Marbled Leaf Motif DIY Home Decor Accent

Instructions

Preparation

Create a raised, covered space to place your surface once you've poured your paint, such as thumbtacks in cardboard or a baker's rack.

Pouring Technique

Clean Pour – the Clean Pour technique allows for more controlled, flowing of paint resulting in more defined shapes. This is also called a direct pour. First, mix each color with pouring medium in a separate cup, then pour each cup individually and directly onto your project surface. Wearing gloves, then lift and tile your surface to allow the paint to flow as desired.

1. Tape the backside of your leaves onto your foam board.
2. Pour your pouring mixture onto your leaves and tilt/swirl until you reach your desired pattern.
3. Carefully remove the leaves from the foam board while the leaves are still wet. Let dry on a flat surface.

Drying and Finishing

Place your painted project on the raised surface and allow to dry and cure for 24-48 hours for optimal results. Once dry, apply Glitterific where desired. Allow to dry completely then seal your project with FolkArt Acrylic Sealer.
