Project Instructions
Step: 1
Remove letters for title from Grungeboard™ Alpha Pack.
Step: 2
Ink letters using distress ink by rubbing pad directly onto and on the edges of Grungeboard™.
Step: 3
Place letters onto cover of book to determine placement and place Sprocket Gear for “o” in the word.
Step: 4
Adhere Grungeboard™ letters to cover by applying a small amount of Glossy Accents™ to the back of each letter and secure in place.
Step: 5
Attach largest Sprocket Gear by piercing a hole through cover with needle tool or push pin. Place a smaller gear on top of the larger one and 2 Game Spinners on top of that. Secure with included brads. Option: if you don’t want to pierce holes through cover, simply attach brads to Sprocket Gear and glue entire embellishment to cover using Glossy Accents™.
Step: 6
Remove Fragments from package and place on cover to determined spacing and your desired layout design for the mosaic. Do not glue anything at this point.
Step: 7
Lift off one Fragment and apply Glossy Accents™ to one side using the bottle tip to spread it around.
Step: 8
Immediately place Fragment onto paper side of fragment and press down. Move in a circular motion to evenly distribute adhesive.
Step: 9
Hold in place for about 10 seconds. Glossy Accents™ takes about 10 seconds to dry on paper.
Step: 10
Using the non-stick scissors, cut out Fragment and trim away excess paper.
Step: 11
Apply Glossy Accents™ to paper side of finished Fragment and adhere it to the cover.
Step: 12
Repeat above steps for remaining Fragments until cover is complete.
