  1. Paint entire frame with Ballet Pink. Let paint dry.

  5. Paint each paper mache egg a different color using the Ballet Pink, Soft Apple, Day Break, Marina Mist and Lilac Ice as shown. Use the stencil brush to spatter Gold Treasure Gold on the eggs and paint unevenly the Gold Treasure Gold on the bottom of each egg. Let paint dry. Using the Peel & Stick Stencil, stencil the letters “S, P, R, I, N, G” (one letter per egg) with Peppercorn. Let paint dry. Find the top center of each egg and screw in and Eye Screw.
  6. Paint a 3” x 9” strip of canvas fabric with Gold Treasure Gold and let paint dry. Cut out 5 triangles that measure 2 1/4” on all sides.
  7. Paint a 3” x 3” square for each of the following colors: Ballet Pink, Day Break, Soft Apple, Marina Mist and Lilac Ice. Cut out 5 triangles (one of each color) that measure 2 1/8” on all sides. Use the Peel & Stick Stencils to stencil the letters “HELLO” (one letter per triangle) with Peppercorn.
  8. Center and place the colored triangles that spell HELLO on top of a Gold triangle. Using the eyelet setting tool, apply a gold eyelet to each upper corner of the triangles as shown.
  9. Make a mark on the vertical sides of the frame opening 1 1/2” down from the top of the opening and screw in an eye screw (on both sides). Make another mark on the vertical sides of the frame opening 4” up from the bottom of the opening and screw in another eye screw (on both sides).
