Coffee stirrer sticks. I've use some from Starbucks. But you can use any kind of wood you desire.

Stain the coffee stirrer sticks. By dipping them in indian ink solution or use some oil washs to achieve the stain desired.

Let the wood stain dry completely, otherwise you'll get the wood moist and not ready for the next layer of paint.

Apply a first thin coat of acrylic paint. In this case I use TAMIYA,Inc.Tamiya XF-20, but essentially any acrylics will do.

Gently give some scratches using a wire brush. You also can enforce the effect of the wood grains using this method in the early stages of the wood.

This how should look after some scratches with the wire brush.

Step 7: 

Apply some hairspray to seal it off.

Give a thick second coat of lighter color using acrylics. I use here Tamiya XF-2.TAMIYA,Inc.

By using a masking tape I peel off the paint to give some crackles and peeled effect. To make this right you need to be quick while the painting is drying out.

Step 10: 

Here how it should look after peeling.

Step 11: 

Using a sponge I start to add the final layer of color also using acrylics but this time using Acrylicos Vallejo and the same process of peeling I make the blue patterns.

This is how should look after all colors applied.

Rusty washes are giving on the edges and metal parts.
