INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lightly wipe ware with a damp sponge to prepare surface for painting.
2. Mix 1 part Neon Green to 1 part Neon Yellow to create a bright lemongrass color. Use this color to paint the canvas surface. Let dry.
3. Cut out small triangles from an assortment of patterned paper designs, then use a glue stick to adhere each triangle to the canvas.
4. Use a foam brush to brush on 1-2 coats of Collage Pauge over the canvas surface. This fast-drying decoupage will instantly seal the paper cut-outs to the canvas surface. Let dry.
5. Use a pencil to lightly sketch the block letter of your choice.
6. Use a hot glue gun to fill in the letter shape with 1 layer of buttons. Once you complete the first layer of buttons, attach additional layers of buttons to fill in any gaps.
TIP: To get rid of pesky hot glue strings, blast your project with a hair dryer for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Watch as the glue strings instantly disappear!
