Supplies
Tools
- Containers and spoons for the mixtures.
- Washing up sponge cut into pieces or foam stamp.
Materials
- Transparent plastic balls
- Glaze to crackle
- Cracking agent (essential for creating the crackling effect)

Directions
-
Apply the glaze to crackle the ball, using a piece of dry sponge and starting at the center. A small amount will be enough.
-
Wait until it is completely dry.
-
Prepare a mixture with 2 doses of raspberry patina and 1 dose of cracking agent.

Apply it on the inside of the ball with a sponge, tapping gently (don't apply it by sweeping the sponge across the ball). The more of the mixture you put on, the bigger cracks you get.

Wait until it's completely dry.
