How to do it
1. TIP: Make a useful tool from a canvas panel with a coat of Fix Glue adhesive. Let it dry and then use the canval panel as an adhesive underlay for painting the wood mosaic shapes. This makes the handling process much easier. Keep the canvas panel in a plastic pocket for later use.
2. Place the wood mosaic shapes on the adhesive canvas panel and paint the shapes with Plus Color Craft paint. Let them dry.
3. Add details using Uni Posca markers.
4. Assemble the wood mosaic shapes to make a chosen figure and glue the shapes together. Use a glue gun or Clear Multi Glue Gel. Let it dry.
5. When finished, choose between a brooch back, a magnet or a Christmas card and attach it onto the back of the wood figure. Alternatively, you may drill small holes for a piece of string for hanging.
6. Make the angel's halo from a piece of gold metal wire. A scrunched-up look is achieved by wrapping the wire around a toothpick. Attach the halo onto the back or between the wood mosaic layers. NB: remember to remove the toothpick beforehand.
