Resene Toys and Games with Mark Rayner - Project 32

To get the look: Mark painted the background wall with Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Dutch White.

How to play: Each player must throw a small ball through each hole in the coloured balloon. The first player to get their ball through all the colours wins.

Step two
Apply one coat of Resene Quick Dry to the pieces of plywood and allow to dry.

Step three
Apply two coats of Resene Snap to the pieces of plywood, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.

Step four
Join the pieces of plywood along the top edge using the hinges, spaced 50mm from each end.

Step five
Paint one balloon with two coats of Resene Chaos and a second balloon with two coats of Resene Orang-atan, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.
