  • Remove any art or cardboard backer from your frame. You may have to cut into the back with a craft knife to do so. Set the cardboard aside.

  • Mod Podge all the flowers, including the stems and leaves, to the backer paper. Let it dry for 15 - 20 minutes and then add the flower pot. Give the entire thing a coat of Mod Podge and then let it dry again.

Notes

Tips for working with Dimensional Magic:
  • Make sure the substrate underneath is completely dry - or DM can become cloudy
  • Do not dry Dimensional Magic under a fan. This can cause it to crack.
