With a Sponge Dauber repeat the above using the StazOn Studio Glaze Cloudy sky.

 

Step 3

Place Tear It! Tape around the mid section of the glasses.

 

Step 4

Place the jute cord over the Tear It! Tape and wrap around to cover.

 

Step 5

Die-cut heart shapes of the SHEET metal in two different sizes. (If you don’t have a die cutting machine, use scissors to easily cut heart shapes of the SHEET metal).

 

Step 6

Cover with the StazOn Black Cherry using a Sponge Dauber.

 

Step 7

Continue with the StazOn Studio Glaze Claret.

 

Step 8

Lightly sand the SHEET metal hearts to reveal the silver color.
