Instructions
-
draw and paint on your surface
-
cut yarn and ribbons to different lengths
-
its easiest to soak the yarn and ribbon with Mod Podge Ultra (seperate by color)
-
start first by placing yarn on the outlines then carefully fillig in butting each strand close to the next
-
*TIP keep the lines curved to give the illusin of movement
-
Ribbon can be put in place by soaking the tips putting it into place how you want it and spraying Mod Podge Ultra on top
-
Leave a space for beads, spray the surface where you want beads to go, pour or place the beads onto the wet surface and allow to dry completly
-
When everything is dry seal everthing and spray the entire project with Mod Podge Ultra
NotesI used the Ultra Mod Podge Matte on some of the areas, and gloss on others like the beads to keep those areas super shiny. There is a video showing the process on the blog post.
