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.
