      STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
      ANTIQUE CHAIR

      This is a great technique that can be used to turn an ordinary chair into an attractive antique looking piece.

      TOOLS AND MATERIALS NEEDED

      • Sanding sponge
      • Brick-shaped sander
      • Old chair
      • Latex primer
      • Latex paint
    Getting Started...

    1. Sand off any old varnish or uneven paint. Brush off sandings.

    2. Apply one coat of latex primer. Allow time for primer to dry.

    3. Apply one coat of red latex paint. Let dry.

    4. Apply one coat of the white base over the red coat. Let dry.

    5. Sand off some of the white so that the red appears to be showing  through in certain areas. Sand more in the areas that would normally show the most  wear and tear, such as the edges, to give it an older, used look. Though the white  will be predominant, you should be able to see a bit of the original wood, as well  as a bit of red.

    6. Add a little bit of gold paint to all the little crests and  edges for a finishing touch.
