Directions:
- Position six dominoes, blank side up, into a rectangular shape on a flat surface.
- Stamp the image with StazOn on the domino surface (centered) and allow to dry.
- Heat set image with heat gun.
- Color the image with pencils using the blue on the flowers, wings and bubbles.
- Using the purple pencil, color over the blue areas lightly allowing both colors to mix.
- Color the leaves green.
- Position the scrap mat board on a flat surface.
- Begin adhering the dominoes, starting with the middle piece, to the scrap mat board with the Omni Stick by placing a few drops on the back of each.
- Allow the adhesive to dry.
- Working with the foam tape, create a strip about 3" long, layering and adhering six additional strips to it, repeat three more times. (This will add dimension to the frame.)
- Attach foam tape to the back of the black mat board at a diagonal.
- Once the matted dominoes have dried, adhere the mat, centering the domino art in the window.
- To create a sturdy backing for hanging, cut a piece of foam board slightly smaller than the mat (about 7.75 x 9.5").
- Cut a piece of heavy card stock the same dimensions of the foam board and adhere to one side. (This will create a finished look to the back of the wall hanging.)
- Adhere the bare side of the foam board to the back of the wall hanging and allow the piece to dry.
- If desired, attach to pull tops from aluminum cans to the back of the wall art for hangers, otherwise a small table top stand can be used for displaying.
