| Instructions
for Trout Wastebasket: Paint
body of wastebasket rust. |
 |
To
make the basketweave pattern, make two small puddles of paint
in a dish, one tan and the other yellow. Using a 1/4" flat
brush, dip on edge in the tan paint and the other edge in the
yellow paint. These colors will blend when you paint and will
look like natural basket. Paint vertical lines approximately 2 inches apart on the dark body of the wastebasket. Let dry. Paint horizontal lines across the vertical lines starting and ending halfway between the next vertical line. Repeat all around on each vertical line. |
 |
| Use
Trout WALLIES® Cutouts and make a random "swimming"
pattern as shown. Coat with urethane. |
