Apple Barrel Crate, Frame, & Painted Pot

Instructions

1. Choose two Apple Barrel colors, one for the interior and a second one for the exterior of the wood crate.  We chose Pink Parfait and Caribbean.  Using a 1” foam brush, paint the unfinished wood and allow to dry.  Once dry, sand all surfaces smooth and then reapply a second coat of paint.  Let dry.

1. For an accent, paint a triangle shape on the lower left portion of the frame by taping off that corner.Using a 1” foam brush loaded with Spring Green, paint the triangle shaped area and allow to dry.  Sand smooth and reapply Spring Green for a second opaque coat.  Allow to dry.
2. On the unfinished section of the wood frame, paint an overall pattern of round flowers.  The red flowers are painted Bright Red, shaded with a mix of Bright Red and Black to create a burgundy color and highlighted with Pink Parfait.  The pink flowers are painted Pink Parfait and shaded with Bright Magenta and highlighted with a mix of White plus Pink Parfait.  The centers are painted Black.
3. Add a few accents of Spring Green leaves here and there.

1. The triangle design of the flower pot is painted yellow and pink alternating trianglesusing Bright Yellow and Pink Parfait.  When dry, add a White stripe between each triangle shape.
