Hey Stephany – maybe tell us exactly what you aren’t understanding and I will help you through it. But start with a center section and make an x. From there you will note that you have four sections that make little triangles so that you can work your way out with more tape on the painting. On each little section, using more tape as a spacer, work out. Place some more tape right beside the first section, and then more tape right beside that one. Once you can count three pieces of tape across, pull up the center section. Your outermost area should look like a triangle. It’s basically leap frogging your tape as you go, so you have equal spacing on each section with your tape – no measuring needed if you use it as your guide. I hope that helps – Maybe practice with some tape following our photos as a guide first, and it will make more sense to you!

HAHA! DO it! It’s lots of fun! ;}

Hey Jill! We just used a standard gold leaf paint – you can find it here! http://www.amazon.com/Plaid-6110-Liquid-Leaf-oz-Classic/dp/B000BZX2GS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412610191&sr=8-2&keywords=gold+leaf+paint I thought we included a photo but just kidding. ;} Hope that helps!
