The "I can't paint" closet door Rocket

By Nimue

If I can manage painting a rocket, then you can too. Maybe not a rocket, but you get the idea. I printed out a simple rocket clip art design, eyeballed it while using a level to pencil lines on the doors, held my breath and started painting inside the lines...and managed to not make it ugly. It's not 'Art', but it's not bad for paint-o-phobic like me. Hopefully this will encourage someone else to try something they're been afraid to.

I meant to outline the details with a black paint pen, but never got around to it. And wish I'd added a red 'cap' to the top point. The design and stickers were coated with hodge podge or mod podge, something like that (the decoupage glue) - it's held up amazingly well to abuse from my kids. (the white color in the middle is camera glare, sorry)
