Instructions
- Step 1:To create a raised design, place your stencil down in the centre of the frame and secure it with masking tape. Spread the Skim over the stencil using the scraper. Once you’ve covered the stencil peel it off, If there are any smudge marks just remove it with a wet cloth or use a toothpick to straighten the edges while skim is still wet.
- Step 2: Before you paint the frame, use your finger to apply Vaseline to the edges of your frame where normal wear and tear would happen. This will create a more natural vintage look, this is a very easy way of distressing furniture.
- Step 3:Now paint your frame in Island Blue, covering the areas where you applied the Vaseline too.
- Step 4:Once it is dry, remove the paint with a scraper where you applied the Vaseline to create a distressed vintage look.
- Step 5:To finish the project seal the frame with Clear Liquid Wax, applying it using a cotton cloth.
