INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Allow to dry between painting steps.
- Be sure the vases are clean and dry. Clean with rubbing alcohol to remove labels, etc., and dry thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.
- Use a 3/4" flat brush to apply a square of Bright Orange in the upper right corner of the vase front.
- Continuing with Bright Orange, work in a diagonal pattern. Paint a square below and to the left of the first. Continue this pattern all over the vase.
- Using a 3/4" flat brush and Bright Yellow, paint the square next to a Bright Orange square. Continue adding squares, keeping in mind that you will have a third color to add.
- Mix together equal amounts of Bright Yellow and Bright Orange. Use this mix to finish the patchwork, filling in all the empty squares.
- Follow the directions on the Gloss Enamel bottles for curing the paint.
