Step 1
Stain one table round with the RIT liquid dye in Sunshine Orange to create the orange tray
Draw a line 1 1/2" from the edge of the tray

With a ruler, draw your orange sections
Step 2
Paint over the lines
Fill in the center and paint on the seeds
Paint the edge with Orange Sherbert
Let dry for an hour
Step 3
Paint the second table round with Scarlet to create the watermelon tray
