Instructions:
Top and Bottom Rows – cut 6 Shaded Spruce 3 ¼” squares and 6 Basic White 3” Squares. Adhere together.
Middle Row – cut Shaded Spruce 10 1/2” x 3 ¼” and Basic White 10 ¼” x 3”. Adhere layers together.
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.
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.
Add Embellishments and stars with glue dots. Frame as desired, but I do recommend a shadow box frame.
