  Step 1

  Draw a line down the center of both sides of each of the two 17" long boards
  Add glue to the line and position the 13" long board on the line

• 

  Step 2

  Flip it over and nail the 17" board to the 13" board
  Add glue to the other side of the 13" board
  Center the other 17" board on top and nail it in place
  This creates the bottom of your bench

• 

  Step 3

  Center the seat (the 18" board) on top of the base
  Adhere it to the base with more wood glue
  Draw a line through the center and along the sides directly above the 17" boards on the base
  This will help you place your nails
  Nail the seat in place

• 

  Step 4

  Paint the entire bench in Lace
  Stencil 4 rows of the harlequin on each side of the seat with Serene
  Stencil the harlequin on both sides of the bench

• Step 5

  Step 6

  Stencil the French Bakery Stencil in the center of the seat with Relic
  Using the straight edge of the stencil, add a frame around the seat
  When dry, coat the entire bench in the Light Satin Varnish
  When the varnish is dry, paint on a small amount of creme wax and rub it off with a damp cloth to give it an aged look
