INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES: Read the instructions completely before beginning the project. Let dry completely between painting steps.

1. Sand the surface of the wooden round with fine grit sandpaper and wipe clean with a soft cloth.
2. Use a 2" flat brush to paint the wooden round with Vintage. Let dry. When dry, sand lightly. (Helpful Hint: Always sand in the direction of the woodgrain.) Remove sanding dust.
3. Position the Posh Pineapple stencil on the wooden round and secure with painter's tape.
4. Use a stencil brush or cosmetic sponge to apply Everlasting over the stencil. Remove the stencil.
5. Position, trace, and transfer the pattern. Use a round brush and Everlasting to paint the lettering. Let dry.
6. When dry, drag sandpaper very lightly across the surface randomly and around the edges to give an aged appearance.
7. Use a soft cloth to remove any dust.
8. Use a 2" flat brush to apply Soft-Touch Varnish.
9. Position and attach the handles with a screwdriver.
10. Optional: Cut circles out of a sheet of self-adhesive felt. Position and apply the felt adhesive pads on the back side of the tray.
