Ingredients
  

  • Wooden trinket box
  • DecoArt Designer Finishes in Salt Wash Farmhouse
  • Americana Acrylics in Desert Turquoise
  • 1" flat Paintbrush and fine tip for touch ups
  • Painter’s tape ½” to 1” wide
  • Sandpaper if needed

Instructions
 

  • Remove the clear glass from the trinket box and put aside for time being.
  • Sand any rough edges on the wooden box.
  • Use painter’s tape to cover the latch on the box to keep it from getting painted.
  • For the basecoat, paint the surface of the wooden trinket box in Grey Sky and let it dry.
  • Mix 1:1 Grey Sky and Texture Sand Medium. Brush onto the surface leaving parts of the baseboat showing. Leave the paint to dry fully.
  • Load the brush with Vintage Effect Grey and lightly brush in random areas. Leave the paint to dry fully.
  • Load the brush with Vintage Effect White and lightly brush in random areas. Leave the paint to dry fully.
  • Lift the lid and apply strips of painter’s tape over the opening edges of the box.
  • Apply a solid coat of Desert Turquoise to the inside of the trinket box and drawer for a pop of color. Leave the paint to dry fully.
  • Remove the painter’s tape and replace the glass to finish.
