Instructions:

C: The cardboard-work

 

a. Paint a sheet of cardboard with the Umber-green. If you could not get it, mix it yourself by taking two parts of Raw Umber with one part of olive green.

You can also try other greens, as long as the result looks similar to the picture of Umber green in the files. When it is dry, cut it to the size of your floor. Pic 29

b. Cut this piece of flooring into small stripes of slightly different width without a ruler or any other measuring, we want it a bit uneven to look old and worn.

Bend the stripes hard at different places to make cracks. Those cracks show in the end and look like cracked paint.

Glue those stripes onto the floor with Tacky Pic 30
