  • Next, paint an even coat of Americana Décor Crackle Medium over the surface of your project. Allow it to dry completely.
  • Once your crackle medium is completely dry to the touch, add a layer of your next color on top. Allow it to dry completely (2+ hours).
  • Grab the chevron painter’s tape and start laying chevron stripes across your canvas. Double check that the paint adheres to your canvas.
  • Add a light coat of cream or white paint on top.
  • Once the paint dries, remove the tape strips to reveal your distressed design.
  • Apply a coat of Americana Décor Soft Varnish to protect your project. Once it's dry, your project is ready to display!
