Once the paint is dry, use what’s left of the gold wax on the brush from earlier and with a very light hand apply a bit of wax on the heart.

Next, use watered down stain with a sponge brush to age the edges of the heart and the wood block.

After applying the stain, wipe it back and re-apply until you have achieved the look you are going for.

To finish up, glue the Keyhole to the heart.

PRO TIP:  Be sure to heat the Wood U Bend Keyhole with a heat gun or blow dryer so that you can manipulate the product.  If you do not heat it before you try and use it it will split and break.
