I’m big into crates lately! Do you remember my “home” crate I made to go along with the crackle mason jars? I actually made this crate before the fall one and I can’t decide which one I like better. 🙂 This time around I decided to add a fun pop of texture and tried my hand at wood burning. If you have not tried to wood burning something… you must! I was a bit nervous at first but it is addicting!
Supplies for Woodburn Grey Wash Crate:
- Wooden Crate
- Grey Paint, I used FolkArt ®Multi Surface in Medium Grey
- Plaid ® 2 in 1 Craft Tool, I used the woodburner
- Stencil, I used a stencil from the FolkArt ® Stencil Value Packs – Bohemian, 12″ x 12″
- Stencil Brush, I used a FolkArt Premium Stencil Brush
I began by placing my stencil in the bottom corner of my crate. This stencil was larger in size so i just moved the stencil around until I had the design where I wanted it.
While I held the stencil in place, I made small and soft pencil lines following the shape of the stencil. This helped create the perfect “guide” to wood burn.
Following the heating directions of my wood burning tool I carefully wood burned around the “drawing.” Be careful to keep your hand steady and at an even pressure. The harder you push into the wood the larger the burn.
When I was finished wood burning I painted a light brown basecoat on my crate. I simply watered down some brown paint and brushed it on and allowed it to dry.
Once my base coat was dry I used my medium grey paint to paint in the areas of my wood burned design. I allowed the paint to dry slightly and then quickly rubbed it off with a clean and dry papertowel. It was a similar process as my stenciled color-block clock.
I added some florist foam to the base of the crate and began filling it with some of my favorite greenery.
I place a few fun pops of neutral flowers and sprigs to the crate and I just love the added color.
This woodburn grey wash flower crate is such a fun and dramatic home decor piece. I can’t tell you how much a feeling of home greenery adds to a room.
I love the small stenciled look in the corner. It’s just enough of a texture to add personality to the piece without stealing the show and he wood burning adds a great rustic flare to this crate.
