Vintage Altered Box Tutorial, now this I do like :)

[@djsthings]

Fi, this was so pretty. Thank's for sharing the tip from your father. I loved how you made it aged & the top still has a shabby chic feel to it. Thanks for this new idea to explore. :) xx

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Paula Fowler Oh I'm always exploring ideas and yes you can add an old weathered look with a little shabbyness and still end up with something lovely :) xx

Distress Ink, but are the rest of the materials you are using, please? Is that Gesso, white paint? And what is the crackle medium and gel like substance painted over to make the distressed look? Thank you! Looks great! :)

[@seriouslyscrapping]

HI Fiona, WOW i was really impressed with that technique i love vintage more than shabby so i was really pleasantly suprised to see this tutorial, it looks amazing, the little brics are a lovely touch, how did you make those? tfs irene xx

Sharon Wolf I have the materials to make that trim lol :) xx

[@angelicinspirations]

Super video. Must have a go with this technique. Thinking to go with a lighter coloured distress ink and see if I can achieve a beech effect. Thanks x

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

angelicinspirations You can use any colour ink and get similar results, its great for shabby chic if you want to go lighter or steampunk if you want to go darker :) xx

[@debsb53]

Fiona could you use crackle spray paint for the same effect you got with paste paint?

[@CreaClaire]

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

C's Vintage Gifts & More Please share what you make :) xx

[@CsVintageGiftsMore]

Would love to if i could.I don't have videos

[@verajackson1849]

Hello Love the aged look. Could this be used on the shabby chic bottles to? ?? Love your videos.

[@applesauce6546]

This is just beautiful Fiona, now I know what to do with my boxes! Thank you for sharing.

[@FlowersandmorebyRhonda]

What are the brand of brushes do you use??.. I need some, but I don't know what would be best to purchase... THANKS :)

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Flowers & More By Rhonda Well a professional artist like a painter would not use the brushes I use! I always try and use the NYLON brushes and for several reasons :O) They are perfect for using with glues, paints and they mix mediums well together. They clean well and last a long time but do buy a set or two as you really need lots of different sizes for different worK. I'm hoping to have them in store soon :) xx

[@FlowersandmorebyRhonda]

Jennings644 Thank you much... I wasn't sure of the bristles... and what you use seem to work so well... :)

[@lindahansen1024]

As always,it is stunning. You make it look so easy. Thanks for the ideas

[@Lady_Chaos]

I've done things similar to this a few times. It looks beautiful, but I always have the same issue. How do you keep the box/dried glue from having a bit of tackiness to it? Even when it's dry.

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

MsChaosLost If using a wet glue like PVA I like to heat dry it and that seems to do the trick :) xx

[@Lady_Chaos]

I'll try heat drying it. I usually set it aside to dry when working on another aspect of it. Acrylic paint and glue is even worse for me...

[@manny4445]

I think the reason I like your video's is because you take us through the process with you we see in real time your creative process. I have a great idea. Why not sell kits in your shop for a 'Craft along with Fi'. You pick a deadline for getting the kits, pick the day you will upload your video and we can follow along and craft with you.

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Lu ODell I do sell kits and Wendy and I do do tutorials :0) with these kits :) xx

[@manny4445]

LOL, I know that! I love both of your tutorials. I wondered if I made myself clear! Not! I was meaning like a real time craft session. I guess I was thinking as a quilter. When you quilt in some classes you get a kit and attend class you learn to quilt in real time as your instructor demonstrates what step you need to do.

[@SuperRocketdog1]

Oh I love this! Great tutorial as always. Thank you for sharing with us.😍

[@reaganmiller453]

Gorgeous box. Love the tip from your Dad - I have never heard about doing this before. It looks fab!

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Reagan Miller My dad could turn anything NEW into something OLD looking and I picked up a lot of tips from him :) xx

[@reaganmiller453]

:-)

[@wifedec]

Absolutely gorgeous but my first glance at it I thought it said Zombies lol not timeless.

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Christi Hicks lol lol I will have to look now at the video lol :) xx

[@tessa71465]

I too thought it said Zombies! LOL! My son loves those movies! I hate them! I would much rather watch Fi make her beautiful Art on youtube!

[@MetalScrappinChick]

Marvelous piece as always Fiona. Your videos always leave me inspired to go and alter something lol!! I'm just curious where you get all of your gorgeous laces and trims that you're always using? I absolutely love the trim you've used here with the little pearl teardrop dangles.

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

MetalScrappinChick That trim came from Lucy at Tresaurs de Lux :) xx

[@tinathigpen582]
