  • Let the glue dry overnight. If the glue settles flat, go over the design one more time directly on top of the dried glue. Let dry again.

Notes

  • The only thing I had to purchase for this project was a canvas - I had the glue and paint on hand.
  • Glue from a bottle with a writer tip was used for this project, but you can also use hot glue or dimensional fabric paint. The hot glue is great except for the stringing. If you use hot glue, blast the canvas with a hair dryer after you're done to melt all the stringies.
