Instructions
Step 1
Clean the surface of the ornament using rubbing alcohol then let dry.
Step 2
Write letters on the ornament using an ultra-fine point marker. Ensure there is enough spaces between letters as the flat backs may be larger than the point of the marker.
Use the marker to mark dots or areas of embellishment at the top of the ornament. Let the ink dry.
Step 3
Mix Devcon® 2-part epoxy according to manufacturer's instructions.
Step 4
Using a toothpick, place a very small dot of epoxy at the beginning of the first letter. Use a flat back positioner to pick up a flat back and press it into the epoxy. Make adjustments using a clean toothpick before the epoxy sets.
Repeat until the first letter is complete then set aside to dry.
Step 5
Repeat Step 4 with the remaining letters and the top part of the ornament.
