How to make

Step-1
First, lay down a protective cover in an outside area, and use the sandpaper to sand down any lumps or bumps on the exterior of the rocking horse.

Step-2
Brush off excess dust, and lay the horse on the protective cover. Shake white spray paint can thoroughly, following instructions on the side of the can. Spray in short bursts, around 20cm away from the horse. Alternatively, use the white acrylic paint and large artist loft paintbrushes to cover the horse in two layers of paint.

Step-3
Once dry, use the smaller, softer brushes, to paint over the areas that you would like to be red. This horse has a red saddle, bridle, and harness. This will need at least two coats.

Step-4
Once dry, use a clean smaller, soft brush, paint over the areas that you would like to be blue. This horse has a blue inner saddle cloth, and blue hooves. This will need at least two coats.
