Blue
Gray
• 1¾" disc any color (Rollabaind®, TAC)

Instructions:
1.
Stamp the mouse
image onto the scrap cardstock with the permanent
black ink.
2.
Center your
image in the underside opening of the circle punch and punch out your image.
3.
Color your
image with the marker colors you have selected.
4.
Attach your
card stock circle to the disc using one of the glue dots. This helps your image
stay in place and not float to the top when adding the lacquer.
5.
Place your disc
on a flat surface that can remain undisturbed for a couple of days. Fill the
opening with 3D Crystal Lacquer until it has a bubble like surface. Don’t
overfill as it will run off and stick your disc to the surface it is on.
6.
If bubbles form
inside your lacquer, use a straight pin to pop them or lift them out. They will
not disappear during the drying process.
7.
Set aside for
72 hours to dry completely.
8.
Finish up your pin by attaching the tie tack finding to the back of
your disc. You will need heavy-duty glue. (Goop® works great. If it will
hold a rear view mirror to a glass window, think of how it will work on your
craft projects.)
9.
Let dry
approximately 2-3 hours.
Suggestion:
Use the
metallic discs to make tie tacks for little boys, or a more elegant pin.
