aged wood

Hello everyone!  I’m ecstatic that I get to be a guest today and mingle with fellow Craftaholics.  Thanks Linda!  My name is Janny and you can normally find me at Que Linda or at my new Etsy Shop.  Today I’m going to show an amazing technique for giving wood a rustic, aged look. I recently made this sign out of wood from our 20+ year old gate.  Something about the weathered wood gives the piece extra character.  There’s one problem- our old gate only has so much to give.  I came across a tutorial for aged wood for home repair purposes at Xtreme

Mod Podge peels off after washing them.  So I went on a quest to find a permanent solution to tint my fave glass jars to lovely shades of blue and turquoise……   You probably remember this image from yesterday’s Flower Lid tutorial.
