Print Project

Step 1

Apply a coat of white paint over the entire surface to act as a coating. Let dry.

Step 2

Using the image as a guide, paint the truck red and black. Apply several coats of paint for full coverage. Let the paint completely dry between coats.

Step 3

Paint the tree green and star yellow. Again, apply several coats of paint for full coverage. Let the paint completely dry between coats.

Step 4

Add the details to the project by painting the tires, windshield, candy canes, etc.
TIP: Once the paint is completely dry, you can use a black Sharpie® marker to accent details.

Step 5

To add glitter, first apply a coat of Mod Podge® to the tree, then sprinkle on glitter. Shake off excess glitter and let dry.
