Instructions:
Step 1. Paint the fence on the one house Wicker White. Cut papers to fit to birdhouse and Mod Podge to houses. Allow to
dry and then add a topcoat.
Step 2. For the icicles trace the front of each roof onto a piece of paper. Place paper under the clear mat and begin making
the icicles with the White Mold Melts. Make sure your drips are going downward. Allow each to dry and then add
to the fronts of the houses with the melting melt in the glue gun. For the icicles on the top and edges of the roofs
sides, draw a straight line and then follow the line and making sure the icicles are going downward. Add to the
houses with the melting melt in the glue gun.
Step 3. To make the wreaths and the ornaments on the tree use the opaque colors and just drop small drips onto the clear
mat. Make enough for the wreaths in green and the some for colors for the tree. Attach with the mold melts in the
same colors.
Step 4. For the tree, snowman, and the painted fence use the stencil brush to add the Collage Clay to all. Allow to dry and
then paint the small trees Citrus Green and the snowman Pure Black and Wicker White. Allow to dry. Paint the
larger tree with Classic Green. Allow to dry and then stencil some Wicker White on the tree branches for snow.
Add the face to the snowman with the Pure Black using the liner brush. Dry brush the cheeks on with the stencil
brush dipped in Apple Red.
Step 5. Add the ornaments to large tree using the mod melts.
Step 6. Use the Mod Mold to make the “MAIL” in blue, the “PEACE” in red and the “102” in green. Add them to the houses
with the mod melts. Use the liner brush to highlight with Wicker White.
Step 7. Make the snow surrounding the houses, trees and snowman by using the White Mod Melts and layering them.
Allow the melts to dry before adding another layer
Step 8. Glue on buttons for the doorknobs, bows on the wreaths and the star on the large tree.
Step 9. To make the snow on houses thicker just keep layering and layering the roof allowing the mod melts to dry in
between.
