Quilted Ornament DIY Instructions

What You’ll Need:

• Paint/Stain: Choose your favorite colors or stains for your project.
• Applicators:
  • Paint brushes or foam applicators.
  • Fine-tip brush or toothpick for detailed areas.
  • Rag for applying stain (optional).
• Adhesive: Wood glue or instant glue (a fine-tip applicator works best).
• Paper Plate: Use as a paint palette.
• Clamps: For holding layers while glue dries.
  • Tip: Dollar Tree has affordable options, or use flat objects with weights like cans or jars. Be careful not to let items shift.
• Baby Wipes: For a stained look with visible wood grain. (Instructions below.)
• Optional: Clear coat spray finish for added protection.

How to Paint/Stain:

1. Prepare: Remove any masking tape used during cutting.
2. Paint Large Areas: Use a paintbrush for larger surfaces.
3. Detail Work: Use a fine-tip applicator, brush, or toothpick.
4. Baby Wipe Technique:
   • Wrap a baby wipe around your finger.
   • Dip into paint, tap off excess, and wipe across the wood for a stained, grain-visible finish.

How to Assemble:

• Line up each layer carefully.
• Let glue dry between each layer to prevent shifting.

Finishing (Optional):

• Spray with a clear coat to protect your paint over time.
