INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES:

Let dry completely between painting steps.

1. Sand the crate to remove any rough edges. Wipe any dust away with a damp paper towel.

2. Paint the side slats of the crate with Cotton Ball using a 1/2" flat brush. Paint the rest of the crate with a thin coat of Bittersweet, allowing the wood grain to show through. If too much paint is applied, use a paper towel to wipe back the paint.

3. Measure and cut the triangle paper from Americana Gold Stag Decou-Page Paper. Apply a coat of Americana Matte Decou-Page to the crate, position the paper, and apply Decou-Page on top. Remove any wrinkles with a finger.

4. Cut out two of the large stag heads from the Decou-Page Paper. Decoupage each head onto the ends of the crate.

5. Transfer the pattern to the crate using transfer paper and a pencil. Using a #3 round brush, paint in foliage with Gold (Metallic).
6. Paint the four half-circle wooden shapes in Gold (Metallic). Let dry. Once dry, use E6000 Glue to adhere onto the bottom corners of the crate. (Refer to photo.)
