Print Project

Step 1

Start by painting a thin coat of white paint over the front of the ornamental piece to help seal the wood and prevent bleeding across the brown pattern lines.

Step 2

Paint the main areas first and let them dry.
TIP: This will take several coats of paint especially if you are using the metallic paints as they provide a shimmer but are more translucent.

Step 3

Using a fine tip paintbrush, add the details. Let dry and if needed paint a second coat.

Step 4

Turn on the lights and decorate as desired.
