INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Paint both coasters in Bright Blue.
- Mix Black Pearl and Ice Blue to make a midnight blue and paint both coasters.
- Gather leaves of various styles and remove them from the stems.
- Dry-brush the leaves with Bronze.
- Dry-brush the leaves with Bright Brass. (Don't cover the entire surface of the leaves; let some of the natural color peek through.)
- Cut the leaves individually and shape them up by tapering the bottom edges.
- Plan out a design on the tiles, making sure to set aside some leaves for the wine tags. Adhere the first layer of leaves with a strong glue like E6000, framing one side.
- Adhere another leaf to balance it out.
- Adhere two more leaves to finish the top layer, windowing the space between the others.
- Seal the entire coaster with Dishwasher-Safe Decou-Page.
- Use the remaining leaves to make wine tags, cutting a small hole in them and pushing jump rings through.
