Watermelon Frames

Instructions

1. Sand all wood pieces. Apply All-Purpose Sealer and when the wood is completely dry, sand again as needed.
2. Paint the following pieces:
   Jubilee Green: 2 large hearts, 2 large teardrops and smaller one
   Lime Green: smaller heart, 2 large teardrops
   Spice Brown: oval shape
3. Apple Frame: Paint the frame Opaque Red.
4. Paint a White highlight on the apple frame.
5. Glue brown stem into place on the apple frame.
6. Carefully drill a small hole at the base of all hearts. Drill three small holes next to stem.
7. Cut a piece of wire about 10" long. Thread wire from the front through one hole and up from the back through another. Thread a wire end through the hole in the heart and curl end of wire to secure. Continue with the smaller heart threading wire through remaining hole.
8. Watermelon Frame: The third frame has a 1" Opaque Red border around the center opening.
9. Paint the remainder of frame with Jubilee Green. Use the #8 flat brush to paint evenly spaced Lime Green stripes on the green area of the watermelon frame. Paint a White wavy line with liner brush between the red and green areas.

11. Strawberry Frame: Paint the frame Opaque Red.
