Adding Paint to Your Mini Picket Fence

Start off by, applying a layer of white chalk paint onto your picket fence. Using a smaller paint brush you can also apply the white chalk paint to the spaces between the pickets. Set it aside, and allow it to dry.

Preparing Your Decorative Napkin and Tracing

Take your napkin, and remove the second layer. For this project, you will only want the top layer of your napkin. Once you have done so, take your napkin, and lay it out flat. Next, take your picket fence, and lay it on top of your napkin. Using your pencil begin to trace out each picket.

Cutting Out Each Traced Picket

After you have traced out your pickets, take your scissors, and begin to cut the traced pickets out. Cut each picket out, and set it aside.

Applying Mod Podge

Using your mod podge, begin to apply some mod podge over each picket. 

Next, take the napkin pieces you had previously cut, and start to add them on top of the mod podge. Using your fingers, gently press them down, and remove any wrinkles, and lines.

Take your mod podge, and apply a thin layer over each napkin piece, and picket. Once you have done this step, you can use a heat gun, or blow dryer to help with the drying. Using a smaller paint brush, take a little mod podge, and go between each picket and apply it to sections that may need it. 

Optional: Adding Paint to Your Watering Can Decoration

After, take your watering can decoration and apply your paint onto it. If you are wanting to keep the original color on the watering can, you can skip this step. 

Adding Your Watering Can Onto Picket Fence

Using your hot glue, apply a small amount onto the back of your watering can decoration, and add it to the right side of your picket fence.

Cutting and Adding Your Floral

Next, take your floral, and begin to cut them to size using your floral snips. 

Once you have cut your floral, take each piece and glue them onto the left side of your picket fence decoration. 

Optional: Adding on Your Butterfly Sticker

The last step is completely optional, but you can add a little butterfly sticker onto the corner of your watering can decoration.
