Next, using your smaller paintbrushes, apply your second color of paint to your truck. I used a pointy paintbrush when outlining areas on the metal truck. I also added my paint just above the wheel on each side.

After, you can begin to add your paint to the wheels of your truck. I added my light cream paint in the center of each wheel and later took my black chalk paint and applied it to the rest of the wheel. I needed around four coats of paint for this as well.

Adding moss and faux floral

You are now ready to add your moss to the bed of the metal truck. I decided to add just a little hot glue before adding my moss into the bed of the truck. You could just press the moss into the bed of the truck and skip the glue part.

All that is left is to cut sections of your faux flowers and greenery. After cutting your floral to size, take each section and begin to add them inside the bed of the truck. You can use a little hot glue to keep them in place. I used just a little on each of my floral pieces.
