INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES:

Let dry completely between painting steps.

1. Cut a 9" square out of a cork sheet or roll. (If using a roll, wet down the corkboard with water and flatten out overnight with a heavy book.)

2. Paint the entire mouse pad in Spa Blue.

3. Print the provided pattern to size and use tracing & transfer paper to transfer the image to the mouse pad.

4. Fill in the blocks of color using the general pattern, moving from block to block: Wild Green, Pure Pumpkin, Teal Blue, Christmas Red, Dark Turquoise, Sun Yellow, Poppy Orange, Ocean Green. (See photo.)

5. Using Light Antique White, paint in the paper airplane shapes and the swirls.

6. Outline the paper airplanes and swirls with a fine liner ink pen. (Refer to pattern.) Let dry. Once dry, seal the entire mouse pad in DuraClear Ultra-Matte Varnish so that it will last for years to come.
