2. Attach the bamboo leaves:

   • Cut the bamboo leaves to the same length as the bamboo sticks.

   • Let the paint dry completely.

4. Assemble the paintbrush:

   • Insert the bamboo leaves into the handles of the paintbrush.
   • Secure the leaves with a rubber band or a piece of string.

5. Test the paintbrush:

   • Dip the paintbrush into a container of water and check if it flows smoothly.
   • Adjust the leaves and glue if necessary to ensure a consistent flow of paint.

6. Store the paintbrush:

   • Allow the paintbrush to dry completely before storing it.

Tips:

• Use high-quality bamboo for the best results.

• Test the paintbrush on a piece of paper or a cloth before using it on your artwork.
