DIY Ombre Wood Block Candlesticks
Create a dramatic ombre effect on cool wooden candlesticks with FolkArt Watercolor Gelz

Instructions

  1. Pour a small amount of Pinkberry into a foam bowl.
  2. Load paintbrush with Pinkberry. Brush the paint onto the wood beginning at the bottom. Brush the surface horizontally working the brush upwards toward the top of the block. NOTE: Keep the coats thicker at the base and lighten as it reaches the top of the block. Repeat this process on the remaining sides.
  3. Continue painting the second block candlestick in the same manner using Peach Pop. Allow to dry.
  4. To seal and protect, apply a coat of FolkArt Ultra Dye Satin Varnish to all four sides and the top of the square block candlesticks. Allow to dry and completely cure before using.

TIPS

  • Repeat the paint application if a more intense color is desired especially at the base of the Ombre.
  • For a professional look, horizontally try to match the color application on each side.
