Hubby built me a blanket ladder and for weeks I tried to figure out what to do with it. So I decided that I would use this new product I discovered called Unicorn Spit. Raw wood is what I started with. I sanded everything all smooth and then wiped it down really good to get rid of the dust and let it dry out completely.
Then I took a little of the Unicorn Spit (US) and watered it down like watercolor paint. Then I just kinda slapped it on there and used my fingers to smooth it all out.
It ended up looking like this. Kinda rainbow colors. I liked it and I thought it was pretty but just a little bright for my living room. So...
I grabbed some stain and just lightly rubbed it on there with a paper towel right over the colors. I wasn't sure how it would turn out but I really like it!
It muted the colors. I actually had to take it outside to be able to see the US under the stain.
It's there but not there.
Isn't that beautiful! I love how that turned out! I sealed it with polycrylic and used 2 coats and let it dry for about a week.
It looks like a stained blanket ladder when in the house... until you open the curtains, then you can see the colors underneath. I love it! I will be using this technique with more items!!!
