Instructions

  1. Paint the letter with two coats of Inca Gold. Allow for dry time.
  2. Punch small squares from the scrapbook paper.
  3. Apply a thin coat of Mod Podge to the back of the cut paper squares.  Position the paper squares on the letter in a random pattern. Trim some the squares smaller and position them along the edges of the letter. Smooth with your fingers to remove any air-bubbles.  Apply a top-coat of Mod Podge to the letter.  Dry for 4 hours before moving on to the next step.
  4. Gently squeeze Dimensional Magic over each square. If you get an air-bubble, pop it with a sewing pin. Allow the project to dry undisturbed for 4 hours (more for humid weather) undisturbed. This will create a glassy finish over each paper tile.

PROJECT TIP: Add more embellishments by dropping small charms, beads or micro caviar into the Dimensional Magic before it begins to set.
