TECHNIQUE
- Prep bare wood by sanding. Clean surface with tack cloth.
- Spray Home Décor Stain close to the box surface until wet and glossy. Quickly wipe the stain into the wood grain with cloth, removing the excess. Let dry (3-5 minutes).
- Now spraying approx. 12" from surface evenly apply an additional light coat of stain. Let dry.
- Create a pattern by masking areas with tape, making sure edges are pressed firmly. Apply more coats of stain on the exposed wood as in Step 3 until the desired contrast is achieved. Allow stain to dry between coats. The more coats applied, the deeper the color - you choose the color intensity.
- Repeat Step 2 on box lid. Then apply additional coats of stain as in Step 3 until desired color is achieved.
- Evenly spray several coats of Clear Finish GLOSS on box lid (we applied 4 coats). Let dry between coats.
- Add trims to decorate. (Option 1) Hammer silver studs into wood. Use a soft cloth over studs to protect from scratching. (Option 2) Spray TACK 2000 on backside of skeletal leaves and adhere to box. Paint lid sides with silver paint pen, using a circular pattern to fill in.
- Glue knobs on lid.
