  3. Paint the non-taped area with Lime Green. Allow to dry and add a second coat if needed. 
  4. Remove tape and carefully paint the rest of the plant poke in black. Allow to dry. 
  5. Using white and a small liner or detail brush, create field lines and your “5” and “0” on either side of your center most line (see image).  
  6. Add a thin white line between the grass and the black above.  
  7. Using a pencil, plan out your letters on the black space. 
  8. Carefully fill in your letters with white paint. Allow to dry. 
  9. Using your black paint and a small brush, fix up any mistakes in your letters.  
  10. Dip the tips of the pokes into Mod Podge Resin, see downloadable information PDF in supply list, as it will keep your pokes clean and reusable. Mod Podge Resin is food safe.
