Instructions in 6 steps The tray set is extremely well-suited for the combination of various pictures of nature. Putty, structure paste, golden foil and natural decorative elements – that’s all you need.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Natural twigs, hot-melt glue, paintbrush, cling foil

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Spread the putty paste over the square-shaped tray using a metallic spatula. Press the cling foil onto the still wet putty and remove it instantly. This is how a raised surface is achieved.

Step 2

Spread now the structural paste onto rectangular tray using again the metallic spatula. Using the tip of the paintbrush handle, for example, make several grooves on one side, from top to bottom, in the still wet paste. Allow to dry thoroughly.

Step 3

To make the outer edge of the large tray gold, carefully stick the doublesided adhesive tape onto the edge, remove the protective sheet and stick the mirror foil onto it.

Step 4

Glue the Icelandic moss onto two square-shaped trays using the hot-melt glue.

Step 5

Apply glue for foil in dots onto trays covered in structural paste and putty paste using the paintbrush. Let the glue dry, then put the mirror foil on.
