HOW TO
Select favorite images from the Instant Art Collage Book, magazines or newspapers.
Melt Clear UTEE in The Melting Pot and add in 1/4 scoop of FLEX to the pot. Once everything has completely melted THEN you may stir slowly using the Kool Toolz Spatula.
Grease up the inside of the cookie cutter with clear embossing ink (similar to Glycerin) or some other type of release agent.
Place the cookie cutter on top of the selected image.
Pour Clear UTEE into the cookie cutter, ONLY ABOUT 1/2 WAY.... no more than that. You are pouring directly on top of your selected image.
Allow UTEE to completely harden.
Cut around the cutter (with image intact) and drop into a container of warm water....or take to a running tap.
The UTEE image will slip out of the cutter. With the help of the water, begin fingering off the paper from the backside of the UTEE. A gentle back & forth movement will release most of the paper. Please don't use anything harsh, like a Brillo pad -it will scrap off the image on the UTEE.
After the paper is removed, rub on some of the Ranger Perfect Medium on the back on the UTEE piece.
Dust on some Ranger Perfect Pearls in a strong metallic color. This adds a warm glow through the transparent piece.
Use Zap-a-Gap Super Glue to adhere the sterling silver Pin Bale to the back on the UTEE piece and now you can string it on a necklace.
NOTE If you want to have jump rings in your piece, pierce through the solid UTEE using a thin tip on a wood burning tool. Tge heat from this tip will melt right through the UTEE and make a hole.
