Steps:
1. Sand the glossy finish off a wooden bead.
2. Stamp an image onto white copy paper with a permanent black ink.
3. Put a little Perfect Paper Adhesive into a dish and dilute it so that it is half water and half glue. Tear the stamped image into little pieces and use the foam brush to glue them to the bead.
4. Use the back of your nail or a bone folder to press the seams down. You want the glued papers to be really flat.
8. Coat the bead with Treasure Crystal Cote or a high-gloss coating of your choice. Let dry 24 hours.
9. To make the tassel: Cut a piece of cardboard to the length that you want the tassel to be. Wrap it with yarn several times around.
10. Tie a cord around the fibers and cut them off the cardboard. Slip through the bead and you are done!
Tips:
Use gel pens, metallic ink pens and permanent markers to color the bead in detail.
If you stamp a lady's face, be sure to color the eye white with a white pen. It will wake her up instantly and make your picture prettier.
