INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- If needed, sand the crate and wipe clean. Paint the inside of the crate in Timeless.
- Tape off the raised areas on the crate; paint the rest of the outside in Timeless.
- Use painter's tape to mask off just the raised areas on the crate. Use your finger to smooth the edges down so paint doesn't get underneath the tape.
- Paint one coat of Rustic, followed by a very rough coat of Enchanted.
- Apply Rouge sporadically over the Rustic/Enchanted areas.
- Finish with a light coat of Rustic, dry-brushed on top.
- Remove the painter's tape and let dry.
- Apply painter's tape around the hardware. Paint the hardware with a combination of Rustic, Enchanted, and Rouge to achieve a faux rust look.
- Measure the Olde Worlde map paper for the outside areas painted with Timeless. Cut out and double check that the map paper fits the spaces properly.
- Brush Antique Paper Decou-Page onto one of the Timeless-painted areas. With fingers, gently press the cut-out Olde Worlde map paper from the center toward the ends working out any wrinkles. Apply a coat of Decou-Page on top of the paper.
