Dry the varnish, and Pat with fingertips to the branch, if somewhere in the left rough, then again, use fine sandpaper and coat with varnish. The workpiece should be completely smooth.

Take a simple wooden frame. Treat the surface of the frame, phoscorite and paint. The color can match with the color of the Apple of the workpiece, and may vary. Use your own taste. The back of the frame and put it on a piece of velvet fabric, make it the pattern. Add to each side of pattern 2 cm Cut fabric.
