Step 6

While the glue is drying you can paint the Earring Box.

Tape off the wire with painters tape, making sure the edges and corners are secure.

Paint with Krylon CoverMaxx Purple . You will need about 3 coats, make sure you let it dry between coats about 10 minutes.

Step 7

After the glue is dry, paint the Jewelry Organizer with 3 coats of paint, letting dry between coats about 10 minutes.

Both pieces have been painted and set aside to dry.

Step 8

Give the flowers a base coat of Krylon Ivy Leaf Green. We did this so when the second color was applied and wiped off, it would show through and give the flowers dimension.

Step 9

Then the Krylon ColorMaster Surf is sprayed on and immediately wipe off the high points with a Q-tip.

Set aside to dry.

Step 10

Using a small paint brush, paint the inside of the flowers. We sprayed the Krylon Ivy Leaf onto a paper plate and then used the brush to hand paint the color we wanted so that it all matched.

Step 11

Now it’s time to paint the wooden knobs. Doug used a scrap strip of wood with screws drilled through to hold the knobs and drawer pull. We decided on Krylon Mambo Pink as an accent color, not only because I love it, but it also reminds me of when I helped on the Krylon Spraydown.

After all the pieces are dry, then use a glue gun to attach the knobs and flowers.
