• Brush
• Iron

Steps:

1. Before painting, always prewash fabric to remove sizing. Do not use fabric softener. Press to remove wrinkles. Place runner on a piece of cardboard to prevent paint from seeping through.
    
2. Shake bottles of paint well. Squeeze puddles of Golden Tan, Olive, and Chocolate onto a foam plate or foil. Dip brush into paint color and begin applying to design on runner. (we followed the design imprinted on the runner) Let dry.
    
3. Apply iron-on stones. If using a steam iron, remove all water from iron. Do not use an ironing board; lay a towel over a hard surface to iron.
    
4. Always test on inconspicuous area to avoid scorching. Position crystals glue side down on fabric. Cover with a thin cloth. Press iron on crystals and hold for 15-20 seconds; do not move iron from side to side.
    
5. Let fabric cool completely before moving.
    
6. Outline painted design areas with Tulip Gold Dimensional Paint. Let dry.
    
7. Apply ribbon border with Aleene's OK to Wash It glue. Let dry.
