Instructions
-
Paint entire bracelet in gold, silver or bronze metallic for "fur" background color:
zebra = silver; tiger or jaguar = bronze; leopard, giraffe, or cheetah = gold.
On multi-part bracelet, rotate the metallic colors, so no two adjacent
parts have the same "fur." Let dry.
-
Use the photo and drawings shown here as a guide to draw spots or stripes onto the fur background and fill in with
black chalk marker. Let dry. (Note: Giraffe gets no black.)
-
For leopard or jaguar, add metallic bronze or gold spots (respectively) on top of black, as shown in photo. For giraffe,
paint bronze spots on the gold background. Let dry.
-
Check areas that need more coverage and touch up, applying black or metallic color as needed. Let dry.
-
Apply sealer to bracelet, set on foil or waxed paper so it doesn't stick, and let dry completely.
