Apply one or more layers of Cactus Green StazOn Studio Glaze over the taped off section of the jar. For the example I applied one layer over the entire area and a second layer between the zigzag stripes to create the dark and light green stripes found on a real watermelon.

Step 5

Remove the painters tape. You may need to use an exacto knife on stubborn areas of the tape.

Skill: Beginner

Time: 30 Minutes

Do you have a stamp and wish to use only a section of the image? Rather than trying to not get ink on a section, you can cut it. So many stamps can be turned into 2 or even 3. You can use sharp scissors but be very careful. Do NOT cut your lovely fingers!
