INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lightly wipe ware with a damp sponge to prepare surface for painting.
2. Mix 1 part Cadmium Orange to 3 parts Titanium White to create a salmon color.
3. Use 2-3 solid coats of the salmon paint mixture to paint the entire tray, then allow project to dry completely.
4. Use a pencil to lightly sketch a large flower design on the inside surface of the tray.
5. Arrange an assortment of mosaic tiles to fill in the design until tray surface is completely covered. Do not glue tiles in place.
TIP: As you work, use a Wheel Mosaic Nipper to nip large tiles into smaller pieces if needed.
6. Arrange Sun Ray Glitter tiles to the center of the flower.
7. Create the petal outlines using nipped Hot Pink Foil tiles.
8. Fill in each petal using a pattern of Violet, Magenta, and Deep Purple Smoothies.
9. Fill in the remaining background area of design with a mixed arrangement of Sea Green, Aqua Green, and Persian Blue Smoothies.
10. Gather two mixing cups, a coffee stirrer to mix, and gloves. Mix the resin as the instructions suggest. You will need 3 oz. total, which would be 1.5 oz. of part A and part B. Thoroughly mix resin for two minutes, then carefully pour over the inside surface of the tray. Use a coffee stirrer or craft stick to smooth and move any pieces that shift.
11. Once complete, place project in a cool, flat, area to dry overnight.
