  • Once the texture paste is dry, color the base using spray paints (Order from top to bottom: Ginger Coral, Gilded, Sunshine, Blue Lime & Mojito Green) and dry using heat tool. apply 2 coats of spray colors & use water mister to blend colours if needed.
  • Paint the MDF quote using Dlyusions paint and set aside to dry.

  • Adhere the flower bunches on the base using glue and separate each bunch from other using white pearls in between successive bunches.
  • Use pearls to cover any empty space between the flower bunches and also adhere a few pearls on the top of the bunches.
