INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES:

Let dry completely between painting steps.

1. Paint the sides of the wooden plaque in pink using a flat brush.

2. Trace and trim a piece of flower-patterned scrapbook paper to fit the front of the plaque and use Paper Decou-Page to adhere it onto the plaque.

3. Gently sand the edges of the paper to remove any excess paper. With a round brush, touch up the edges of the sanded paper in pink.

4. Use a craft knife to cut into the base of the neck of the plastic flamingo. (The plastic is thin and easy to cut; just be careful!)

5. Paint the flamingo's neck and head in pink or desired color.

6. Paint the beak and eyes in white. Let dry. Once dry, paint the end of the beak in black and a dot of black onto each eye.

7. Attach the neck onto the plaque with E6000 Glue. (I use a bit of hot glue to hold the piece in place while the E6000 dries.)

8. Hot glue feathers around the base of the neck.
