NOTE: Lightly sand the barrel head before starting the project to assure a smooth surface. To begin, paint the barrel head with White Vintage Effects, using a 3" wide bristle brush, and wipe down with a rag or paper towel to let the wood grain show through. Let dry.
Transfer the pattern onto the barrel head by using a chalk pencil: Place the printed pattern on the wood so that the design faces the wood. Use a chalk pencil to rub on the surface of the paper. Turn the paper over and use a stylus or pen to retrace the design gently. You will see the transfer completed once you remove the paper. (Or you can free-hand draw the design onto the wooden barrel head, following the provided pattern.)
Paint the holly leaves around the edges of the barrel head in Light Green.
Use a cotton swab and Country Red to make the holly berries.
Sketch out the word "Joy" in pencil and then paint with Grey Storm on a liner brush. Finish the details on the holly leaves and you are done.
