Step 1
Remove each sachet from the sleeve and snip one open with scissors, putting the other to one side for your second coat. Both sachets contain enough paint to create the Limewash effect.

Step 2
Squeeze out the paint and apply the first coat with a brush or small roller. Apply to an area of 30x30cm (whether that be your chosen surface or a piece of card) and wait until it’s touch dry.
