INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Let dry completely between painting steps.

1. Cut leaves of choice from their stems. (Use a pair of wire cutters if there is wire in the branch; otherwise scissors will work.)
   
2. Paint both sides of the leaves in Champagne Gold, Worn Penny, Splendid Gold, and Rich Espresso with a flat brush.
   
3. Take out the backing and glass from the frame. Mix together Snow White and Fawn. Paint the frame in the mix with a flat brush.
   
4. Mix together Dark Chocolate and Rich Espresso. Mix in Staining/Antiquing Medium, according to the label instructions. Brush onto the frame and wipe back with a soft cloth. If too much is still left, use a small amount of water and wipe back.
5. Tie each leaf onto a piece of jute twine. Use hot glue to adhere the tied leaves onto the back of the frame.
   
6. Tie a bow out of burlap ribbon. Hot glue a piece of burlap ribbon to the back of the frame to form a hanger. Hot glue the bow into place.
