INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES:

Let dry completely between steps.

Some steps may require several coats of color.

Use a cosmetic sponge to apply the stencil with more ease.

1. Mark off a striped pattern with painter's tape. Paint the first set of stripes with Vanilla Shake.

2. Remove the painter's tape and cut a single stripe out of construction paper. Using the straight side of the construction paper as a guard, mark out and fill the Baby Blue stripes. (Don't worry too much about messiness; the next step will take care of cleaning up the line.)

3. Fill in the remaining stripes with Ballerina.

4. Mix Ballerina with Red Barn to make a darker pink. Use a small brush to paint stripes between the Baby Blue and Ballerina stripes.

5. Using the cherry stencil from the Dessert Anyone stencil and a cosmetic sponge, apply Red Barn.

6. Cut out a rectangle in a complimenting size of construction paper and shape the corners with a curve inward. Use a black marker to write the word "Notes" and glue the paper to the notebook. (You may also want to go over the marker with Black Tie.)
