Steps:
1. Using a sponge brush, base
coat all sides of the pieces of the rocker with white
paint if using the CrazyCardboard Rock
Me Rocker. Just coat the rocker if using another
kind. Let it dry. (This coat does not have to be solid
coverage).
2. Using a sponge brush, apply
the crackle medium to one side of all of the pieces.
Let this dry completely.
3. Using a sponge brush, apply
the blue paint over the crackle medium in thick continuous
strokes. Do not brush back over areas as it smears
the crackling. The thicker the paint, the easier it
is to apply.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to the
other sides of all pieces. Make sure all have dried
completely before continuing.
5. Assemble the chair (if using
the CrazyCardboard chair) to see what areas
are visible and not visible for applying stickers.
Also, note how the notches fit together before gluing
the ribbon trim.
6. Apply stickers to the chair
assembled or unassembled. Lightly place the stickers
into place, and when content with the design, firmly
press them down.
7. Spray two to three layers of
acrylic gloss coating to protect paint and stickers.
Let it dry overnight.
8. To apply the ribbon, squeeze
glue in a tight "S" pattern along the edging,
and press the blue ribbon into place. Do not adhere
the ribbon on seat of the chair. Be sure not to put
ribbon into notches where the chair fits together.
Do not put any ribbon on the sides of the seat. Apply
ribbon to the back notch of the chair, but put the
seat into place prior to applying the ribbon.
9. To adhere the seat lace, apply
glue in an "S" pattern onto the front of
the seat. Press the lace into place.
Notes:
Crackle medium can create a variety
of looks: thin, thick, random, consistent. Test it
out before starting. Also, some acrylic gloss sealers
will bleed the stickers. Test them first as well.
