Tip
Build up layers of spray paint for an even finish, leaving to dry fullly between each coat.
1) Mask off the base of the lantern and inside the candleholders. Working
outdoors, spray the bottom of the lantern pink, then spray each candleholder
a different colour.
2) Once dry, remove the masking tape. Sketch out your floral design onto paper. Stick the paper to the inside of the storm lantern, so you can see the design.
3) Using the nail varnish, paint the pattern on the outside of your lantern, following your drawing. Allow to dry, then add a second coat.
