INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Using a 3/4" flat brush and alternating True Red and Snow White, basecoat the stripes, leaving an open area on the left for the star section. (See photo for placement.) (Use a #8 flat brush to cover smaller areas such as between cracks and on the sides of the pallet.)
- Using a #8 flat brush and True Blue, paint the left section at the top three slats. (Refer to photo for color placement. )
- Use a #8 flat brush and Snow White to paint the stars.
- Once the paint is dry, lightly sand the pallet to create a distressed look.
- Use a fan brush to apply matching colors of Glamour Dust Glitter to the pallet: Sizzling Red for True Red areas; Ice Crystal for Snow White areas; and Sapphire Blue for True Blue areas.
- Use a fan brush and Ice Crystal on the stars.
- Using a hot glue gun, adhere the stars onto the flag in any desired pattern.
