Kraft paper - Use pencil to draw the pattern (figure A) onto kraft paper to fit size of glass tabletop. Use ruler, straightedge and circle compass to make accurate lines. Go over all lines with black marking pen.
- Determine which color each shape will be and mark the spaces on the pattern with the color name.
- Place pattern under glass. Clean glass thoroughly and remove all lint.
- Begin with one color area and mask off all other areas with tape. Following manufacturer's instructions on spray can, work in an area that is well ventilated. Spray first color (figure B), allow to set up about 30 minutes, then carefully remove the tape. Allow to dry several hours.
- Tape off next area and repeat with second color.
- To make circles and half-circles, place low-tack tape in an overlapping square over circle area. Trace circle onto tape and cut out inside circle with craft knife. Spray desired color (figure C).
- When design is complete and has dried thoroughly, use a paint pen and straightedge to mark "leading" lines (figure D).
- Finished tabletop is placed painted side down on glass table base.
