I started this project by applying a layer of Tobacco Road Voodoo Gel to the base of the cutout kit.

Rub the gel stain into the surface with a piece of clean cloth.

After I applied the Tobacco Road voodoo gel stain, I misted it with the water bottle and rubbed back more stain to create a lighter wood tone.

As your surface dries, start painting the other pieces of the set.

I used the Dixie Belle Chalk Paint color Fluff and a makeup sponge to paint the words “Home Sweet Home”.

Then, I started on the center portion of the sunflower.

For this part of the project you’ll need to grab your Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in the colors Chocolate and Coffee Bean and also have a scruffy paint brush on hand.

To begin, I added the chocolate and coffee bean to a scruffy brush and did a circular motion on the center of the sunflower so the outer edge is lighter and the center portion is darker.

Then, I filled in the etched circle with coffee bean.

If you want to skip the extra steps here, you could also simply paint the center piece using the color Chocolate and then use the color Coffee Bean for the etched dots.

NOTE:  I also used this technique to add some highlighting to the sunflower petals later in the post.

Finally, I used the end of my brush to add the fluff dots.

When I painted the sunflower petals, I used the darker yellow on the bottom of the petals and blended the lighter color toward the top tip of the petals.  This technique helps to creates depth and dimension.  You don’t have to use the two colors for this part of the project.  The flower petals would look just as good painted with one solid color.

Once everything is dry, it’s time to assemble your project.

Use the outer portion of the cutout as your guide when gluing all of the pieces into place.

Add Gorilla Super Glue to each portion of the cutout and set your pieces in their coordinating spots.

Once all of my pieces were in place, I lifted the outer portion of the cutout out of the way and added white dots to the sunflower petals.

This is easily done using the end of a small paint brush, but don’t feel like you have to add these.  It’s totally optional!
