INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Lightly sand the edges and any rough spots on the unfinished wood crate. Remove any dust with a paper towel.
- Use painter's tape to mark of a desired design to be painted on the unfinished wood crate. Shown: Diagonally across crate side.
- Using a foam brush, apply Coral Sunset, Coastal Surf, and Deep Buttercup to surface in desired pattern.
- On the short, handled sides of the crate, apply a coat of Chalkboard paint in one direction. Once that has dried completely, go over with a second coat in the opposite, perpendicular direction (this will create a cross-hatch pattern). Set aside to dry.
- Using #5 round brush, apply Shrimp, Turquoise Waters, Canary, and Apple Green in random designs on each of the six cans. Include polka dots, zig zags, and stripes. Optionally: paint frisbee as desired.
- Once Chalkboard paint has fully dried, run a piece of chalk on its side on paint to help season the finish. Wipe away chalk with a paper towel.
