A woodland folk-inspired Christmas from Chalk Paint™ inventor Annie Sloan

Paint legend Annie Sloan CBE has created a Woodland Christmas inspired by the beauty of the forest, foraging and gathering greenery, and the joyful simplicity of folk art.

This year, Annie has designed a collection of bird templates inspired by folk art, using them to create eight Christmas projects, from stockings and tree decorations to garlands, table decorations and a Christmas chandelier.

The beautiful wall colour is Annie Sloan's Piranesi Pink - a dusty, peach-leaning pink wall paint. Suggestive of setting plaster, Piranesi Pink is timeless wall paint.

“I love making things at Christmas. There’s something so special about creating decorations by hand and then seeing them become part of your Christmas traditions. I hope these projects inspire you to get crafty and make your own Woodland Folk Christmas."

The Woodland Christmas palette brings together rich, warm and joyful colours inspired by the natural world: Burgundy, Aubusson Blue, Sandalwood Red, Barcelona Orange, Louis Blue and Old Ochre, with Amsterdam Green and Capability Green as accent colours.

The eight Woodland Christmas projects include Christmas Stockings, Christmas Tree Decorations, Christmas Garland, Christmas Napkin Rings, Christmas Table Decorations, Candle Holders, Christmas Wrapping Paper and a Christmas Chandelier.

Step by steps for the Woodland Christmas projects will be available on request after 19th September.

Annie invented Chalk Paint 35 years ago in 1990. This revolutionary decorative paint is perfect for upcycling and crafting as well as furniture painting. There are now 51 colours in the collection. 

Easy to use and quick to dry, Chalk Paint is the simple way to transform furniture, floors and walls. It works on wood, metal, laminate, concrete, indoors and outdoors and can be used to create a variety of different decorative paint effects.
