Hello, my crafty fam! And If you're new to my channel, welcome! I've been through a lot in my life. I have even shared a few of those things with you guys over the years. Because of that, people are always asking me where they can donate to help me out. That truly warms my heart and although I may be struggling, I'm okay. I thank God I have all the basic needs. I have food, clean drinking water, clothes, a roof over my head, and access to medical care if needed but, not everyone has access to these things. I was homeless at one point in my life and I know how critical having these necessities are. If you would like to donate to me, I encourage you to give to someone who's really in need instead. I'm happy to announce that my videos now have donation buttons to charities that I think can help those less fortunate than us. I have checked these charities out myself and have even donated to them. I do NOT receive anything from these donations. It all goes to charity. If you enjoy my content, I hope you consider donating. God bless!
God bless you to ... I was just like you ,go through a lot after my husband died 😔 Now is 14 years from that. Finally have my please after so long 🙏 I did lost 2 house everything...but God bless me all 14 years that I stay save and in my right way. Love all crafts I never can do. Now I see what you doing ,is going help me a lot. Is beautiful 😍 thank you and stay safe. 🙏
I, too, have been homeless and know what an empty stomach feels like. I also help out a couple who are " hurting ". I do love the fact that you advocate giving to others less fortunate. Knowing this makes me love your creations even more. So, thank you for sharing this with me, and I will be looking for more of your art 🎨 as I now can put a soul, your love, and heart into your creations! Namaste Ruth
I have used my bottles in my yard with stakes and the bottle inverted among my plants, trees and bushes so I think that I will be going outside and gather my bottles and paint them like you demonstrated and maybe take them back outside. Thanks
This is so needed.when I was first starting out working with bottles ...I cried all the time,while making mistake after mistake. You showed up and I've been learning something new ever time you teach a video. I watch a few other crafters,but always come back to you.Thank You Again.....Lori...
Hey Kim, I had you in mind too when I made this because you had mentioned having problems with it. Let me know how it goes okay, you are very welcome hun! :)
DIYNoNeedToCry I sure will! I'm wondering about putting in oven to dry? Have you tried that? I think my main trouble is getting my glue/paint thickness right! Thank you for thinking of me! You make the best videos!!
Thank you so much. I love to decoupage n I do a pretty good job for an old lady. lol! Anyway, I really thank you for the crackle advice. Now, I can do it n feel confident it will work! God bless u n urs. Margie from So MS. 72 yrs young!
I loved this! Two things, the tip about the napkin with the paintbrush to soften the edges and how you explained everything so nicely with the levels of glue etc. No need to apologize because we're all learning... Thank you!
I have to tell you that you explained everything great. And your voice is easy to listen to. You are confident in your explaining the steps. I did this last year for our fair. I got first place but the video I watched made me have to figure a lot out myself. ronnie m wanted to know where to get the napkins, anywhere like target walmart dollar tree, places like that. Thanks for reminding me how to do this and do it the easy way. Here I go again to the county fair. Thanks! I'll keep watching and you keep making, sounds like a plan.
Hello 👋 and thank you! Makes me super happy when my video's are helpful! I got my napkins on Etsy but the seller has sold out. If you google Purple rose paper napkins, you'll find them. Or you could go directly to Etsy and put that same thing in that search bar. Have fun at the fair!! 🤗
Hello again! That sounds awesome. I bet that is going to look so GOOD! Thanks for watching and tag me when you finish because I soooo want to see how that turns out! :)
This was a great video tutorial. I love decoupage but didn't know how. Thanks for all the great tips and not dragging it out. Some RUclipsrs literally make you watch the paint dry! Your bottles are beautiful.
Very pretty and cant wait to try to make one myself.. the paper napkin looks very tricky bit hey ho worth a go. Thank you so much for the video. Your bottles are beautiful. ☺👍
You do one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. You speak clearly but quickly. You show each step and don’t waste time and also address any problems and answer questions as you go. Great job!👏
omg this is gorgeous!! you are inspiring me to craft more. maybe you could do a Christmas one. I want to make one for my mom as a Christmas present this year :)
Hi there Jennifer! That's what I like to hear! I don't celebrate the commercial side of holidays but I could make a winter themed bottle. What do you think?
I MUST CONGRATULATE ON YOUR ACHIEVEMENT AND STRENGTH, I HAVE A 38 YEAR OLD SON WHO'S BEEN ON SAME JOURNEY, YOU ARE INCREDIBLE PEOPLE, HOLD GODS HAND, AND USE YOUR HANDS FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL ART. BOTTLE IS AMAZING. ENJOY YOUR SOBRIETY/LIFE STRENGTH TO YOU. 💜 CAMILLE AUSTRALIA
Hi Camille!! Shout out to Australia! May the Lord continue to bless him with the strength to continue on with his sober life. Thank you for the blessings and encouragement. God bless!! 🙏🤗💖
Your art is amazing and so are you! I'm so proud of you for being alchohol and drug free for the last FIVE YEARS! HURRAY! Keep up the good work and keep going to meetings! Your life is so important to so many, and you are WORTH EVERYTHING GOD HAS TO OFFER! NEVER FORGET THAT! YOU ARE LOVED! I'M PRAYING FOR YOU, SISTER!🙏😇❤❤❤
Lovely bottle. May God continue to bless you and make your wishes come to fruition. I'm proud of you as a person and as an artist. Keep on making crafts. You have a talent!
WOW, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL & ARTISTIC WAY TO UP-CYCLE WINE BOTTLES & AN ARRAY OF OTHER ITEMS JUST NEEDING A FACELIFT!!! ALSO, GREAT IDEAS FOR THE HOLIDAYS, B-DAYS, GET WELL SOON OR "JUST BECAUSE" GIFTS!!! I'M SOOOOO GLAD I FOUND YOU!!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT ELSE YOU HAVE TO SHARE! 💖💖💖💖
I'm having trouble getting the paint to crackle. I'm using generic white glue, not Elmer's. I put down a layer of glue striaght to the glass for the see-through effect. Then I layer the Deco Art acrylic paint on top of the glue. The paint job looks pretty and mixed, but there really aren;t any crackles. I tried using heat from a hair dryer. I tried using fans for cool air. Any suggestions?
Celtic Art Store Hello, make sure to lay the paint over it lightly and don't keep going over it. Try doing thinner layers of paint then try thicker layers of paint and see what happens. Sometimes it's the paint or it could be the glue. Make sure to put air on it immediately after adding the paint. You want the glue to start drying and crack the paint. Keep trying, you'll get it. It has a little bit of a learning curve but I can assure you it's not hard. I've had tons of people do this method with no problem. Hope you get... happy crafting! 🤗
I will try different techniques. Another video suggested wood glue, which is more tacky. I'm just using a blended painting technique that looks great, but does add a bit more paint than usual. Thanks!
I'm getting better results. Because I am using a bit of paint for the mixed-color effect, I found that adding more glue helps. It also helps to let the glue get a little tacky before adding the paint. I do this with a quick blast of low heat from my blow dryer.
I used your glue crackle technique with success. To make my project washable - I'm coating wine jugs for pirates - I coated the crackle effect and decoupaged pirate decorations with 3 coats of dishwasher-safe Mod Podge. Normally, this medium takes 28 days to cure, but I baked it at 325 degrees F (160 C) for 40 minutes. This cured the Mod Podge, making the jug washable. The crackle effect - acrylic paint on glue - did not melt and the tissue paper pirate decoration did not burn. I believe the trick is to thoroughly coat the bottle to seal it. 3 coats is pretty essential, allowing 2 hours of drying time between coats. I put a freshly coated jug in between 2 fans to dry it - which I also use to make the crackle effect. I'm not going to test these jugs in the dishwasher, but I could hand-wash them with soap and warm water with no problem. It's also important to leave clear glass anywhere that will be in contact with food, so my crackle effect begins about 2" below the top of the bottle which leaves a clear neck. Look for Erin Rado or Lady Anne's Chest on Facebook to see my results. Good luck to anyone who wants to try this out! I'll do wine glasses next.
Again, my apologies for taking so long to answer. I've been so busy trying to work on some things and get back to the channel. I'm so happy you figured it out and shared it with all of use. I have pinned your post so others can see in case they want to know how too as well. Thank you so much!
Hi Iveliese good evening! Would you be able to do a bottle using 3 to 4 of my favorite colors? Such as purple, orange, turquoise, and bright rich pink color.
Hey, sorry... been a little busy but, yes I would love to make something with those colors. Do you have anything in particular in mind? Anything you like? It would help me if I had something to go off of. :)
I love plants especially bamboo plants, orchids, roses, and a flower normally found in Mexico I just don't know the name of the flower. You can usually find those flowers pictured in Mexican restaurants - wall art.
Got it, let me see what I can come up with. Thank you for your request, Silvia. I do them in the order I get them unless I have the materials for another one first. I will put this on my list! :)
Thank you for the tutorial! It came out so beautiful and with the purple it’s gorgeous! I subbed and smashed the Bell! I have a channel too if you want to come check it out that would be great ❤️👍❤️
Oh my gosh , congratulations on your Journey, and your recovery .😇❤😘This is amazing how you turned something around to share with others.Your amazing.😊🤗
This is the first time I've watched your channel. You do a great job of teaching. The first time I crackled something was on the roof of a doll house I'd built. The affect of crackling the house was really cool. I was taught using "hide glue" (as in rendered from horses "hide") which furniture makers and upholstered use on furniture. From what I remember hide glue is clear and thick. The sequence is the same. Base coat/hide glue/top coat. The cracking happens when the water in the paint touches the hide glue and causes the cracking. Oil base paint would not cause it to crack because there's no water. Acrylic paint is water based. The cracking with hide glue happens while you're still painting. The cracking is different from Elmer's glue. I liked the cracking affect with hide glue much more. It causes much more cracks that are smaller and consistent throughout the piece. It's really cool. I like the way the bottles turned out. The decoupage was a nice added touch! 👍
Thank you so much for taking the time to show how to crackle! It worked and I'm very excited about creating more things. Your tutorial is great and your bottles are beautiful!!
Wow, this is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your talents. I would cutout the bottom on the bottle and put battery lights in from the bottom of the bottles. I love the flower napkin you chose. ❤️
I'm not one to comment but I must say hands down the best tutorial I have watched on the subject matter. You were descriptive, wonderful camera setup and covered most FAQ. Your delightful personality is the cherry to the cake. Keep up the good work 🥰
Very pretty ! I like they layering of different napkins and paint. Thank you for explaining the technique on how to get a good crackle effect with using the fan or hair dryer to speed dry the bottle.
Your work is amazing! I have never done anything like this but I can assure you I will be making some of these soon. May God continue to bless you with such beautiful talent.
Your video was so awesome. Thank you for not talking about you you you. So refreshing. Thanks for sharing, I can’t wait to share mine with you! You are very creative and very wonderful teacher
Awww, Thank you for the awesome feedback!! To be honest, there're a few reasons why other RUclipsrs don't. First is time, it takes a lot and I mean A LOT of time to create the craft and to have to edit, in this amount of detail, is tons of work, trust me lol! I do it because I really want people to learn but because of this I can't push out a lot of content and I don't get the numbers to match the amount of work I put in. So a lot of other RUclipsrs don't bother or don't have the time. A second reason is that a lot of RUclipsrs don't want to really give away to much as they are afraid that another RUclipsr will use their ideas/technique without giving the proper credit to where credit is due. It's happened to me multiple times LOL! I would love for my channel to grow more for the amount of work I put into it but I rather have a close crafty community that is learning. I have been blessed with some amazing supporters and I couldn't be happier. Again, thank you for the awesome and encouraging feedback! Truly makes it worth it when someone mentions it! God bless! 🙏💖🤗
Hi, I really like your videos and tips. I never knew you could get the crackle effect with Elmer's Glue mixed with water and dried with a fan or blow dryer on cool. I am definitely inspired to try new ideas for my crafting from watching you. Keep up the good work! We women have to stick together!!
Hello, and it's not with water... I never mentioned water... just plain Elmer's glue. I don't want you to try and not get it lol and I agree! We sure do queen! Have a beautifully blessed day! 🙏🤗
Thank you so my husband tried to teach me how to do that and it did not come out you explained it better and it looks great I'm definitely going to try that's a very beautiful bottle
I love this! I use fabrics for decoupage with beautiful results. Love the end result..something pretty and I'm relaxed. Can't wait to see more of your work!! 💞
Very beautiful. Thanks fir sharing your story. I hope all is going well for you and hope that you have inspired others. I will keep you in my prayers.🙏
Thank you hun! I watch you all the time too! You have very good ideas and I love your creativity and that you are not afraid to try! It does look like that LOL!
Thank you so much! I'm going to do this for my son's wedding table centerpieces! He's having a black gothic style wedding and finding decorations in this color scheme and style for a May wedding is IMPOSSIBLE!
Never heard of this before. After watching your video , with great instructions thank you for that. I am going to try and make these cracked bottles. Many thanks.
Thank you, I was not able to achieve that particular crackling look because I was using my hairdryer at hot, so I'm going to try with the regular fan. Love your bootle.
I first saw this crackling on wood and I thought it would be neat to make it on a bottle. I then saw someone do this method on wood and I wondered if it could be done on a bottle... so I tried. 🤗

Hello, Deb, these are not waterproof so that might not be a good idea unless you have a sealer that can withstand the weather. :)
Deb Morris you can weather proof it by using a marine top coat, can't remember the name but it's used to protect things from rain.
This is so needed.when I was first starting out working with bottles ...I cried all the time,while making mistake after mistake. You showed up and I've been learning something new ever time you teach a video. I watch a few other crafters,but always come back to you.Thank You Again.....Lori...

Yes!! That would look so cool! Great idea! :)
I love those bottles!! Great work!! God Bless you!!

I’m doing my dining room and kitchen with wine bottles. Awesome diy thanks so much
Your hints on technique are very good and clear. We all learn from our mistakes. Looks like fun and the results are stunning.
Just wanted to say that you art work is inspirational.
Very nice love it you nailed it.
Thank you! :)

Your video was so awesome. Thank you for not talking about you you you. So refreshing. Thanks for sharing, I can’t wait to share mine with you! You are very creative and very wonderful teacher
So cool. I love the combination of cracked paint and decoupage. Very pretty and nicely explained.
Thank you, I wasn't a big fan when I first started doing this combination but it has grown on me lol! 🤗
Bem bacana a sua garrafa luminária que você fez😊😊😊eu adorei ficou muito linda mesmo😍😍😍 parabéns por ter feito isso continue assim 😉😉 😉.
I wish more ppl would do their videos how you do them. Perfectly done 💜
Awww, Thank you for the awesome feedback!! To be honest, there're a few reasons why other RUclipsrs don't. First is time, it takes a lot and I mean A LOT of time to create the craft and to have to edit, in this amount of detail, is tons of work, trust me lol! I do it because I really want people to learn but because of this I can't push out a lot of content and I don't get the numbers to match the amount of work I put in. So a lot of other RUclipsrs don't bother or don't have the time. A second reason is that a lot of RUclipsrs don't want to really give away to much as they are afraid that another RUclipsr will use their ideas/technique without giving the proper credit to where credit is due. It's happened to me multiple times LOL! I would love for my channel to grow more for the amount of work I put into it but I rather have a close crafty community that is learning. I have been blessed with some amazing supporters and I couldn't be happier. Again, thank you for the awesome and encouraging feedback! Truly makes it worth it when someone mentions it! God bless! 🙏💖🤗
Your step by step details are so helpful.
You are so good at explaining how to do your projects!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you!! 🤗🙏🏼
Just beautiful I will never throw a bottle in the recycle again
I love that purple bottle. I so want to try this.
Hi, I really like your videos and tips. I never knew you could get the crackle effect with Elmer's Glue mixed with water and dried with a fan or blow dryer on cool. I am definitely inspired to try new ideas for my crafting from watching you. Keep up the good work! We women have to stick together!!
Hello, and it's not with water... I never mentioned water... just plain Elmer's glue. I don't want you to try and not get it lol and I agree! We sure do queen! Have a beautifully blessed day! 🙏🤗
Thank you so my husband tried to teach me how to do that and it did not come out you explained it better and it looks great I'm definitely going to try that's a very beautiful bottle

Hi, I use regular glue then paint for cracking and I give it Brazilian, I'm your fan❤😊
Your tutorials are very good ! I'm completely hooked to your channel. This reminds me of the crackle nail polish. Loved the finished look !
Thank you hun! I watch you all the time too! You have very good ideas and I love your creativity and that you are not afraid to try! It does look like that LOL!
Thank you so much! I'm going to do this for my son's wedding table centerpieces! He's having a black gothic style wedding and finding decorations in this color scheme and style for a May wedding is IMPOSSIBLE!
Mine is the same but on Halloween...totally agree I will be making decor for the next few months
Never heard of this before.
After watching your video , with great instructions thank you for that.
I am going to try and make these cracked bottles.
Many thanks.

WOW THAT IS SO NICE
Hi Chii, thank you! :)
Girl, these bottles are gorgeous. GREAT JOB!!!!!!
Thank you!! 🙏💖🤗
Beautiful bottle
I wanted to ask you If we can do the same technique on Wood ?
Hello, Donna... you absolutely can! That's where I got the idea from. This is a technique used on wood and I tried it on a glass bottle lol.
Thank you, I was not able to achieve that particular crackling look because I was using my hairdryer at hot, so I'm going to try with the regular fan. Love your bootle.
How did it turn out?
The Bottle turned out Beautiful
Out of curiosity what made you decide to use glue as a means of crackling your project as opposed to a crackle medium?
💗🤗
I first saw this crackling on wood and I thought it would be neat to make it on a bottle. I then saw someone do this method on wood and I wondered if it could be done on a bottle... so I tried. 🤗
