Instructions:

1. Top and Bottom Rows – cut 6 Shaded Spruce 3 ¼” squares and 6 Basic White 3” Squares. Adhere together.
2. Middle Row – cut Shaded Spruce 10 1/2” x 3 ¼” and Basic White 10 ¼” x 3”. Adhere layers together.
3. Using the photo as reference assemble each scene with some pieces adhered flat & others raised on Dimensionals. For the reindeer & sleigh middle row, attach the 3 reindeer and sleigh all with Dimensionals. With a 30” piece of gold cord, start at the head reindeer and tie it around the neck & knot it, move to next deer & repeat twice, when reach sleigh cut a little slit in front & tuck reins in.
4. Once all the squares are done, make yourself a ¾” frame from the DSP white backing paper to allow for proper placement of finished scenes. Use paperclips at the 4 corners to hold onto DSP. Adhere corner squares first, then middle square, finish with middle row keeping all aligned.
5. Add Embellishments and stars with glue dots. Frame as desired, but I do recommend a shadow box frame.
