INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES:

Let dry completely between painting steps.

1. Remove any tags from tote bag. Use scissors to cut a piece of wax or freezer paper to put inside the bag to prevent paint from going through.

2. Use a 3/4" Flat brush load separately with Americana Multi- Surface Satin colors; Deep Turquoise, Coastal Waters, and True Blue. To loosely and randomly add color and blend all into each other while wet. It will almost give you a watercolor effect but with bold color.

3. Use same brush and Black Tie to paint the border around the bag. Let dry completely.

4. Place "From A to Z" Stencil in the blue area. Load a cosmetic sponge with Black Tie and pounce until the whole stencil is filled in.
