[@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

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Dawn Stanley Its fun to play and often you find new ideas in doing so :) xx

[@marilynjones1596]

This really is a timeless piece

[@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

[@JayDub_143]

If I don't have white acrylic paint can I use a heavy gesso in it's place? This is absolutely beautiful!! I am VERY INSPIRED!! thank you so much for sharing your dad sounds like an amazing man! Hugs

[@SuperRocketdog1]

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

[@SharonWolfbling]

Didn't think I would like this but it is gorgeous! Do you have the trim in your etsy shop - I would like some! TFS xx

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

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

[@sandrahall2475]

Ink pad tip is cool, I'm definitely using it. Thanks

[@megankymsdottir6816]

Wow another masterpiece. Love it can I ask what colour ink you used.

[@101curlywurly]

Gorgeous, going to try this. Whereabouts do you do your craft shopping?

[@josiegitto8928]

Love it !!!! Came out beautiful. You used distressed ink but what did your dad use when working on furniture ?

[@newcreations1064]

Stunning.So vintage,can i ask what colour was the ink pad please.Thanks Jean.xx

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

R Jones Sorry, I should of said, its the Wlanut Stain one :) xx

[@newcreations1064]

Thank you Fiona.x

[@robindonnelly]

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! :)

[@verajackson1849]

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

[@fred6059]

I am trying to make a box but am so stuck on it! The idea is there but I can't bring it together! Gorgeous work!

[@alicechristian2980]

Gorgeous. Luv it.

[@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

[@LaunaStacey]

i love that style dingy and shabby :) xxx

[@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.

[@raynashone1499]

Very inspiring. I will be trying this. Hugs Rayna

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Rayna Shone Hope you share what you create :) xx

[@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]

I love your tutorials your the best ive learned so much from you TINA

[@cindyphipps4257]

Do you have a video on making a Victorian sewing box ?

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

I have one that I altered, kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIqwhqCHiJ2EgsU Hope this helpes xx

[@debsb53]

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

[@susanglennie1439]

[@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...

[@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... :)

[@cindyphipps7507]

Are you using a regular blow dryer ?

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

No Cindy, it called a 'Heat gun', you can get them online love xx

[@annemariechamaillard7263]

what kind of glue?PLEASE

[@craftcornerwithestherc2506]

Gorgeous :)

[@gloriavillalobos5223]

Me encanta la tecnica de shabby chic....

[@jacquelineriley-gorman4647]

[@tanyawoodruff3642]
