INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Lightly sand any rough edges of the wooden pallet. Remove any dust with a damp paper towel.
- Paint the front, back, and edges of the pallet with Pinecone Brown using a 2" chip brush. Work the paint into the surface by continuously brushing the paint into the surface until it is opaque.
- Paint a rough, dry-brush coat of Sprout Green over the front and back of the pallet, purposefully letting the Pinecone Brown show through.
- Position the wooden letters onto the pallet to determine the placement of the painted ornaments. Do not adhere down.
- Trace circles in various spots on the pallet using a round plastic lid of choice. (Pay attention to where the letters will be placed and include partial circles at the edges as desired.)
- Paint the circles with two coats of Pinecone Brown, Geranium Red, Desert Turquoise, and Citrus Green using a 1" angle brush.
- Use painter's tape to mask a section of the Americana Jacobean Floral Stencil on top of one of the painted circles. Stencil the design onto the circle using Splendid Gold (Metallic) and a 1/2" stencil brush.
- Repeat the stenciling for each of the painted circles, including the partial ones. (Vary the placement of the stencil over each circle for visual interest.)
- Lightly sand any rough edges of the wooden letters. Remove any dust with a damp paper towel.
- With a chip brush, paint the letters with two coats of Geranium Red.
- Paint a rough, dry-brush coat of Pinecone Brown over the front and edges of each letter, purposefully letting the Geranium Red show through. Distress each letter further by lightly dry-brushing Pinecone Brown with the side of the brush along all of the edges.
- Position the letters and attach each one to the pallet using E6000 Glue.
