* Prepare the pan: The first thing you should do is clean out the tray with soapy water and dry with a cloth. Now you can apply a coat of sealant to cover the entire surface. Use a foam roller in the smooth areas and stirrers to reach corners and tight corners. Let dry.
* Fund custard: Then apply two coats of cream-colored satin. To prepare the color, mixing white acrylic paint and some universal dye brown.

We’ll show you a bouquet of three red roses surrounded by green leaves. Use tracing paper to the bouquet red and black for the leaves.
* Leaves: Use acrylic paint to color the leaves, both the bouquet as the tray. First, prepare a green tone mixing titanium white, green, chromium oxide and a little cadmium red.

With a cloth, remove glaze from areas where dirt accumulates less blurs and hitting targets you created again with the stirrers, and blot profiles. Let dry for at least a day.
* The final touch: on the tray Apply two coats of polyurethane varnish, allowing time for drying between them. To get a good finish, use a soft bristle stirrers e1 varnish applied with horizontal strokes first and then, without loading the brush, stretch it with vertical strokes, so that will avoid ridges undoubtedly deslucirían work.
