Outline Your Design
Decorating Your Trinket Box
Remember, when you are finished, you will peel your picture off of the plastic sheet as
one piece. When outlining and painting your design be sure all lines are connected and
all spaces are filled in.
You can paint directly on your trinket box or use small
pieces of dried sparkle paint to create a unique mosaic
effect. If using more than one color, the paint will blend
together creating interesting color combinations.
You can use the patterns we have included in the kit – or draw your own designs.
1. Choose your design and slide the
sheet into the plastic pattern cover
as shown.
2. Use the black or silver outliner paint
to trace your designs. Be sure to create
a continuous unbroken line.
Mosaic Look
Working on the clear sheet, squeeze out strips of sparkle
paint. Set them aside to dry. When they are completely
dry use your scissors to cut them into random mosaic
shapes. Glue the pieces onto your trinket box. Finish off
your design with glitter glue and rhinestones.
3. Set your design aside to dry. This
will take approximately 30 minutes.
Stained Glass Look
1) Using the outline paint, create shapes on your
trinket box. Let dry for about 30 minutes.
2) Fill in the outlines with sparkle paint to create
a stained glass look.
3) You can also create the shapes on your clear
sheet. Peel them off when completely dry
and then glue them onto the trinket box.
4. Before you move onto the next steps,
lightly touch the outline to be sure
it is dry.
Paint and Decorate
Now it’s time to fill in your design. For best results apply a thin even layer of paint. If the paint is
too thick it will take a long time to dry and it will be difficult to remove from the plastic sheet.
1. Fill in your design with the window colors of your choice. Hold the applicator slightly above the
plastic sheet and gently squeeze to release the paint.
2. Use the applicator tip to spread the paint around. Be sure the paint covers all open areas.
3. When you are finished painting set it aside to dry. Depending on the thickness of the paint, heat
and humidity, drying times may vary. For best results, allow your designs to dry overnight.
3-D Accents
Once your designs are completely dry, you can add rhinestones and wiggly eyes.
Use a dot of the white craft glue to stick them in place. Allow the glue to dry
completely before displaying your designs.
Peel and Press
• Gently peel the design away from the plastic sheet.
If it sticks, or is difficult to remove, it needs more
drying time.
• Press your designs against a clean window.
They cling like magic! You can display these on
mirrors too.
Your kit includes four plastic shapes - oval, heart, circle and flower.
Use these shapes to create ornaments, window decorations or even
a frame. Look on the box for samples and ideas. You can hang them
using ribbon or elastic cord.
Jewelry
Caution - if your jewelry is exposed to water or moisture,
the colors may bleed onto your skin or clothing.
Rolled Beads - Squeeze out strips of sparkle paint onto the
clear sheet. Let dry overnight. Roll the dried strips around a
pencil to make a bead –use your scissors to make the strips
smaller as needed. String these beads onto the ribbon included
to make a necklace or bracelet.
Rolled

Layered Flowers
2.) Now you’re ready to prepare the unicorn base. First bend a chenille stem in half.
1.) Using the flower pattern sheets, trace two different size
flowers. It’s a good idea to use more paint so the petals will be
thicker. You can either use outliner paint or not. If you do use it,
remember to wait for it to dry before you fill it in.
3.) Continue bending the stem to create the base of the unicorn as shown.
2.) Create a petal effect by adding dots at the edges of the flower
shapes as shown. Try using a different colors. As the paint settles,
the colors will fade together creating a cool blended effect.

about having to use glue.

Marbleizing Techniques
Ice Cream Cone
The marbleizing technique is a great way to add interest and texture to your designs.
Simply lay down the colors and then create designs using a toothpick or paper clip as shown.
1.) Fill in the ice cream cone pieces on the pattern sheet. You do not need to outline them.
Squiggly
Heart
Add a line
of paint over
a color.
Add drops
of paint over
a color.
Drag a toothpick
or paper clip
through line
of paint in a
squiggly motion.
Drag a toothpick
or paper clip
through the
middle of the
dots in one direction
to make a heart pattern.
Star burst
Add a series of
alternate color
paint circles.
Drag a toothpick
or paper clip from
the inside out in
a straight line and
repeat as many
times as you like.
Zig Zag
If you like, make your ice cream multicolored by adding more paint colors. Swirl them
together with a toothpick for a fun marble effect.
2.) Once the pieces are completely dry, use scissors to cut a slit into the cone piece as
shown. Wrap it around itself to create a cone shape.
3.) Take a wadded piece of tissue or paper towel and form it into a ball. Wrap the paper
with the ice cream piece creating a ball as shown. Press the overlap of the ice cream piece
onto itself so it stays closed.
Add a line
of paint over
a color.
Drag a toothpick
or paper clip
through line
of paint in a
zig zag pattern.
4.) Place the ice cream onto the cone while stuffing the overlapped part inside so that it
will not show. Though you do not need it, you may want to use glue to hold it together.
3D Ladybug
1.) Trace the 3D ladybug and leaf pattern with the black outline paint. Don’t forget to fill in
the black dots. Add any other details you like.
2.) Once the outline paint is completely dry,
fill in the lady bug and leaf with the 3D paint.
3.) When the paint is completely dry, stuff a wadded piece of tissue or paper towel under
the body of the ladybug. Remove any extra as needed - no paper should be sticking out.
Press the outer edge of the ladybug body onto the leaf. Use glue if you wish. – Voila!
5.) Stuff the cherry the same way you did the ice cream, only with a much smaller piece of
paper. Place the little leaf on the ice cream cone then the cherry on top. Fold the leaf up and
press it against the cherry to give it depth. Yum! Your ice cream cone is finished.
