Materials:
- Sizzix Dies
- Jacquard paints
- Corrugated cardboard
- Scissors
- Paint primer
- Paintbrushes
- Stamp mueslin
- Fabric tape
- Beads (optional)
Instructions:
-
After I had cut out all of my shapes using corrugated cardboard, cardboard recycled from a cereal box and cardboard rolls (cut to 2 1/2" pieces), I covered the pieces with Gesso.
-
After the pieces were coated front and back, I used various colors of Jacquard Products paints in the Neopaque and Lumiere brands. Neopaque is a highly pigmented opaque paint designed to cover dark grounds.
- I added stamp muslin and some bling to each of the napkin ring sets. I glued the cardboard roll to the back of the shapes to serve as a ring, and added fabric tape to further enhance the durability of the rings.
