INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES:

Let dry completely between painting steps.

1. Sand the wooden letters that spell "luck" to remove any rough edges. Wipe down with a damp paper towel.

2. Paint the sides and back of the letters in Sour Apple.

3. Paint the outside edge of the front of the wooden letters in Sour Apple.

4. Place the letter with the front side down onto the desired patterned scrapbook paper. With a pencil, trace the wooden letter as close to the wood as possible. Cut out the letter using a craft knife or scissors, cutting 1/8” smaller than the trace line. (Make sure the paper fits the letter properly or make adjustments, as needed.)

5. Apply Americana Matte Decou-Page to the front of the letter. Position the patterned paper and remove any wrinkles or bubbles with fingers. Apply an additional coat of Decou-Page to the top of the scrapbook paper.

6. Paint two wooden shamrocks in Sour Apple using a 1" flat brush.

7. Apply Decou-Page generously to the shamrock. Sprinkle green glitter over the surface while the Decou-Page is still wet. Shake off the excess and allow to dry. Spray the shamrock with Americana Gloss Spray Finish once the Decou-Page has dried.

8. Once dry, add matching ribbons to the L and the C. Adhere the shamrocks to the U and K using E6000 Glue. (Refer to photo for placement.)

9. To create a matching bunting, cut triangle shapes out of the leftover scrapbook paper and attach them to a piece of ribbon with a glue gun.
