What You Will Need

  • Wicker furniture
  • Paper
  • Painter's Tape
  • Krylon Spray Paint
  • Canvas or other cover to protect your work surface optional

Instructions

  • Give the furniture a few coats of your base paint color (I used Ballet Slipper).
  • Mask off the top of the table and cover other parts of the table with newspaper to prevent overspray.
  • Put a standard 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper right in the center and secure it with painter’s tape.
  • Spray a few coats of Blue Ocean Breeze on the top of the table. Do a coat from each direction to get full coverage so that you will still have a pink area when you remove the piece of paper.
  • Place a 6-inch square piece of paper in the center and position it like a diamond. Tape around the square and pink rectangle. Continue to use newspapers to protect from overspray.
  • Spray with Citrus Green. Spray from all directions. Once it's dry, remove the paper tape and masking to reveal your completed design.
