INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES:

Let dry completely between painting steps.

1. Use a #12 flat brush and load separately with Serene, Innocence, Smitten, Refreshing, Delicate, and Remembrance to paint the eggs. Rinse before changing colors and at end. Let dry completely.

2. Use the Metallic Type Americana Decou-Page Paper sheet in the package that has letters on it, cutting out your favorite font to spell out "Easter" or your choice of word. (I cut the letters out leaving a little border around the edges to make it pop off of the colorful eggs.)

3. Use a #12 flat brush and load with Americana Matte Decou-Page.

4. Adhere the letters separate on each egg and brush more Decou-Page on to seal the egg. Rinse brush.

5. Clean the entire ceramic piece with rubbing alcohol and paper towels. Let dry completely.

6. Use a #2 flat brush and Whisper to paint the entire teacup inside and out. Rinse brush.

7. Use the same brush to apply Clear Crème Wax over the entire teacup. Rinse brush.

8. Using the same brush, while Clear Crème Wax is still wet, apply a coat of Golden Brown Wax on top. Rinse brush.

9. Use a clean, white cloth to wipe back the waxes while still wet. Continue to get your desired look. (If you end up wiping too much off, just repeat the waxing steps). Let dry completely.

10. Once dry, use a new clean, cloth and buff to a satin finish.

11. Fill the cup with Easter basket filler in a color of choice and add the eggs.
