The barnacles were actually super easy.

You will need:
- Silicone caulking and a caulking gun.
- A cake decorating tip (The one I used is the bottom left one in this image: [link] The largest of the sunburst tips)
- Masking tape
- A non-mechanical Pencil with unused eraser
-A dish of water.

Cut the tip off of the caulk tube and tape the cake decorating bit to the tip of the caulking tube. Use a lot of tape otherwise you'll have caulking come out of everywhere, and it'd be a big mess.

Carefully make the best little round dollop of caulk onto your fabric. That image I linked you to for the cake decorating tips has exactly the type of dollop you want. Round with no squiggles or elongated bits. If it's a little blobish, don't freak. It'll be fine.

Now that you have a wet blob of caulk on your fabric, take the pencil, and dip the unused eraser in water. Shake of the excess, and push the eraser gently in the middle of the blob. Pull it out, and voila! Empty barnacle.

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. I went through a couple of tubes of caulk to get the Davy Jones results I did.

After everything is dry (wait at least 24 hours), you can do painting techniques to make them look more aged. I just mixed some marbelly looking grey paint and dry brushed the barnacles. The paint job wasn't great, but I just wanted to highlight the ridges of each barnacle.

It sounds like a lot, but it's super easy Hope that helps!

ALSO: I spray painted my fabric a bit to make it look aged. DO NOT DO THIS. The spray paint leaves dust that will prevent the barnacles from sticking. If you can wash your fabric before applying, that'd probably be best.

I have sketches for you!!!!!! It took me for-f'ing-ever, but I sketched out everyone chibi style for approval! Some are better than others, and I forgot what shoes people were wearing, but I've got sketches!
