INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Paint the entire tray with two coats of Cotton Ball. Allow the paint to dry completely between coats.
- Cut out the provided rectangle pattern. Place in the center of the tray and trace.
- Apply painter's tape along the inside edges of the rectangle.
- 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.
- Remove the painter's tape from inside the rectangle. Use the Americana Stencils 3" Simple Script Alphabet Stencil to paint the letters "L", "V", and "E" within the rectangle using a stencil brush and Coffee Bean. (See final photo for placement.)
- Use the handle end of a #3 round brush to paint tiny Eggplant dots around the outer edges of the rectangle and the tray. Use the #3 round brush to paint the inside edge of the tray in Pumpkin Patch.
- Cut out the football shape. Position on a diagonal where "O" would be placed. Use a pencil to outline. Apply Coffee Bean with a #6 flat brush to the football area. Let dry. Once dry, free-hand the stitching in Cotton Ball and a #3 round brush.
