    1. Lightly sand the edges and any rough spots on the unfinished wood crate. Remove any dust with a paper towel.

    4. Using a foam brush, apply Coral Sunset, Coastal Surf, and Deep Buttercup to surface in desired pattern.
    5. Instruction #3
    6. 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.
