| Instructions |
- Use the paintbrush and Dried Marigold Crackle Paint to cover the surface of the dictionary paper. Note: If large crackles are desired, apply a thick coat of Crackle Paint. If small crackles are preferred, apply a thin coat. The paper will curl slightly as it dries. Set the page aside to dry.
- Flatten the paper out, then use a sponge and brown ink to rub across the crackles to highlight. Punch several flower shapes from dictionary paper, then use the brown ink pad to antique the back side of each flower.
- Punch a flower shape from black cardstock. Arrange the dictionary paper flower shapes on top of the black cardstock flower shape. When pleased with the arrangement, apply a small amount Diamond Glaze to each center to secure.
- Thread the seed beads onto craft wire, then thread the ends through the holes in the flower button, twisting ends on the back side of the button. Center and adhere onto the black button. Apply Diamond Glaze over the surface of the buttons and sprinkle with brown seed beads. Set aside to dry.
- Cut a 3⁄4" square from black cardstock and glue to the center on the back side of the flower shape. Adhere the pin back to the black square. Turn the flower shape over, then center and adhere the button as shown in project photo.
