The paint is versatile enough to work well on many different kinds of surfaces as well as working to deeply stain the wood to create the marbled effect. Get tutorial here
Unicorn Spit Desk
Unicorn spit can work well with an item of furniture that is slightly magical to begin with.

A desk isn't just a functional piece of furniture but somewhere important to create and design, so should look the part. Get tutorial here
