Make a vibrant statement with your home decor with a woven basket and FolkArt ® Watercolor Gelz™
Instructions
- Pour each paint, Pinkberry, Hibiscus Red and Peach Pop into a foam bowl.
- From start to finish working with all three colors, work one side of the natural woven basket at a time. Begin by loading the paintbrush with Pinkberry.
- Brushing the dye horizontally onto the basket, apply Hibiscus Red approximately one third the height of the basket.
- Clean the brush then load it with Peach Pop. Working upwards on the next third of the basket, apply Peach Pop allowing it to blend with the wet Hibuscus Red.
- Leave a few woven rows of basket natural along the top edge of the basket.
- Repeat for each of the three remaining basket sides. Allow to dry.
- If desired, the woven basket can be sealed for protection by applying a coat of Mod Podge Matte to the surface. Allow to dry and completely cure.
TIPS
- Blended paint applications always look best when working in similar color families such as blue/green, or pink/red, or yellow/orange, etc.
- Woven surfaces can also be sealed with a spray clear acrylic.
