 We just used Elmer's glue to make this crackle paint to help us make these Giant chest pieces for some game room art and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up a welcome back? Do you like to do a builder to make it? So do we? And we have a new video each week this week. We're making some giant chest pieces with some chippy paint Yeah, so we've been requested to make some game room art This is gonna be a gift this holiday season. So we're gonna show you guys how we're gonna take this canvas Using this chippy paint technique and make some amazing wall art with some giant chest pieces. Yes They're gonna feel really royal Step one we're gonna gather all of our supplies. We need a large canvas. We have two of these 24 by 36 inches and we're using this one that says level one It does have this cross brace in the back So I think it's gonna do a great job Holding the MDF and the weight of the MDF. We looked at the heavy-duty canvases But they were like twice the price. Yeah, and I didn't think we needed that So we're gonna go with this level one version. We needed some quarter-inch MDF This is what we're gonna make our giant chest pieces out of we're gonna need some Elmer's glue. I know you have some at home from that slime that you made So it'll be perfect for this paint technique that will be like three colors of paint and some liquid nails to put the Chest piece onto the canvas now liquid nails is a brand. We're gonna use this Gorilla glue heavy-duty construction adhesive same things. I think this is really gonna keep these chess pieces on this canvas Step two, we're gonna make all of our cuts. I'm gonna bring this quarter-inch MDF over to our 80 watt OM tech laser and we're gonna cut out our chest pieces And I use 10 millimeters per second at 75% power The bed on the OM tech laser is 24 by 36. So these pieces fit in there just fine Great Look at that. They're beautiful. I can't wait to see them on the canvas. Oh, yeah step three Now we paint but not with this brush not yet. We're gonna first put a base coat down on our canvas We're gonna use that crackle finish So what we want to do is have contrasting colors with our top pink coat and our base pink coat So we're gonna this one's gonna have an overall white finish at the end So we're gonna put some black down on the base. We're gonna add some red We're gonna give it a cool kind of dimensional feel. Yes between that crackle finish We're gonna start since we've got to cover the whole canvas We're gonna roll this black on this base coat on then we're gonna come back and add our red So don't be shy with this paint because we've got a lot of surface area to cover here Now that our canvas is dry We're gonna add the red. We're just gonna go ahead and use this roller that we have because it's already wet And we just want to add some spaces on here. This doesn't need to be thick We just want to cover some of the surface not all of it with some red streaks Time for the Elmer's glue Yeah We're just gonna roll some of this Elmer's glue all over the front of this thing Oh, maybe on the sides of this thing. So what we're looking for here is a Medium thickness of glue it doesn't need to be full of glue and it doesn't you don't want it too light We're going to paint over this while it's wet So instead of using a foam roller, we're gonna use this nappy roller It holds a little more paint and in this case glue and I feel like I can cover a large surface area at one time So great. Yeah, I think I can see on the camera there that you can See that I'm putting a nice like medium thickness Coat of glue Okay, and you guys see that Now we have to work quickly While this is wet go ahead introduce step five Step five time for the top coat. We're just gonna brush on the white and we're gonna try to keep the brush strokes going vertically now this is This is what makes this technique work The fact that you're using the brush and you're using the brush strokes. So just like that. That's good You're gonna want this one also kind of a medium thickness. You want a nice thick coat of paint You don't want it too soupy, but you want it thick enough that it will have enough paint to crackle as it dries Moving on Okay, yeah It's wet. We're gonna use a hairdryer to dry it. This will crackle naturally But you know us we don't have that kind of patience. So we're gonna go ahead and dry it Speak right step six time to paint the king We're just gonna roll in with the black paint no special technique. I'm on the actual pieces Just solid color. Yep. We're just want them to be Like their own statement piece While the king is drawing we're gonna move on to the queen. We're gonna do her in opposite colors We're gonna do a white backer with a black top coat Second verse same as the first but opposite. That's right. We're gonna start with our base coat We're gonna add the red underneath in this one to glue black paint Let's do it Seven time to assemble it. We're gonna use that gorilla glue construction adhesive liquid nails that way We know it won't move. We're gonna throw it on the back of the king Flip them over press them down We'll do the same with the queen. It's looking so good. I'm so excited Pretty big. He's been is our big checkmate. Yeah, they look beautiful. They are such a statement piece in a game room Yeah, I really like how the white crackle came through. Yeah, I mean it looks it doesn't even look like this is on canvas No, this is I can't we're gonna do more with this. Yeah, we're gonna do. Yeah I love this Elmer's glue thing and I have another version of this the try that's gonna look a little bit like leather And I have a crocodile one So we got some fun paint techniques coming up here at the beginning of the year, but these These look beautiful. Yeah, I mean so cool. These are really gonna make a statement exactly what We wanted I think this is perfect Yeah, but I think that red looks lighter than this red even though it's the same red Yes, I can see that too I think this red is on that black base And so it comes out as a much darker red and this red is on the white base And so it's keeping that red pop So to make these reds the same I would keep that as it is. I love that color Except we I would use a darker red here because This has this just gets darker on the black. Yeah, so I agree That's my little lesson learned there, but other than that it came out exactly as planned Yeah, exactly as we envisioned it. Exactly how they go So and you know who else goes exactly as planned? patrons Big thanks to all of our patrons. We love you guys This week's the zoom call. Yeah Yeah Jason had to keep me straight All right, so we're about out of time.
