Carefully cut out the butterfly images Seal both sides with an acrylic coating Figure out your twig and butterfly placement inside of the box frame *I like to snap a photo with my phone to remember my placement Mix the Glaze Coat for 5 minutes (outside) Pour a small layer and pop the bubbles with a lighter or small torch Quickly place the twigs and butterflies in resin Pour the rest of the resin on top of your pieces Pop the bubbles again and then sprinkle glitter in the resin Cover and let dry overnight outside on a flat surface Copy real leaves on a copy machine and decoupage them on the back when dry
