INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before you begin: The number one thing to know about this project: use what you have! The cuteness is in the creativity, not the uniformity!

2. We started with a Sunflower strip. Using our Wheel Mosaic Cutter, we nipped off a two inch section and two diagonal chips into a nipping basket. Using a swab with a small amount of glue, secure the first monster into place.

3. For our middle monster, we used an Amazon Green Opal Rod and nipped it into small dots. Before adhering the glue to the glass, we sketched a rough outline of the circle. Then, we applied a small amount of Klyr-Fire and placed the dots on top. (Place them in tight and close together!)

4. Using your wheel mosaic cutter, cut a funky square out of your Orange Opal Opaque Block. Glue to the slab.

5. Now it’s time to embellish these crazy little monsters! We used stringers, bits and pebbles to create their faces. A leftover chip from your Sunflower Strip works perfectly as a mouth.

6. Outline your piece with Medium Blue Opal Stringers. Snap into place and secure with a dot of glue.

7. Let Dry. Contour fuse using the 6 segment program provided.
