How and How Long:
- Following the manufacturer's directions, base coat the front and back of the frame with 2-3 coats of Hosta Leaf.
- Base coat the top of the leaves as follows - Bauhaus Gold: three small and three large leaves; Georgia Clay: two small and two large leaves; and Burgundy: three small and three large leaves. (*Crafting tip: Temporarily affix each group of leaves to a separate piece of cardboard, using loops of masking tape for each leaf. Paint the leaves and allow to dry while on the board. This makes them easier to handle.)
- Add veining to each leaf, using the leafing pens as follows: 18 KT. Gold veins on each Bauhaus Gold leaf, Silver veins on each Burgundy leaf, and Copper veins on each Georgia Clay leaf.
- Glue spacers to each of the following: one large Burgundy leaf, one small Burgundy leaf, one large Georgia Clay leaf, and one large Bauhaus Gold leaf.
- Glue the leaves to the frame, referring to the model for suggested placement.
Approximate project time: 1.5 hours.
