I've done this many times in the past. Gravity is one enemy. Multiple strokes will blend glue and paint. Wrecking the crackle. Large pieces of furniture can be challenging . I actually did a wall. But would never, never do that again. But it was on a farm house. Owners were willing to gamble.
Yes works best on a flat surface
I did this years ago to and old screen door frame then backed it with a mirror and hung it sideways in my dining room. Everyone that comes in the house loves it!
Excellent
Im in NewZealand, I so enjoy watching you craft, I find your accent so relaxing.
Thanks so much 😊
💜 I'm so glad Google brought this up. I have some signs I want to do more than just paint. One with a beach theme, this will be perfect, especially stenciled. Ty everyone 🙂
Have fun!
Try using gesso on glass.....it will provide a better surface texture and it will stick to the glass.
Great tip
This was a great tutorial. I was confused on how to use the crackle, but you made it very clear. I will be getting some Elmer’s glue now. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent tutorial. Sadly I was at the office and I couldn't watch but I am catching up now. Thank you so much. I've always been crackled challenge but now I think I can master this with your help thank you
You can do it!
Don't forget your home, Ontario, Canada!! (Prince Edward County) (I am subscribed) I did this technique on a recycled, rectangular window frame in white, yellow, dark turquoise, topping with burgundy. I then painted a metal scrolled piece matte black and attached it into the centre of the open frame. It looks amazing on my wall! **** I am VERY interested in how to make a clear crackle effect that I can put over a couple of wall pictures to make them more authentic and antique. Do you have a video on that? Thank you!!
I just love your videos. I have done majority of them. I’m making signs for a garden club sale to donate. We are a non profit and we give money to a lot of organizations that help people and animals. We do a lot of fund raisers to earn the money. I love it. I’m in West Carrollton, OH it’s south suburb of Dayton.
So glad to help out ❤️
Interesting. I was wondering is there a clear chalk paint? So I can make the cracks bigger by using more glue?

Hi. I am so happy you shared an inexpensive way to do crackle on glass. I am working with a small glass vase and Elmer glue will do very well. Thanks again.
Wonderful!
Will it work with latex paint? Thanks.
Yes it will. It’s not quite as nice as a chalk paint though.
Fantastic!! Thank you! I love your videos! You’re my go-to for diy!!!
If I wanna make crackle texture paste, can I just add spackling to this “recipe”?
Thanks so much I have not tried that
@@OurUpcycledLife I may try it. If it works, I’ll let you know
Excellent. Thank you. Australia . Denise :)
Our pleasure!
Hello, fellow ONtarian . . . ok, former fellow ONtarian, as we just moved to New Brunswick . . .
I rarely comment on videos, but thought I would today. I am subscribed to your channel and just love your easy, not-too-quick, tutorials! I like on this video how the orange crackle technique using GLOSS didn't quite turn out and you weren't inclined to delete from the video. I really like how you kept the "FAIL." Because life is like that -- doesn't always go as planned! lol
Just thought I'd share how much I enjoy your channel, in its simplicity and without alot of overdubbed, annoying, music. I find your channel to be a great distress reliever, lol, as I follow your distressing techniques. (That was a bad -- really baad -- pun . . . lol) Your style is in line with my decorating taste and crafty inclination! Keep up the great videos.
Hi there from Ontario so glad you’re enjoying my videos and happy to have you following along. You can never have too many crafting friends. Hope you find lots of great content.❤️
Is sealing required once the wood project with the crackel is completed? Rust-Oleum,varathane or mod podge?
I always like to use water-based poly acrylic sealer
Hello from Taiwan😊
Thanks for coming
Hello from East Central Georgia,USA

Hi from Denmark

Yes that would work best
Greetings from Kansas!
Love your video. I’m from Weatherford, Texas. Great easy way to crackle using Elmers Glue, instead of buying crackle medium. I’try it for sure. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching. Glad it was helpful.

I was wondering if Elmers glue & then spray paint over it would crackle?
Worth a go!
Hi from New Zealand
Hello there!
interessant merci
Hi, Can you use this on the clear plastic Christmas bulbs?
If painted with chalk paint
Hello!! Can you do a transfer over crackle? Should it be sealed first? How would I go about doing that? Thanks!!
Yes, you can do a transfer directly over the crackle paint. You don’t want to seal it with anything first it is a bit more tricky, though I have to be very careful adding the water or it will reactivate the glue and rub off.
@@OurUpcycledLife Thank you! I can't wait to see more videos from you!
How do you go about getting the crackle effect on a completed painting on a canvas?

Hello from Chicago, USA
Hello there!
Do you have to use chalk paint
I find that the chalk paint works the best but it will crackle with latex or acrylic. Also, you might not just get the best results.

Yes you can just experiment

Yes you can!

I tried this technique on a wooden tray. First I painted it black matte,however the sides of the tray didn’t really look that great. Can I correct it at this point?
Don’t miss paint in too much or it won’t crackle. I think you will have to sand to correct
I am in Ontario , Canada as well. Hello!
Hello there!
Curious....do you think this process would work on a small wood panelled wall? I have an idea for a project.
It works best on a flat surface that wouldn’t run
Hello from Canada
Hello there!
What about spray paint?
I don’t find that it works as well
Hello from O'Fallon, IL!
Can you use a hair dryer instead of a heat gun?😊
Yes you can but make sure doesn’t blow paint around
Southwest Missouri
Why can’t I get anything to crackle I’ve tried it every way
The most common reason is mixing your paint into glue too much and then it won’t crackle . You only have to do one stroke of paint

Hot glue from $tree didn’t work well. I tried glue from Target, didn’t work well either. Elmer’s was the best!
