INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Prep the stairs by sanding and/or by filling holes with wood putty. (Amount of prep will depend on condition of the steps.) Clean away sanding dust and allow putty to dry before painting.
  2. Create a "rainbow" of colors for the staircase. (See attached pattern for rainbow of seven colors used twice on a 14-step stairway.) Paint each step a different color and repeat as necessary.
