Let's Get Started

To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.

STEP 1

Apply Winter from a can (hint – it’s white paint!)

Start by spraying generous amounts of paint onto the wooden napkin rings. Ensure you spray from multiple angles to coat each ring fully. Then leave everything to dry. Helpful tip: Place the wooden rings on a disposable placemat like a newspaper to ensure you don’t spray the paint anywhere you don’t want! Be sure to spray your paint outside or in a well-ventilated room.

STEP 2

It’s time you drew a line

To add that glossy striped candy cane look, grab your pencil and embossing glue. Carefully draw diagonal lines ¼ to ½ inch apart on the napkin ring with your pencil. Once complete, take a thin brush and apply embossing glue to every other intermediate space.
