1. Remove the glass from the frame and set aside.
   
    
2. Tape off the outer edge of the Ikea® NYTTA Frame using the Frog Tape®
   
    
3. Very lightly spray Rustoleum® Painter's Touch® Ultra Cover 2X White Primer and let it dry (only for about 20 minutes).
   
    
4. Spray the back of the Stencil Ease® Modern Lattice Stencil very lightly with the Stencil Ease® Repositionable Adhesive Spray and let the adhesive dry.
   
    
5. Apply the stencil to the surface of the frame. Be sure to align it so that it’s even on the frame where you would like it.
   
    
6. Pour some of the DecoArt® Americana® Desert Turquoise Acrylic Paint onto the plate.
   
    
7. Load your Stencil Ease® 5/8” White Bristle Stencil Brush with Desert Turquoise DecoArt® Americana® Acrylic Paint and then swirl the brush onto your paper towel until it seems like all of the paint is removed. This creates a dry brush and leaves the perfect amount of paint on your bristles. Using a dry brush prevents paint from seeping under the cut-outs of the stencil. This part of the process is essential if you would like clean/ crisp lines when you lift your stencil.
   
    
8. Either stipple (lightly tapping over the stencil cut-outs) or swirl the paint onto the frame.
   
    
9. You can immediately remove the stencil and line up the design for your next repeat, either vertically or horizontally. Just use the design you just painted to line up the next repeat.
