How To Upcycle a Wood Wine Box:
Step 1: Clean the surface thoroughly
The first step to any makeover is always to clean the piece properly before starting. We use White Lightning on pretty much everything as it does a good job of removing dirt, grime, oils etc. so you have a clean surface.
Step 2: Lay down your base color first
For the base, I used this blue Terra Clay Paint called Lani’s Lagoon. I used my mister bottle to thin out the paint before applying the first coat with a Premium Chip Brush. I chose this brush because it’s good for getting down into the nooks and crannies
Step 3: Apply a second coat of paint
I waited 2 hours for the first coat to dry, then added my second coat.
Step 4: Dab another color for contrast and visual interest
To create some optional texture, I added Malachite Terra Clay Paint by dabbing the green onto the piece using the same premium chip brush I used for the Lani’s Lagoon.
Step 5: Reactivate the clay paint with a water mister and dab dry
I used my mister bottle to spray the wet paint to reactivate so it’s easier to move the paint around. I then dabbed at it with a shop towel until I got my desired look.
Step 6: Add your bling
Next, I added a transfer to the grooved wood of the wine box using the Embroidered Lotus Transfer.
Step 7: Seal to protect the finish
Lastly, I protected my piece with Terra Seal by applying 2 coats.
