#6 flat brush

1. Cover your work surface and place glass ball in the center. Remove the top and set aside.
2. Use a small spoon or wooden stick to add several drops of Orange and Silver Extreme Glitter into the glass ball. Rotate the ball to cover several areas inside.
3. Place your thumb or a paper towel over the open end of the cube and shake vigorously until the entire inside of the glass ball is covered. If all sides are not covered, repeat step 2.
4. Turn the ball upside down to allow excess Extreme Glitter to drain from the ball.
5. Allow glass ball to dry for at least 48 hours. The complete drying process may take up to two weeks. When you see the milky appearance of the paint turn to bright glitter, the ornament is dry and you can replace the hanger.
6. Double load #6 flat brush with Berry Wine and Autumn Leaves. Paint dark flower.
7. Double load #6 flat with School Bus Yellow and Autumn Leaves. Paint light flower.
8. Continue alternating dark and light flowers all the way around.
9. Double load with Berry Wine and Autumn Leaves. Paint centers to all flowers.
10. Using the handle end of brush, dot green dried filler between flowers with Forest Moss.
