Step 4 On the clock face, using white acrylic paint, paint the smaller circle that was drawn out in Step 1. Paint 2-3 layers drying in between with a hairdryer until the circle is opaque.

Step 5 Paint the remaining clock face (the outer ring) with a mixture of black and aqua acrylic paint.

Step 6 Remove 2 layers of napkin from the cut out circle/image, leaving only the topmost layer with the image.

Step 12 (3d Stencil on outer dark green ring) Using masking tape, tape out the sections that are not wanted on the stencil. Then place the stencil on the outer dark green ring and spread some texture paste over the sections that are desired. Lift the stencil up slowly. Repeat this step slowly until the whole outer ring is covered with the desired designs, making sure to wash and dry the stencil in between every application.
