acrylic paint - 2 contrasting colors**
Quik Crackle™

**Your base paint will only show through the cracks. The second, contrasting paint is your main color and will crackle.

Directions
1. Apply your base paint and let dry.
2. Brush an even coat of Quik Crackle™ over your base paint and let dry 20 minutes to 1-hour.
3. Brush on your contrasting color. It will crackle in seconds. Let dry completely before sealing with Modge Podge™ or a spray on sealer.
4. Cut chicken wire so it extends beyond the frame's opening on all sides. Staple to the back of the frame every 2-3".
5. Attach the hook to the center top of the frame with a small hammer.
6. Hot glue a domed wooden disk to each corner of the frame's back.
7. On the front, arrange a variety of dried or silk flowers and greenery on two opposite corners.
8. Hang and enjoy!
