Instructions:

Cut your tissue paper into small squares.
Mist the ornament with the spray bottle to help the tissue paper stick.
Have your child place the tissue paper onto their ornament. We found that lightly misting the paper while you are working helps it stick better.
Make sure all of the tissue paper is thoroughly wet.
Let the ornament dry. Ours only took about an hour.
When the paper is dry, remove it from the ornament and discard it.
Optional: Decorate with permanent marker. We used a metallic marker and it turned out so fun!
Seal the ornament with the acrylic spray and let dry.
