HOW TO DISTRESS WITHOUT THE MESS

    HOW TO DISTRESS WITHOUT THE MESS

    Step 1.

    Clean your thrifty find or the item you want to paint.
    I usually use alcohol to kill the little germies and the grease.
    Step 2.
    Use a soft brush like the seacult brush to brush on the shades you want to SHOW THROUGH the white. 
    For this piece I did sporadic strokes of gray and some green in random places and even left some of the wood its original stain color.
    Let that dry for 5 minutes.
    Step 3.
    I brushed on Weathered White over the entire piece. (if you want a really rustic and weathered look, use WhiteWash Secret instead. 
    Let dry 5 minutes.
    With a soft cloth, sprits a few sprays of Windex on your cloth and rub over the areas you wish to distress. 
    To protect your piece you can brush on a coat of SeaGlass Topcoat, but I skipped that part because I'm a lazy fish.
