Let's Do This!
Step 1:
- Spray paint the bamboo trivet and the letter ‘U’ white. Let dry.
Step 2:
- Take the painters tape and apply in between the open slots of the trivet.
- Paint the exposed white with red acrylic paint. Let dry.
- Carefully remove tape. If you need to touch up and red or white paint, do so now.
Step 3:
- Cut out and trace randomly placed star shapes.
- Paint the ‘U’ blue, leaving the stars white.
- While the paint is still wet, top with glitter.
- Using the blue puffy paint, outline each star shape.
Step 4:
- Paint the letters ‘S’ and ‘A’ with red paint. Let dry.
- Apply adhesive pearls along the right edges of each letter.
- Outline both letters with blue puffy paint.
- Add details by adding dots of white and blue puffy paint. Let dry.
Step 5:
- Begin gluing the nylon rope around the edge of the trivet with hot glue.
- As you make your second pass, be sure to leave a bit of the rope loose at the top center as a way to hang the piece when it’s finished.
Step 6:
- Hot glue the finished letters to the trivet in a diagonal from top left to bottom right.
