instructions

Basecoat the three blocks with Castle, Sheepskin and White Adirondack. Allow to dry.
Tranfer the pattern to blocks. Resize tree to fit each block.
Paint the trunk of the tree starting at the top of the tree all the way to the bottom of the block with Java.
Dip only the end of the 3/4" flat brush into Rich Black. Begin pouncing the black at an angle down the tree trunk to begin forming branches leaving space in between.
Mix a small amount of Rich Black into the Irish to make a darker green. Repeat step 4 with green.
Repeat step 4 with just Irish.
Add White Adirondack where snow might land on the tree branches.
Pour some Rich Black to a plate. Dip the flat side of layering block into paint and then remove any excess onto a paper towel. Lightly glide the block along the block and the edges of the block to achieve distressed look. Don't be too heavy handed. It only takes a little to get the effect.

Can FolkArt Home Decor Texture Chalk be used on outdoor surfaces?

No, FolkArt Home Decor Texture Chalk is for indoor use only.

Do I need to seal my project? If so, should I use Clear Wax or Varnish?

Yes, it is highly recommended that you seal your project to ensure maximum protection.

Use Wax to achieve a soft, smooth finish with your choice of Clear, Antique or White. Wax should be applied every 6-12 months or as needed for high traffic surfaces. It is for indoor use only. An alternative to Wax is Matte Varnish. Use this on heavily used furniture. It can be used for indoor or outdoor projects.
