Medium Expansion Pack 101910 – Mirror

Instructions:

Run assorted craft foam pieces through the Fuse machine, using assorted Fuse letterpress plates and a medium base plate instead of a die.
Apply two coats of Mod Podge to the debossed foam and allow it to dry fully.
Cut foam into random, small shapes.
Spread modeling paste onto one side of your frame front and press the foam shapes into the paste. Press gently with even pressure, making sure to not let the modeling paste ooze up higher than foam.
Continue with each of the other three sides until filled. Frost the sides of the frame as well.
Allow the frame to partially dry for a half hour. Before the paste fully sets, press a flat toothpick between foam pieces to level the paste. Allow it to dry fully and enjoy!
