Instructions in 9 steps Two extraordinary decorative balls. In one of them, stick the mirror effect foil to its inner area. Then add a LED string of lights to round off your decoration. On the other, apply a coat of Chalky Finish paint.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Batteries: 2 × lithium button cell 3V

And this is how it works:

Step 1: Illumination of the ball

Dab inside one half of the faceted ball with the glue for foil by means of the sponge stamp.

Step 2

Let the glue dry transparent out. Lay the foil with the metallic side facing up in the half-ball and press it with fingers.

Step 3

Strip the rest of the foil away and repeat the procedure until the surface completely covered is.

Step 4

Form the fairy lights into a loose ball by hands and secure it at the upper crosspiece. Close the ball.

Step 5: The ball in Chalky Finish mint paint

Mix the Chalky colour tint jade and mint in a mixing ratio of 4:1 and dab richly the ball from inside with the sponge stamp.

Step 6

Before closing, let the ball dry well out.

Step 7: Wooden tray

Paint the wooden tray with the brush and the anthracite Chalky Finish paint.

Step 8

Let the colour dry well out. Wipe the mixture out of the white paint and the cream-wax over the entire wooden tray with a wet paint pad. As a result, a limed appearance arises.
