Frenchic make a special opener for their paint cans. Worth getting one.

[@amymanley2323]

Turned out beautiful and I like the idea that you can use a baby wipe to distress things good tip

[@Beckyscraftsandgoodies]

It makes distressing so much easier and cleaner x

There is a special Frenchic can opener that makes it really easy for opening the paint 😊

[@Beckyscraftsandgoodies]

Oh I'm going to get that Sammie , I really struggled ! x

[@kevchez4262]

What's your opinion on the frenchchic lazy range?, I've used it for the first time today and I think its rubbish, I haven't used the other one yet, it's supposed to be self leveling but nah it's not, I'm getting lots of brushlines, I just wondered if I was doing something wrong, I'm using the correct brushes and doing the necessary prep work.

[@Beckyscraftsandgoodies]

Hi, I haven't used it Kev, I like the normal frenchic but not tried that one, maybe contact them directly and ask for some advice, they should have a better idea than me. Thanks for watching

[@Beckyscraftsandgoodies]

its so much better the fairy chic works well too x

[@helensmith8608]

Hi Becky love the dresser. Can you only use that finishing coat for decoupage or if you use that all over do you then use the wax. Also can you put the wax over the finished decoupage. Sorry to be a pain but really want to paint some furniture. Thanks for your help

[@Beckyscraftsandgoodies]

Hi Helen you use one or the other, so if you use the wax you don't need the finishing coat and vice versa. if you wax over decoupage, it may yellow the tone a bit so maybe just best to use modpodge or a different sealer like the finishing coat for that part. the wax is easy to apply with the brush. x

[@tiinatrimeloni7102]

Frenchic has three lines of paints: Original has to be waxed or varnished , Lazy Range and Al Fresco has a built in sealer in it. Frenchic also has a genious product Finishing coat which can be used as a primer or a sealer , but it can be used as a metallic paint after putting the Frensheen metal powder in it. he powders can be used to make a metal wax when mixed with the waxes. And NO , I am not selling the paint , but I love to use it .

[@TillysTravelss]

Do you keep every project like this? Looks great!

[@andreaharrington1564]

Amazing upcycle thank you! For some reason your voice was so quiet despite me upping the volume to the max so couldn't hear properly but still enjoyed it X

[@Beckyscraftsandgoodies]

Oh sorry about that andrea x

[@gaynorcasey519]

Wow Becky youve done a wonderful job on the dresser. Youre like me less is more. Loved the video thank you. Wonder where youre going to put that?

[@Beckyscraftsandgoodies]

Hi Gaynor, I did think about keeping it but its sold already ! it went to its new home this morning x

[@gaynorcasey519]

Someone will be very happy with it Becky xx

[@sarasexton2510]

Could you put that paint on with a roller? I love it! So pretty.

[@Beckyscraftsandgoodies]

Erm you could do, I usually use a brush but I bet people do use them, it would give a different finish though :-)

[@sarasexton2510]

I believe you are right it would have a different texture. It would lose that shabby chic look.

[@barbarawiddowson635]

Do you have to use the white wax or can you just use the clear if you don't want to highlight? Thank you for this Becky. Gentle Hugs.

[@Beckyscraftsandgoodies]

Just use the clear wax Barbara x

[@shereenaqvi8957]

Hi, what colour is this? Is this Swanky Pants? Thanks.

[@karensanders8061]

It's really lovely. Does the paint beat Annie Sloan? Yes think I'll buy a brush for waxing. It kills my arm rubbing with a cloth. Are you keeping it or selling? Xx

[@Beckyscraftsandgoodies]

The paint is better than annie sloan Karen. I'm selling this one x

[@karensanders8061]

@@Beckyscraftsandgoodies oooh I'm gonna try it then. I've got another bedside cupboard to do. Make sure you ask for a really good price, don't out do yourself. I paid £300 for mine, maybe it was a little too much but I do love it. It's like yours with all the panels on the draws. X

[@Beckyscraftsandgoodies]

I'm trying a new paint called fairy chic too. Ive got a haul going on tomorrow. X

[@stephanieedgerton2842]

Hi Becky. Looks beautiful I have paint lots of furniture with chalk paint and one I used I always had to water it down it was so hard to paint otherwise . Im going to buy the paint you used ! Did you know if you use clear was then put dark wax over the top it gives it a vintage look the clear wax makes it easy to move the dark wax around . My home is full of shabby chic furniture I just adore it . Thank you for this wonderful video ... I have been keeping up with watching your videos ❤️ keep them coming x

[@Beckyscraftsandgoodies]

you don't have to water this one down it works lovely, I have another one called fairy chic paint, that works really well too. my next project is using the fairy chic paint x

[@peca1n]

Don't you have to strip the old varnish off? I have a pine dresser and desperate to paint it but can't face the stripping part.

[@Beckyscraftsandgoodies]

not with chalk paint no, just paint straight on the top.

[@lindagillies2981]

You are using too much for your first coat
