INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Clean the rug thoroughly with glass cleaner.
- Print the provided stencil patterns onto cardstock. Cut the stencil with a craft knife. Trim the stencil so that there is an even 1" border all the way around it. Optional: Cut as many of these as needed to map out the design.
- Spray the back of the stencil with an all-purpose spray adhesive. Let dry until slightly tacky.
- Position the stencil and firmly press into the rug. With a 1" pouncer, apply Timeless to the stencil. While wet, carefully remove the stencil. Repeat randomly around the surface with the same color, spacing out between to allow for more colored leaves.
- Repeat the previous step with Treasure, Cameo, Enchanted, and Legacy.
- Cut out different-sized circles from the pattern.
- With the stencil, randomly apply circles in New Life with a pouncer around the leaf shapes.
- With the Waxing and Finishing Brush, apply Americana Decor Clear Crème Wax to the entire surface.
- With the Waxing and Finishing Brush, apply Americana Decor Deep Brown Crème Wax to the entire rug. Allow 14 days for drying time.
- Once completely dry, cover the entire rug in Light Satin Varnish. Let dry completely.
