My boys love counting down the days with the many Advent Calendars we have around the house. Several of them I've made over the years, but this one is definitely my favorite. Maybe its because everytime I look at it I think of the fun night I had chatting and sneaking treats with my two chicks Lori and Pauliene. There are no calories in chocolate when you eat it while giggling with girlfriends! LOL<br /><br />We used some watchmaker tins and scrapbook papers and supplies to make these festive calendars. I had an old magnet board that I use to hang and display mine one. It was easy to just glue magnets on the back of the tins. The girls came up with a great idea of displaying the tins in a large tray on their coffee tables. Either way, all our kids love opening those tins everyday up to Christmas Eve!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG7bgQLzyJ4frypnt1aH9HVoNCV7Hd70y6sS7_Qjg6p7Xx63N6RkEen8k0FIqRhVTDNeOzdGEc8sMC6BMqUf6MsDm_UAgTHuwJuSZmScZJ4s45PokP_7a5-FXKjsKfmaxIHgYm50Tahyly/s1600-h/advent1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277301025289397714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 348px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG7bgQLzyJ4frypnt1aH9HVoNCV7Hd70y6sS7_Qjg6p7Xx63N6RkEen8k0FIqRhVTDNeOzdGEc8sMC6BMqUf6MsDm_UAgTHuwJuSZmScZJ4s45PokP_7a5-FXKjsKfmaxIHgYm50Tahyly/s400/advent1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div>Marniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02638231980213023664noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231827401690725110.post-26617072351405889482008-04-12T09:28:00.000-07:002008-04-12T09:32:01.121-07:00Altered Tin Storage Buckets<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqUYCHJdK_Q0OUK-uvTSTZgCWO9c_P1ORNe-iN67BPUupwO1gGcuWXCHa5bxLm2_sgcUQVJ4METAXMYlMJfOWXKs6UPLHDljVVq2YF5_4xwolpfprg0mh6u-NSZAYyOb6gWLDZ5-9_GyPa/s1600-h/TinBucket5.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqUYCHJdK_Q0OUK-uvTSTZgCWO9c_P1ORNe-iN67BPUupwO1gGcuWXCHa5bxLm2_sgcUQVJ4METAXMYlMJfOWXKs6UPLHDljVVq2YF5_4xwolpfprg0mh6u-NSZAYyOb6gWLDZ5-9_GyPa/s320/TinBucket5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188397249470349618" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Supplies needed:<br />Tin bucket (the buckets and hanging system shown here was purchased at IKEA)<br />plain white paper (you can tape several pieces together if needed for larger tins)<br />printed scrapbook paper<br />pencil<br />scissors<br />glue (a craft glue stick was used for this project.

Use your pencil to draw a line at the top and bottom of your bucket as you slowly roll it across the page. Be careful not to shift the bucket while drawing. Continue rolling and drawing until you've traced around the entire bucket with a little overlapping. You will end up with two arches.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaPEP_iA3zSYwRXk6lNN2OGns3kcuZLibWt0outxESc79Wv10rpevaR_ilYlNggs-gwNoY-N1LVcGcLKLT8JrIuIw9QNzIUlZoXcZREbYLKCywoB9ahel5UVE-iraq2cO1TL4W-p249ngz/s1600-h/TinBucket2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaPEP_iA3zSYwRXk6lNN2OGns3kcuZLibWt0outxESc79Wv10rpevaR_ilYlNggs-gwNoY-N1LVcGcLKLT8JrIuIw9QNzIUlZoXcZREbYLKCywoB9ahel5UVE-iraq2cO1TL4W-p249ngz/s320/TinBucket2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188397240880414978" /></a><br /><br />Now draw a straight line from your top arch to your bottom arch on both ends and cut out.

You can make any minor adjustments to your template before you cut out your good printed paper.<br /><br />If the fit is good, use the template to draw it on the back of your printed paper. I used a 12x12 sheet of scrapbook paper and drew the template on a diagonal from corner to corner. Cut it out and glue to your bucket. I glued down the starting edge, wrapped the paper around, and then glued the end.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqfZIoWNRSjXnN8K5gIz2L1elcM9ii7osBKONLHWI69Ukuy2-j7wX3kVGRIfiElG5TckyPf1a_RSwSgspGhdmlbovsnhCIYkBPhzNTZx-L2ZCdXQfStcqUMK23zVOOAOvzUMBFNPh4CrHe/s1600-h/TinBucket4.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqfZIoWNRSjXnN8K5gIz2L1elcM9ii7osBKONLHWI69Ukuy2-j7wX3kVGRIfiElG5TckyPf1a_RSwSgspGhdmlbovsnhCIYkBPhzNTZx-L2ZCdXQfStcqUMK23zVOOAOvzUMBFNPh4CrHe/s320/TinBucket4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188397245175382306" /></a><br /><br />I embellished my buckets by adding some ribbon and some metal rimmed tags, but anything goes!

Leave the area that the cushion will be glued unpainted.<br /></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBwzhgs4cei9nwAlGc0oypDQqaW8NgIBkoDjV6rM7z01kUn1NJNJsFQAQ4vh2dwMnv5cx7nPt9fgq9vqkS4zojVkzyofvMYlrQUEKkuLFp18nDW21hhAI_y1e5y8vBE9krCP2gfj-uZUsi/s1600-h/PinCushion1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188390420472348530" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBwzhgs4cei9nwAlGc0oypDQqaW8NgIBkoDjV6rM7z01kUn1NJNJsFQAQ4vh2dwMnv5cx7nPt9fgq9vqkS4zojVkzyofvMYlrQUEKkuLFp18nDW21hhAI_y1e5y8vBE9krCP2gfj-uZUsi/s320/PinCushion1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Step 2: while that's drying, trace the top of the candle stick onto your piece of cardboard. Cut it out 1/8" INSIDE your line so it just a bit smaller than the actual size of your candle base.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4LtJK2yQiGeVQlETnbBHwaCg3aO_JMQqn_5bf7u57AlngIHuolskQUlpF6CmU6DRZpXBjts0BIsX-o52G92xY0oyUByipSeMPNNqAMK-3rs3NB6_mo4xU1_iAsHVYNSNg50GtKEfPX3Wn/s1600-h/PinCushion2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188390424767315842" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4LtJK2yQiGeVQlETnbBHwaCg3aO_JMQqn_5bf7u57AlngIHuolskQUlpF6CmU6DRZpXBjts0BIsX-o52G92xY0oyUByipSeMPNNqAMK-3rs3NB6_mo4xU1_iAsHVYNSNg50GtKEfPX3Wn/s320/PinCushion2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Step 3: place your cardboard circle on top of layered quilt batting and cut out a total of 8 circles of batting. (I usually cut 4 layers at a time).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj47hqD-J3dAvgBNR50MghvkwtnNnvx9NsiNAd_JBAGX2_RP8wJwsEjJCyoAS1BgD-34WiqcMwMesaLVZGZ0uleKoyGadDKIrziUJ7FwFf-7-TqI8a_ciVNtp1U3BGy5lXZ6xDH0lMyLwXY/s1600-h/PinCushion3.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188390429062283154" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj47hqD-J3dAvgBNR50MghvkwtnNnvx9NsiNAd_JBAGX2_RP8wJwsEjJCyoAS1BgD-34WiqcMwMesaLVZGZ0uleKoyGadDKIrziUJ7FwFf-7-TqI8a_ciVNtp1U3BGy5lXZ6xDH0lMyLwXY/s320/PinCushion3.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Step 4: lay your cardboard circle on the wrong side of your fabric and draw 1.5"-2" bigger than your cardboard. Just eyeballing this is fine. Cut it out.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfbFdmBAJUHzTt9yAny7m5vwLE1wOlPgj4jVB3sw_6xgeurMGJTvw9sO6gAOQfSZ7zomzVCJADn003GG-Ik0__vCdnwAmwjfHNvOBxSGzpFZzgFWKJef2ElWl-BixHJ_2taf9rmrBmtkQ2/s1600-h/PinCushion4.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188390429062283170" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfbFdmBAJUHzTt9yAny7m5vwLE1wOlPgj4jVB3sw_6xgeurMGJTvw9sO6gAOQfSZ7zomzVCJADn003GG-Ik0__vCdnwAmwjfHNvOBxSGzpFZzgFWKJef2ElWl-BixHJ_2taf9rmrBmtkQ2/s320/PinCushion4.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Step 5: use your needle and thread to hand stitch around your fabric circle about 1/4from the edge. Make sure you've knotted off the end so it doesn't slip through. Cut the thread leaving a long tail.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi26euNckqJR4rJJ70_z9BMR7QWgu8xc75j1vmVF1iA0BnIhQdGUHpjw4_nVe7kuHTjPkeDOfrHA3ZfkNiI7r30MQ3CBaL8LfxkOIC3NT0jpi6rvBSk0axueibHJ-hvmjzagOHniAmIEDnz/s1600-h/PinCushion5.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188390433357250482" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi26euNckqJR4rJJ70_z9BMR7QWgu8xc75j1vmVF1iA0BnIhQdGUHpjw4_nVe7kuHTjPkeDOfrHA3ZfkNiI7r30MQ3CBaL8LfxkOIC3NT0jpi6rvBSk0axueibHJ-hvmjzagOHniAmIEDnz/s320/PinCushion5.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Step 6: time to sandwich all your pieces together! Lay your fabric right side down, place the batting in the center and the cardboard circle on the top. Push down with one hand and use your other hand to pull the thread tight. Be sure that the fabric comes over the edge all the way around. Knot off your thread.<br /></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-5vjNsXXfGrbjPyHuw3x7CYXDZWGJTJzW4p8i0pQZ1WFXYl9roi8U_LuE45QEaHp7d5UxcOJf5QNREAqkDtSuBJkajrX-n_IHgamUVGNqg_bi34pKI4EmCsi-kdTaXxXkcZuJNNy0sPaP/s1600-h/PinCushion6.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188391528573910978" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-5vjNsXXfGrbjPyHuw3x7CYXDZWGJTJzW4p8i0pQZ1WFXYl9roi8U_LuE45QEaHp7d5UxcOJf5QNREAqkDtSuBJkajrX-n_IHgamUVGNqg_bi34pKI4EmCsi-kdTaXxXkcZuJNNy0sPaP/s320/PinCushion6.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Dl0FtfsTQJWyhe-dBIaOya5pSyPAsXFMEILityVBFnCyD2D0l4FcLGdOjjKEVWH_bwpBKhZJ5ZegrYLOwO7wSrRNaSUd9zA9wjO8crNV2eBcTQUtmTVpBmNwNjTmqMX9Ffm-Xc_-fXG1/s1600-h/PinCushion7.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188391528573910994" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Dl0FtfsTQJWyhe-dBIaOya5pSyPAsXFMEILityVBFnCyD2D0l4FcLGdOjjKEVWH_bwpBKhZJ5ZegrYLOwO7wSrRNaSUd9zA9wjO8crNV2eBcTQUtmTVpBmNwNjTmqMX9Ffm-Xc_-fXG1/s320/PinCushion7.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Step 7: hand sew a button into the center of your cushion.

Either side of the tin can be used so I usually just pick whichever side is more scratched up to be the back. Remember that you have to draw your design in reverse.<br /><br />In this case I drew out a square with a heart in the center.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTOAK6GpP5N5hYOR51Vy0VhSm9hd6_zR28RB9-gRKUj54PlHC-_aBnuR0uwGdYms5EDzOy7DAOb5XW_-we9eBj9gAU06BnZ-P8E6D4zCvxF4sMfWx5dAXyx2rJCHSac3mMXfB_xhhZD8wg/s1600-h/tin1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188387487009685282" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTOAK6GpP5N5hYOR51Vy0VhSm9hd6_zR28RB9-gRKUj54PlHC-_aBnuR0uwGdYms5EDzOy7DAOb5XW_-we9eBj9gAU06BnZ-P8E6D4zCvxF4sMfWx5dAXyx2rJCHSac3mMXfB_xhhZD8wg/s320/tin1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />CAREFULLY cut out your shape with the tin snips. Tin and metal are very sharp, you may wish to wear work gloves.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTmxlv93Bp_6ocw6AcIpgKLp-GPJTLwzanYrkS05AQOLTsgpVXMBR_9witFElvJLqelxdA8jet8eFgDiSVNWxx318vGdeAB8n_PPdTxhiLdApppzf0elUCBerh_KWfm5o5CAzV3bP_xe1q/s1600-h/tin2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188387487009685298" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTmxlv93Bp_6ocw6AcIpgKLp-GPJTLwzanYrkS05AQOLTsgpVXMBR_9witFElvJLqelxdA8jet8eFgDiSVNWxx318vGdeAB8n_PPdTxhiLdApppzf0elUCBerh_KWfm5o5CAzV3bP_xe1q/s320/tin2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Let's start punching! Place your piece of tin on your scrap piece of wood. Place your nail on any point of your marker line to start, and hit the hammer on the nail once. Don't hit too hard that you go through the metal, just hard enough that you create a divot. Continue moving the nail and punching it around the whole design, spacing the punches about 1/4" apart. Also punch the perimeter of your piece of tin to create a finished border. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuYqSSoayATeXqcQ54Hm0F2iOOsSMYedAdIiGC5SJ5vPG75Re51o03y05pOz1CmiUtz9wTzsJ0zKgqWCNG3vieLe_ucbkZjwJjlV5-daZ52rIy5PpZO1u3twzOFmx0maosHVXR3iFHdwAB/s1600-h/tin3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188387491304652610" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuYqSSoayATeXqcQ54Hm0F2iOOsSMYedAdIiGC5SJ5vPG75Re51o03y05pOz1CmiUtz9wTzsJ0zKgqWCNG3vieLe_ucbkZjwJjlV5-daZ52rIy5PpZO1u3twzOFmx0maosHVXR3iFHdwAB/s320/tin3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5_ws3CCgDv8rlPmBfjywSir2_6urTI9Q1pkwciqOIQbh-IU5_X4KpL1ZrLt_rwnb8EhggySdxbGMsrIWVqVkqKosx76DA77z14YRsSChsGPXyWhG6wPHhmmoLo5uRfd0Ukv1s09s3Se7M/s1600-h/tin4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188387491304652626" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5_ws3CCgDv8rlPmBfjywSir2_6urTI9Q1pkwciqOIQbh-IU5_X4KpL1ZrLt_rwnb8EhggySdxbGMsrIWVqVkqKosx76DA77z14YRsSChsGPXyWhG6wPHhmmoLo5uRfd0Ukv1s09s3Se7M/s320/tin4.jpg" border="0" /></a></span>Marniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02638231980213023664noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231827401690725110.post-32681525544937663472008-04-06T22:03:00.000-07:002008-04-06T22:04:32.193-07:00New Beginnings<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Are you surprised to find yourself here? Were you by chance looking for my Primware House or SASSphisticated websites? </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Well, here's the scoop. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">If you've been to either of my sites in the last two weeks, then you know I announced that after a wonderful 4 years on the web, I was shutting down my sites. Why? It may seem like a silly reason, but to be honest, I grew too big. I'm just one little ol' person and since I LOVE to create and design, I couldn't keep up with the business end of things. So I've decided to SIMPLIFY life a little bit. Oh don't worry, I'm still CREATING and DESIGNING and selling my original works...that's who I am. I can't deny myself that. You know where to find me if you need me (wink, wink). Is this temporary? I don't know. I do know I'm very happy with this decision. That tells me the time is right. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">I'm having such a good time setting up this new blog of mine and its a wonderful sense of freedom. As I get things set up, I'll add some more great crafting tutorials for you all (be sure to peek at the ones I have already added), and showcase some new paintings I'm working on. I am continuing to do local exhibits (can you believe I've been doing them for 14 years?!) so I'll keep this blog up to date as to where you can find me. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Hmmm....what else? Oh we'll talk about lots of craft stuff of course. New trends, my fav crafters on the web, how to's, and why everyone should have a ribbon addiction like I do!!! LOL</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">We'll talk about family, life, gel nails, weight (I could talk about my struggles with that nonstop), polka dots and all things 'bling'. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">So please stick around. We'll have lots of fun and you'll still get your fix of primitive, shabby and antique goodies from me, I promise. Best of all now you can leave your comments for me to read!!!

Ok, it needed a little bit of dusting too.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivCodld-LMkkbCLbjLeMZOdOT0HfoBrvqY9TeL2IWhJXgRTz0boTdDoMtG7fXhrrB_0HBv9qAhgfXqx-1GJ3pUrDrGJVAWMYT3HcXHj3VzlonU73oIq1Qsy4ly9PwF_TA87dCiP_2sxCBp/s1600-h/step1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivCodld-LMkkbCLbjLeMZOdOT0HfoBrvqY9TeL2IWhJXgRTz0boTdDoMtG7fXhrrB_0HBv9qAhgfXqx-1GJ3pUrDrGJVAWMYT3HcXHj3VzlonU73oIq1Qsy4ly9PwF_TA87dCiP_2sxCBp/s320/step1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186362872656723074" /></a><br /><br />First I painted the entire cabinet with a deep chocolate brown (I use Benjamin Moore paints, this one was Hearthstone Brown). Don't forget the inside and the door!! Two light coats worked great.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPvIhsdo0OWq0t6cK_uHRsLwvzfeLgrRKs1wsvhirkmxYP9G3iU3cFEd6npqNL6HtB-YUfonwLVUjDvGMUGjZZDVXD-p8dEkw1lQ_sbQrImOsrdK_Kg8pCf4LXphoqu_vJiYBMxbWGiGni/s1600-h/step2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPvIhsdo0OWq0t6cK_uHRsLwvzfeLgrRKs1wsvhirkmxYP9G3iU3cFEd6npqNL6HtB-YUfonwLVUjDvGMUGjZZDVXD-p8dEkw1lQ_sbQrImOsrdK_Kg8pCf4LXphoqu_vJiYBMxbWGiGni/s320/step2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186362876951690386" /></a><br /><br />Let the paint completely dry and cure. You can use a hairdryer to speed up the process. Once cured (tip: the paint will be cold if its not cured), lay a wax candle on the wood and rub wax all over the outside of the cabinet (I didn't paint the inside with the blue so there was no need to rub the wax all over it). This will make the process of sanding down the top coat so much easier.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij5FDbpdz971jgFdURPbwsRT4ty-yd0y9j_cZcQhbzS8VQoU1h9Y_dY2GC_PaDCQELtSza2OS4Ud_kxa0fbXnuKm8jNDzXxoyJX2brF1uCY1HH4mmfC4f9R0FMatmsBnteBQBBOXI6XiC5/s1600-h/step3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij5FDbpdz971jgFdURPbwsRT4ty-yd0y9j_cZcQhbzS8VQoU1h9Y_dY2GC_PaDCQELtSza2OS4Ud_kxa0fbXnuKm8jNDzXxoyJX2brF1uCY1HH4mmfC4f9R0FMatmsBnteBQBBOXI6XiC5/s320/step3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186362876951690402" /></a><br /><br />You can apply your top coat right away, just brush away any loose wax. I chose a Robin's egg blue for a splash of color in my primitive kitchen. Again, apply one or two light coats.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfXEA1kaQwFQ5DLVX7fod71mBEtaNBxgV4SecVO5Kzk98qnohaiVUpYoSoBU5qbZ1poAhvzvqJL9ga_vQJFKvGx8BmaavAAyNB79PLAGlg-_4YOaFfDLmqAq4lxV2rzM3kNAj1rPw6acTD/s1600-h/step4.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfXEA1kaQwFQ5DLVX7fod71mBEtaNBxgV4SecVO5Kzk98qnohaiVUpYoSoBU5qbZ1poAhvzvqJL9ga_vQJFKvGx8BmaavAAyNB79PLAGlg-_4YOaFfDLmqAq4lxV2rzM3kNAj1rPw6acTD/s320/step4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186362881246657714" /></a><br /><br />Allow the top coat to completely cure before sanding. To sand, I used a med grit sandpaper and gently rubbed all over.
