PROJECT SUPPLIES:
INSTRUCTIONS:
1 | Base a coat of primer and let dry. Apply a layer of Metallic Texture Tint Base Pearl with a spatula or blade. Run a stiff brush through the texture to mimic the look of grass cloth. Allow to dry.

2 | Mix equal parts of the Slow Dry Fluid Acrylic Phthalo Green and the Phthalo Blue and cover the ribbed texture using a chip brush. Make enough paint mixture to use in the next step. Let dry.

3 | Using the grasscloth pattern as a guide, measure out the stripes as you’d like, in the opposite direction of the grasscloth pattern. Tape them off. Then, mix together equal amounts of the Glass Bead Gels, glitter and enough of the leftover Slow Dry Fluid Acrylic mixture from Step 1 to a workable consistency.

4 | Using a small blade, pick up the Glass Bead Gel mix with a blade and apply it evenly within the taped stripes. This figure shows the just applied wet glass bead gel mixture. Remove tape as soon as possible. Allow to dry for at least 8 hours.
