    6. Instruction #3
    7. Place the Americana Decor Ikat Polka Dot Stencil onto the center of the tray. ( If it is too large for the tray, trim the excess edges to fit.) If needed, use painter's tape to keep the stencil in place. Use a stencil brush to apply Pumpkin Patch and Eggplant (or the desired team colors). Be sure not to stencil inside of the taped-off area. While the paint is still wet, remove the stencil.
