THE ART OF WET DISTRESSING tutorial

 
You dont have to use sand paper to give your furniture project a
distressed and worn look if you use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.
 
 
This look can be achieved with a damp kitchen sponge.

 
Start by painting your project with your color choice of ASCP.
Once dry, grab a damp sponge and clean rag.
 
NOTE:
**2 sided sponge / scrubbies work best for this**
**just dampen your sponge do NOT have it dripping wet**
 
 
Working in small sections (like this leg) wipe your dried paint with the damp sponge.
The chalk paint is going to absorb the water and start to soften.
 
 
Now take the scrubby side and wiping over the same area.
Be gentle with this step, the softened areas will start to lift.

 
Take a rag and remove any excess paint haze and dry the area you just worked.

 
You are ready to wax now.

 
You can also take this opportunety to clean your floor.

 
Its really simple to do, no scrubbing, sanding, or dust,
you are letting the water do most of the work for you.
