Step 10Finish distressing the wand
Wipe off the paint as you go along. Use a damp cloth or piece of kitchen towel. Dab and wipe, if you are not happy with the effect paint over and wipe more. What you are trying to achieve is the natural look of grim and aging that collects in the cracks and corners.
You won't be able to wipe all the paint off and some will collect in the corners round the glue gun glue and this will make it look really old.
Work on the handle area, in real life handles get worn more so will be shinier and have less dark areas. Go with the flow look at the work and wipe and paint until you are happy with the results.
Don't be afraid to go back a stage and add more lighter colours and then repeat the distressing if you want to get the right effect. Always wait till the previous layer is dry. If you use acrylic you can do this as many times as you want. But you only need to really do it once.
