INSTRUCTIONS FOR POLKA DOTS PILLOW

Lay the mylar stencil stencil over the blank pillow cover. Tape in position.

Dip the tip of your stencil brush into the Pale Gold Metallic Paint and remove any excess paint onto paper towels or a paper plate. The stencil brush should seem almost dry. This will help prevent any bleed through underneath the stencil. Using a swirling motion over each stencil with the metallic paint, ensuring that excess material is not seeping under the stencil. Let dry, then stencil another coat if needed. Let dry. Insert the pillow insert.
