Priming trays & wooden fences
For the priming we have VBS Chalky Color. First, both trays are primed in antique white. The small mini wooden fence is first painted with Chalky Color in Cappuchino. After drying, one layer of Chalky Wax is applied, then the second layer of Chalky paint in antique green. Once dry, simply work carefully with Sandpaper - the typical chalky effect will appear.For the antique look of the Trays you can either work with two layers of paint and Chalky Wax as with m Deco Fence or you can carefully wipe over the edges of the tray with a Ink Pads Important: Remember to match the colour of the wooden handles!
How to turn tray bases into garden areas
Divide the tray base into individual "garden areas". Take the first of the surfaces, spread glue on it and sprinkle Decorative sand or gravel on it. Excess grit can be easily dumped. Do the same with the remaining surfaces of the tray bottoms. Blue Decorative sand becomes the "water look"Arrange moss, succulents, moss stones and fix them with keber. Miniature garden furniture and fences complete the garden.
Finally simply narrow Satin ribbon around the trays and tie a little bow. Put the Ribbon on double sided Adhesive tape, so that the decoration is well fixed.
