Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare your workspace by laying down newspaper or a protective covering.
2. If your triangle sconce is wooden, lightly sand it to ensure paint adheres well.
3. Use painter's tape to create stripes or sections on the sconce for red, white, and blue paint.
4. Paint the sections with the corresponding colors. Allow each color to dry before removing or repositioning tape.
5. Once the paint is fully dry, remove all tape carefully.
6. Place a battery-operated tea light or small candle inside the sconce.
7. Optionally, attach twine or ribbon to the top corners of the sconce for hanging.
8. Display your patriotic lantern indoors or outdoors, enjoying the festive glow.
