Step
1

Stain your DIY Flower Box Centerpiece. I chose a light gray stain because I still wanted to be able to see the wood grain. Apply stain and allow box to dry.

Once the stain is dry, dry brushwhite or light gray paint. To dry brush, put a very small amount of paint onto a stiff paintbrush. Wipe off the majority of the paint onto a rag or paper towel. With very light pressure, make long strokes. You will start to see all the character of the wood coming out. Continue to dry brush until you are happy with the results. Allow to dry.

After you are done staining and painting your planter box, place a DIY Unfinished Wood Planter box upside down in the center of the DIY Flower Box Centerpiece. Next, fill each side of the box with floral foam so the DIY Flower Box will stay in place.
