INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Dilute a small amount of Cotton Ball with a little water in a plastic cup or container and dry-brush the grapevine wreath, burlap ribbon, and wooden plaque with the mix. (To dry-brush, use a chip brush and dip only the tip into the paint; tap on a paper towel to remove any excess paint. Brush the paint onto the surface with a mostly dry paintbrush.)
- Dilute a little True Blue with water and dry-brush the wooden stars.
- Tape the stripes along the length of the burlap using painter's tape. Dry-brush the exposed burlap with Dark Scarlet.
- Free-hand or use transfer paper and printed lettering to trace the message onto the wooden plaque. Paint the letters using Cotton Ball and a #1 round brush.
- Hot glue the burlap around the wreath. Position and hot glue the stars into place.
- Attach the sign with a little jute to the back of the grapevine wreath.
