SUPPLIES

- cloth
- 3/4" flat brush
- chalk
- metal cookie tins
- masking tape

INSTRUCTIONS
- Remove cookie tin lid from tin and wipe with wet cloth. Let dry.
- Using ruler, measure top of lid and mark halfway point with pencil or washable marker.
- Lay strip of masking tape across middle of tin. (See photo: tin at left.) Make sure to firmly press down edges of tape down so paint can’t get underneath.
- Using only vertical brushstrokes, paint one half of cookie tin lid. Let dry for one hour.
- Paint second layer, this time using only horizontal brushstrokes. Let dry and cure for 24 hours.
- Remove masking tape. If paint has seeped under masking tape, gently rub away with finger.
