Instructions:

1.  Remove labels from Paper Mache Letters

2.  Line up Letters with the L & O next to each other, and the V & E next to each other

3.  Find the natural break in the shape of the Letter and draw a straight line, using the ruler      as a guide, across the two letters at a time.  Depending on the shape and style of the            letters will determine where you choose to draw your lines.

4.  Painting in an "Ombre" style, paint the darkest color first at the bottoms of the V & E 

5.  Working your way up the letters, staying in the spaces of the penciled guidelines,   

     continue to paint working your way to the top of the L & O

6.  Mix 3 tsp. of Clear Satin Finish with 1 tsp. Hot Pink Chalk Style Finish.  Paint over the Pink section of          the L & O.  Rub with rag to get the distressed look you like and let dry

7.  Paint over all of the letters with Clear Satin Finish.  Let dry.
