(1) Lightly sand the entire board book (and
plastic parts too) with medium grit sandpaper, until
most of the page images are no longer visible. I
actually like to have some of the elements show through.
Paint the book cover, spine, and plastic pieces with
gesso. Rest the book in a “tent” formation on the
Non-Stick Craft Sheet to dry. Repeat with all the book
spreads, allowing gesso to dry in between. If you do not
want the page images to show through, apply additional
coats of Gesso.
(2) Using the Acrylic Paint Dabber in
Aqua, apply paint by dabbing direct-to-surface on the
covers and spine of book. Set on Non-Stick Craft Sheet
to dry. Repeat if desired for a second coat.
(3) Unscrew the cap of the Denim
Acrylic Paint Dabber and pour out a small amount of
paint onto your Non-Stick Craft Sheet. Carefully paint
movable plastic square pieces and let dry. Apply a
second coat if desired.
(4) Cut 6 photos to 1.25” x 1.25” (you
can also scan and size them on your computer too). You
can use the same 3 photos on both sides, or use 6
different ones. Apply photos to both sides of movable
squares with spray glue.
(5) Using foam stamps and the Denim
Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber, stamp the words Brag
boOk on the bottom section of the book cover.
Immediately clean stamps with water or stamp cleaner.
(6) Apply embellishments, ribbon and
fabric buttons with Glossy Accents.
(7) Follow step #2 for painting the
inside pages, allowing each to dry separately so they
don’t stick together. Once the entire book is painted,
add photos embellishments, ephemera and other mementos
as desired. Then show everyone!
