Instructions
-
Using
the 1” foam brush or the ¾” flat brush, basecoat each wood block
individually Nutmeg, Baby Blue, and Soft Apple. Allow to dry. Sand smooth using fine
grit sandpaper and reapply basecoat colors.
- Using
the No. 1 liner brush loaded with thinned Wicker White, paint a wiggle
line bordering each side of the wood blocks.
- Still
using the liner brush loaded with thinned paint, paint “Hippo”, “Tiger”,
and “Lion” on one side of each block (if those are the baby animals of
your choice).
- Cut
out the heads of each of the baby animals, a hippo, tiger, and lion. Also cut out extra circles and squares
of coordinating print papers.
- Apply
a coat of Matte Mod Podge to the backside of the paper. Place the paper cutout directly on the
wood block centering the design on each side. Smooth any air bubbles or wrinkles using
the Mod Podge squeegee.
- Once
all three blocks are designed and papers are glued in place, brush a coat
or two of Matte Mod Podge on each block.
Allow to dry.
