Estimated time: 8 hours

Firstly prepare the workplace. Firstly stick the stencil to a table. If your picture is symmetric, then you can use a stencil only for the half of the table. It is also recommended to stick the white paper to the back size of the countertop, this will ease the work on the drawing. Start to draw the contours from the center of a table, and move to the edges.  

Another important thing, is to leave the contour to dry before you start to draw with the colorful paint. Press the tube evenly to receive the three-dimensional lines of the equal thickness. 

After you finish working with a contour, leave the table to dry. If you are in hurry, use the hairdryer. But the best solution is to leave the table overnight. Start painting the table from the center, and move to the edges.  Paint the details with one color, and then take another paint for the other details.

Stained-glass paints have a distinctive property: they have transparency at full color preservation. This they are attractive for handmade lovers.

After you finish the work, leave the countertop to dry in horizontal position. After the paints completely dry, place the table top on the metal base. Enjoy the result of your glory!
