Instructions
for Trout Wastebasket
Paint
body of wastebasket rust.
Paint
any trim on basket a chocolate brown. Let dry.
To
make the basketweave pattern, make two small puddles of paint
in a dish, one tan and the other yellow. Using a 1/4" flat
brush, dip on edge in the tan paint and the other edge in the
yellow paint. These colors will blend when you paint and will
look like natural basket.
Paint
vertical lines approximately 2 inches apart on the dark body of
the wastebasket. Let dry.
Paint
horizontal lines across the vertical lines starting and ending
halfway between the next vertical line. Repeat all around on each
vertical line.
Use
Trout WALLIES® Cutouts and make a random "swimming" pattern
as shown.
Coat
with urethane.
