  How To Make
       
 

  1. Remove the backing section from the frame (do not discard as this will be replaced when the frame is dry).

  2. Tear one sheet of each tissue paper type into small squares.

  3. Brush glue onto a section of the frame. Using one type of tissue paper, place the tissue squares onto the frame overlapping them slightly and allowing the paper to wrap around the frame onto the reverse.

  4. Smooth the paper pieces gently with the brush as you go. They may appear wrinkly at this stage, but will shrink as they dry.

  5. Add more glue, then apply another colour tissue paper more randomly.

  6. Finally add the patterned paper with a coat of glue on top and leave to dry.
