Painting Tips: Use a roller with a high density sponge to make painting easier. Use a very light coat of paint so that it doesn’t drip over the edges. You can also use a dry stencil brush.

To help hold the small wood pieces steady while painting; lay down a strip or two of painters tape or masking tape. Lay the tape FACE UP on your table and secure ateach end with another piece of tape. Stick the small pieces to the exposed tapeand carefully paint the surfaces. The tape will help prevent the pieces from moving while you paint.

Secure pieces to wood base using wood glue. / Drill holes for a ribbon or use the included hanger kit (no drilling required)
