INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Clean and wipe the entire surface of the candelabra in rubbing alcohol and a dry rag before painting.
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Paint the entire candelabra in Enchanted.
- Mix Elegant Emerald with White Frost to make a pastel green. Dry-brush this color over the entire foot, shaft, and arms of the candelabra, as well as the candleholders in the middle of the flower shapes.
- Mix White Frost and Majestic Purple to make a lavender color. Dry-brush the mix over the flower shapes, the dotted edge of the foot, and the boning and dots along the shaft. (Save some of the mix for STEP 5.)
- Paint each egg in Vintage.
- Paint strokes of the lavender mix from STEP 3 on each egg.
- Mix Polished Coral and White Frost to make a pastel version and paint strokes of this color on each egg. Let dry. Once dry, buff each egg to a shine with a paper towel.
