BURLAP TABLE COVERING
Reapply all colors as you did for the first layer, this time using a heavier application. It is not necessary to fill in all pores on the table covering; leaving some unfilled will give the burlap a rough, textured look.
FINISHING
Finishing spray is not necessary for this piece. Simply mat and frame your piece under glass, however you see fit.
Design is 55% of original. Enlarge 182% for actual size.
