INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Iron the canvas tote surface flat, if needed.
- Insert cardboard or waxed paper inside the tote to prevent the paint from bleeding through to the opposite side.
- Using 1" painter's tape, create a square outline.
- Using a 1" flat brush, apply a basecoat of Snow White to the outlined square.
- Position the stencil in desired location. Secure with tape, if needed. (Shown: the chevron from the Between the Lines - Saloon Stencil) Use a stencil brush to apply Marigold. (If the stencil is not large enough, you may need to re-position it and align the stencil to complete the background.)
- Position the monogram stencil as desired. (Shown: Between the Lines - Saloon.) Apply Heritage Brick using a stencil brush.
- Using a small round brush, outline the square with Heritage Brick. Rinse brush. Let dry. Once dry, outline the monogram and chevron square with Lamp Black.
