INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Lightly sand any rough edges of the unfinished crate. Wipe off dust with paper towel.
- Paint two coats of Everlasting to the inside and outside of the crate. Let dry between coats.
- Place the fleur de lis from the Traditional Medallion Stencil in the desired position. Using a stencil brush, apply Relic. (Use tape, if needed, to hold the stencil in place.) Repeat the stencil the desired number of times.
- Lightly sand over the stenciled design to create a distressed look. Sand the outside edges and corners of the crate so some the natural wood shows through. Wipe off dust with a paper towel.
