Project Steps
Step 1
Prepare your surface with a drop cloth or Kraft paper.
Step 2
Fill a 5-gallon bucket with lukewarm water (78 degrees) for best results.
Step 3
Slowly pour enamel paints into the water, one bottle at a time until the desired color is achieved.
Step 4
Use a stir stick to gently swirl the paints in the bucket to form a unique pattern.
notE: Do not stir the paint into the water, gently drag the paint into a cool pattern on top of the water.
Step 5
At a slight angle, slowly dip the wood frame into the paint and water until completely submerged.
Step 6
Slowly remove the frame from the water making sure paint adheres to the frame.
Step 7
Set the frame aside to dry for approximately 1 hour to the touch, and approximately 24 hours to use.
