Fan brushes work great for applying Galaxy Glitter™.
- Use a medium brush to basecoat the tin in Antique Gold. Use a medium brush to basecoat the wheels in Grey Sky. Let dry. Use a medium brush to apply Galaxy Glitter in corresponding colors. Let dry. Use E6000 Glue to adhere the wheels to the side of the tin. Optional - Add embellishments.
- Use a medium brush to basecoat animal figurine in Carousel Pink. Let dry. Use a medium brush to apply Galaxy Glitter in Pink Cosmos.
- Use pliers to cut the wire in sections about 6" long. Use needle nose pliers to curl the end. (See photo.)
- Holding the nail with pliers, heat the tip of a nail and poke a hole at top of back of the figurine. Place the curled wire inside.
- Print a quote of your choice on cardstock. Cut into a heart shape and use a brush to apply Galaxy Glitter (in color of your choice) to the perimeter. Let dry.
- Place the animal figurine on the tin (train) and the heart-shaped card on the wire.
