Here's what you do:
Add three coats of white and red acrylic paint to picket fence and allow time to dry in between coats. (For my project, I alternated the red and white.) Be sure to sprinkle red glitter over red paint and white glitter over the white paint, immediately after last coat.Apply Removable Dots to wood shapes to secure in place for painting. Apply three coats of blue acrylic paint to wood laser-cut circle and hearts. Sprinkle blue glitter right after applying third coat. Use yellow acrylic paint for stars and sprinkle gold glitter on top after third coat.
