The light green color is applied to the sides and top, the dark green color to the top, bottom and edge of the lid. With a cloth, white paint is applied. On the light green color, you must insist on obtaining a non-uniform background. On the dark green color, i.e. on the edges that have been worked with a chisel, the white paint marks all the reliefs, creating a marbled effect. On the top, paint a line in light green, using a plastic ruler or the edge of a small stencil (clean up after each use). Paste the carefully-cut paper napkin motifs. On the upper part, the ivy covers the light-green line in places. Use a stencil to paint the tiles dark green. Varnish the whole with varnish-glue.
