Summer Trays with Chalky Paint

Here's how it's done

The tray trays are primed with Chalky color antique white and a Paint sponge . Once the paint has dried, everything is covered with a layer of Chalky Wax. Once again dried, a third layer of chalky paint follows, for example in pastel pink or Petrol Blue. Once this third layer of paint has also dried, the top layer of paint is sanded down again slightly: carefully on the surfaces, a little more on the edges. The previously applied wax serves as a protection for the lower paint layer against too much abrasion.

Chalky colour can also be applied to glass. Provide the VBS Glass lantern at half height (approx.) with an adhesive tape strip. Now simply dab the lower half with Chalky paint and Paint sponge . After drying, carefully sand down some paint. If necessary, seal the paint with an additional Protective varnish sealant to better protect the paint application.

Trays and glass lanterns are decorated with lace trimmings, small daisy blossoms, scattered pieces, natural bast or your own decoration ideas to suit your own taste.
