How to Make the Holiday Harvest Hurricanes
- Clean hurricanes with glass cleaner.
- Apply stencil tape around bases and tops of hurricanes to frame areas for bands of metallic color. Cover all areas you do not wish to paint with kraft paper.
- Follow gloss spray kit instructions (which come with the kit) to mix a metallic color with the gloss enamel medium. Apply 3 to 4 thin even coats onto hurricanes. Let dry completely between coats. Repeat on all hurricanes, alternating metallic colors. Let dry, then carefully remove tape and kraft paper.
- Position stencils on hurricane and secure in place with stencil tape. Pour a small amount of each paint color in palette. Lightly load foam pouncer with a single paint color, then dab over openings in stencil. Apply a second coat of paint if necessary. Remove stencils and let paint dry. Reposition stencils and apply paint to complete your design. Work with one paint color at a time and let paint dry before layering designs or colors.
