Picture of Paint the Tree and Add Depth with Wood Stain
I gave the entire structure a coat of green acrylic paint. Don’t worry about perfection—this project is all about embracing imperfections! After letting it dry completely, I heavily sanded over the waxed areas. The paint came off in patches, revealing the raw wood beneath. To enhance the rustic charm, I brushed on a light coat of dark wood stain. It softened the green paint and gave the tree a rich, aged appearance. This step made all the difference in bringing the tree to life!
