Instructions

2. Poke holes into the canvas with the spade drill bit, creating a heart shape.
3. Unscrew all of the light bulbs from the globe string lights.
4. Place all the light bulbs into the holes you created in the canvas.
5. Reattach the light bulbs so the globe string light wiring is behind the canvas and the light bulbs are on the front of the canvas.
6. Plug in the string lights to light up the watercolor canvas.
