  Step 1

  Cut out your cross from the plywood and sand so it’s a nice smooth finish

• Step 2

  Divide your cross into sections like you see in the photo. (The sections will each be painted differently)

• 

  Step 3

  Using your blue tape and some newspaper, cover up the cross except for one section and spray it with a color to make it solid.

• Step 4

  Wait a few minutes for it to dry and repeat until all of the sections are painted a different color.

• Step 5

  With your tape and newspaper, section off one of your painted squares and lay the nylon athletic fabric over it like a stencil and spray with a contrasting color.

• 

  Step 6

  Wait one minute and remove the fabric to reveal your pattern

• Step 7

  Do this in all the sections except the middle section. In the middle section, use some lace to break up the pattern on the cross and add some interest.

  DON’T WORRY: If you don’t like your color combinations, you can always spray over it and start again!

• 

  Step 8

  When your cross is dry, you will glue on your loteria cards in each section.

• Step 9

  With your dark blue paint, do a decorative scallop all the way around the cross and in between the sections that you’ve painted.

• Step 10

  After this dries, dot the light blue in between the scallops

• Step 11

  Take your forest green paint and dot around your loteria cards and paint small leaves around the cross.

• Step 12

  Spray with the Krylon Acrylic Clear Coat to give it a nice protected finish.
