OTHER SUPPLIES:
DecoArt Deco-Page Matte Glue Sealer. I prefer this to Mod Podge as it is thinner bodied, spreads well, and
dries well. If using Mod-Podge you might want to slightly thin it first.
Multi-Purpose Sealer by DecoArt
Emery Board if applying tissue paper
Americana Matte Spray Sealer/Finisher DAS13 (you can also use Krylon 1311 matte spray)
Tissue Paper. This might not be available so you can use a musical note scrap book paper instead or a
musical stamp or stencil.
Bone folder or smooth sided pen to score the edges.
Straight sided bottle or brayer
Sharp craft knife if using scrapbook paper.
600 wet/dry sandpaper, (found at automotive stores) or a piece of brown paper sack.
20 gauge black wire or cord for hanging. If using wire, small needle nose pliers and wire cutters.
Varnish of choice. My preference is JoSonja’s Polyurethane Matte Varnish
Older grey and white graphite
Drill with 1/8” bit
Usual acrylic supplies
