Directions
1. Apply a base coat of acrylic paint to the outside of bread pan. Let dry.
2. Brush a coat of Quik Crackle™ over your base paint.
3. Brush on your contrasting color. It will crackle in seconds. Let dry completely before sealing with Modge Podge™ or a spray on sealer.
4. Use the hot glue gun to cover the bottom of the bread pan with the dried moss. Let the moss extend beyond the edges.
5. Arrange your flowers in a row on top of the moss and hot glue in place - gluing at the flower's center base only so you can tuck leaves under the petals.
6. Arrange the leaves so they appear to be tucked under the roses and are extending out and downward. Hot glue in place.
7. Hand baste a line of stitching down the center length of your ribbon. Pull up on the thread until the ribbon length equals the distance around the rim of the bread pan. Knot your thread and cut. Turn under each end of the ribbon. Hot glue the ribbon to the bread pan's rim.
