Instructions:
-
1. Place a piece of wax paper under the area to be painted. If you are working with stencils, position the stencil in the desired area. Using the fawn paint and a foam paintbrush, apply the paint to the brush and then tap off the excess paint so the brush is near dry. Paint the stencil in a uneven fashion for an aged or worn look. For foam stamps, apply the paint directly to the stamp and stamp in the desired position. Allow the paint to dry.
-
Next, layer more designs and colors of paint by repeating the steps above with the licorice and berry wine paints.
- Heat set the paint with an iron. Sew decorative stitches over the painted design with various colors of thread.
