SUPPLIES
- water container
- palette or plastic plate
- paper towels
- pencil
- burlap
- hot glue gun
- 3/4" flat brush
- #8 round brush
- terra cotta pot
- twine
- wooden dowel rods
INSTRUCTIONS
- Using a 3/4" flat brush, paint the top rim of the pot in Melonball.
- Using a 3/4" flat brush, begin painting the pot starting at the top with Melonball and go down approximately 1/3 of the way. While the paint is still wet, use the same brush (no need to rinse) and brush on Turquoise Waters around the middle, making sure to overlap with Melonball.
- While the paint is still wet, use the same brush (no need to rinse) and brush on Deep Turquoise around the bottom, making sure to overlap with Turquoise Waters.
- Using a 3/4" flat brush, paint the two wooden dowels in Melonball.
- Using the pattern, cut three pennants/triangle shapes from the burlap.
- Using a 3/4" flat brush, loosely paint the pennants with Deep Turquoise. (Do not paint to the edges.)
- Use a pencil to loosely draw "MOM", with one letter on each pennant. Using a #8 round brush, paint the shape of the letter "block style" in Melonball. Rinse brush and paint "MOM" in Cobalt. Use a hot glue gun to adhere the pennants to a piece of twine. Tie knots in between the pennants. Tie the pennants to the painted dowels.
- Fill the pot with beauty supplies/spa items. Stand the dowels inside on either side of the pot. (Refer to photo for placement.)
