Instructions No. 1210In this tutorial we will show you how to create great vintage effects with Chalk colour and wax in no time at all
Create unique pieces of furniture and much more for a country house ambience.
And it's as simple as that:
Which craft material do I need for the vintage decoration?
For the hip vintage look from Chalk colour you need Chalk colour, for example VBS Chalky Color, a brush or Paint sponge, special Chalky wax, household wipes and sandpaper
Choose a piece of furniture or decorative object to be treated with Chalk colour and wax.
How do I create the vintage look with wax technique?
1. Apply paint
Stir the Chalky colour well and apply it with Paint sponge or brush to the selected piece of furniture or decorative object.
2. Apply wax layer
After the first layer of paint has dried well, you start to apply the Chalky Wax. With the help of a household cloth a thin layer of wax is applied, which should dry well for about 10 minutes and then polished.
3. Apply light shade
The next step is to start with the second layer of paint. The second colour is applied on top of the previously waxed first colour layer
4. Creating a vintage effect with sandpaper
As soon as this layer of Chalky paint has dried, the edges and particularly prominent areas are lightly sanded with the sandpaper with varying pressure. Thereby you achieve the unique vintage look! After sanding, the surface should be wiped with another household cloth.
For an even more beautiful vintage effect, take a darker shade of colour with the first colour application and apply a lighter shade after waxing.
