? I have stain, would that help?I forgot about this one but I did make your sand & plaster of paris. If ever I want to change it up, I can sand it off, right? I found a table “workbench” that’s going to look super cute using this technique. 💕
Yes probably stain would work good to help make the wood not so porous before you do that technique ❤️
@@OurUpcycledLife thanks!
new here. glad I found you - curious please do you seal your beautiful creations? if so, with what and how please? thank you kindly
So glad you found me! Love new crafting friends. Hope you find lots of great content. I use a poly acrylic sealer water based to seal most of my projects
I typically don't like over chippy textures...but Deidre, this is stunning.
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed
Looks awesome! When using so much thick paint, how do you stop your sandpaper from getting all clogged up with paint?
With this technique you go thru alot! Its worth it though for the outcome :) Thanks for watching Penny
Love this! Where do you get the little black graphics from?

This is great! Can this be done using a chalk paint instead of latex! Thank you.
Thanks for watching! This was done with latex paint made into chalk paint ❤️
Love it, Susan Dalton England
Thanks for watching Susan ❤️ hello from 🇨🇦
Hi there, this looks awesome when finished and looks fun to do!! Could you please tell me if I could use acrylic paint instead of latex paint? Thanks so much! ♥️♥️🇦🇺
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed this salt wash paint works best with latex paint
Thanks for sharing! Could I simply add coarse salt to ready made chalk paint (without adding plaster of Paris)?
This technique will only work the best by using this exact recipe. Thanks for watching :)
I love the result! If I want to make the salt wash from my chalk paint instead of latex paint would you still recommend using the plaster of Paris with the salt?
You probably could just add the salt to chalk paint!! Give it a try ❤️ thanks for watching
What result did you get using chalk paint instead of latex? I will probably find out myself later ...
Can I use this mixture on my terracotta garden pot with my chalk paint to give it an aged texture and not a flat look? I've seen that Dixie Belle do what they call Seaspray, is this recipe similar? I live in the UK and don't want to pay £15 plus postage for it! Your sign looks fantastic!!
You bet you can
beautiful result . is it a must to use latex paint? we don't have that in France. any other paint that could be used? thanks
Yes, absolutely you can use any type of paint!
I was looking for something new to try for signs and found this amazing technique! Question... on your finished sign, what is the lettering made of and how did you apply it? Thanks!
Here is a tutorial to guide you along: ua-cam.com/video/xLV1kGidPaM/v-deo.html
WONDERFUL! You are talented as a teacher as well as art. I am wondering if humidity would break down the paint? In humid Florida twice I tried using a salt lamp and there was a pool of water on the table because the salt absorbed moisture from the air. Anyone have experience with this issue? I supposed it could be sealed very well but then sometimes that looks plasticky, at least on chalk paint it does.
Thanks so much! 🌸I appreciate it. We don’t have humidity problems here in Ontario 🇨🇦😜
Hi Barbara, I'm in NC and when it's humid and I don't have my A/C on, my salt lamp sweats too. I first I thought there was a defect in it but then I looked it up and it is normal. I haven't yet tried any salt wash finishes but I hope to soon.
@@justdi3347 The salt lamp is very messy and for that reason I stopped using it. But I love the atmosphere/ mood it creates and supposedly it is healthy. I have so many projects going at the same time that I totally forgot about this one. I will put it on my list. Thanx for your comment.
Hi, I am writing to ask why use wax first on the wood before beginning process? I love your stuff. Thanks Chris
It helps create more of a chippy finish
That is so so gorgeous 😍. Pickling salt is not easily available and very expensive in my country. Would it be fine if I use sand instead?
Sample not work as well because you can’t use a sander to remove the sand. It will stick in the paint, but you could use any type of salt.
Wow I love this,! Thank you for sharing 💕 Could I use Epsom salt?
Thanks for watching ❤️ yep you sure can
@@OurUpcycledLife 👍 thank you x
Love it!! Could I use coarse kosher salt ? I have some of that. TFS 💖
You bet you can. It will just make a more chippy layered look ♥️
@@OurUpcycledLife Thank you!!!
Hi! I’m trying this process on uneven barn boards with slats. It’s quite uneven. How do you lay the graphic after it’s sanded to accommodate for the slight levels? Do you cut the graphic to fit each board?
It’s very difficult to transfer is board is not smooth. Might be tricky for you
Love it!!! TFS! New Subby!! Blessings!!💙💙💙💙
Thanks for watching ❤️ love new crafting friends!! Glad to have you follow along
I am watching from Egypt,, thank you for all the great worki need to know what is plaster of Paris??
Hello there ! Glad to have you watching. Plaster of Paris can be purchased at a hardware store. It is a product used for drywall
جبس، حبذا يكون طبي
Do you really need it?
Can I use this recipe on a hung door, will the mix drip when applied?
This will drip it is not really suited to do on a hung door works best on a flat surface
