Ideas and Ideas for This Mission
You don’t *have* to color the anchor white, nonetheless, it makes the colours of the serviette pop. Because it’s simple to do, I at all times do it. You should utilize spray paint, however craft paint is cheaper and simply as quick with a curler.
Use a primary system of Mod Podge. The end is under the serviette, so it doesn’t matter which one since you gained’t see it. I like to recommend Gloss, Matte, or Satin.
I didn’t seal the serviette on high with Mod Podge. You may, nevertheless it would possibly wrinkle. If it does, you’ll be able to re-iron it (use the parchment paper once more). Another choice is to make use of a transparent acrylic sealer on high (spray). Apply after the serviette units after which let dry.
You would possibly wish to use craft glue with the letters and stars as a result of it doesn’t dry straight away. You may transfer the letters round barely after putting to be sure you’re completely satisfied earlier than they dry.

Directions
- Paint the wooden utilizing white craft paint. Roll on one facet, let dry, and flip over. Paint different facet and let dry.
- Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the wooden; do not do the sides. Let dry 15-20 minutes and repeat.
- Whereas the Mod Podge is drying, separate the serviette from the underside layers. You should utilize tape to assist. You simply need the highest layer with the design.
- Place the serviette down onto the wooden and align. Place a bit of parchment paper on high of the serviette, and run the craft iron throughout the highest a number of occasions. If you are doing this, the Mod Podge is melting under the serviette, and the serviette is adhering. Preserve going till the serviette is totally adhered, together with the sides
- Let the wooden cool after ironing. Use an emery board to softly sand away the surplus serviette. Sanding at an angle works very properly. Proceed till all the additional serviette is eliminated. It should take a minute to get round all the sides.

- Reduce a protracted size of pink and white twine. Sizzling glue one finish to the anchor and wrap round a number of occasions. Glue in place once more and let set.
- Tie across the high of the wooden anchor to hold off, and knot in place. Use the remaining twine to hold (trim with scissors).
