INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Allow paint to fully dry in between steps.
- Paint the wooden crates with a coat of Driftwood. Let dry.
- Once the crates are dry, download and print out the floral pattern. Layer the pattern on top of a piece of carbon or transfer paper onto the crate and trace the pattern with a pencil to transfer the design.
- Mix both Coral Blush and Black Plum 50/50 with Warm White to get lighter tones. Use a #3 round brush to paint in the designs. (See photo for color placement.)
- Once the shape is dry, use a 1" angular brush to add details to the flowers using Black Plum and Coral Blush. Let dry and use 1" angular brush and Hauser Light Green for the leaves.
- Use a 1" angular brush to apply Champagne Starburst on the corners to add a hint of glamour.
HELPFUL HINTS
Have a jar of water on hand to place your paintbrushes while you're working so that they don't dry out. Keep a paper towel handy to dry them off on when it's time to use them again.
