Materials List
- Dew Drop Round Gems (The Robin's Nest) & Tear Drops

Next, apply small dots of liquid adhesive on the windows and apply yellow Dew Drops to the wet glue.

Apply sticker embellishments to a scrap of paper and carefully fussy cut the images. This allows you to be able to try different placements before you commit to attaching them. When you are satisfied with the arrangement, adhere them to the canvas. (This is a helpful tip especially if you are working with young children)
