Craft Materials:

  • Aleene's® Crafting Adhesives:

  • Wood frame
  • Foil
  • Paintbrushes: 1/2" wide, flat
  • Paper towels

Description:
For best results, please read all instructions before beginning project. Refer to photo for color and design placement. Printing Tips: Print image on a color laser printer for best results. Laser printers have toner-based ink, so it is permanent. If you print on an inkjet printer, most inkjet printers do NOT have permanent ink. So when you apply Collage Pauge, the ink may run - always test before using paper. Print on matte finish paper.

Step 1: Print out design in color and black & white.

Step 2: Remove paper or cardboard from opening of frame.

Step 3: Cut or tear words or special designs from papers you wish to be predominate on frame.

Step 4: Choose areas from remaining paper that fit shape of frame or choose an area that is desired color. Lay paper onto frame. Cut or tear pieces until there are enough to cover frame. If paper is torn it will leave a ragged white edge, which will make it look more like a collage.

Step 5: Cover work surface with paper towels. Shake bottle of Collage Pauge well. Squeeze a puddle onto foil. Working in a small area at a time, quickly brush Collage Pauge onto frame and onto back of a strip of paper. Smooth paper onto wet glue on frame. Brush a coat of Collage Pauge over paper. Dip fingers into water. Smooth out any air bubbles, starting at center and working outward in a circle.

Step 6: Repeat procedure until frame is covered. Repeat procedure to add words or special designs.

Step 7: Apply a coat of Collage Pauge. Let dry.

Step 8: Insert picture into frame.
