Picture of Painting the Stem
While your plaster is doing its thing, grab the glass bottle and slap on a stripe of masking tape around it. That’s your “do not paint above this line” sign. Take a sponge and dab white paint on the bottom half. You’re aiming for that frosted mushroom stem in a winter forest vibe. Also, fun fact — this layer will hide the battery pack later. So technically, this is both aesthetic and functional. (Look at me being responsible.) Peel off the tape and let it dry like a professional artist who totally knows what they’re doing.
