Glue Caddy


I purchased one of Tracy Weinzapfel's Glue Caddies a few weeks ago and I just finished altering it.
I was inspired by Julie's alteration of her glue caddy. I basically followed the same steps that she did.

First I painted the edges in brown (not shown because I forgot to take a picture!)
Then I covered it all in white.


I added the paper to the top and sides. I used the Helmar Acid Free Glue, no buckling :)


Next I sanded some of the white off to show the brown paint (forgot that pic too)
 and give it an aged look.
Then I added Helmar Crackle Medium (a two step process).  When that dried I rubbed distress ink into the cracks and wiped off the excess.  Acrylic sealer comes next!


Here's what it looks like with all my glues in it! I love it!


The "art" embellishment is canvas from Prima. 
 I painted it with pink and blue Shimerz paints then added some distress ink and adhered it with Scrap Dots.
