🖌️ Painting Tips

• Layering order: Start with background and large shapes, then add details like icing and faces.

• Dotting tools: Toothpicks or styluses work great for polka dots and candy details.

• Group-friendly setup: Pre-mix paint cups and label them with swatches for easy selection.

• Optional sealant: Use a clear matte spray to protect finished pieces, especially for display.

To bring your sign to life, gather the following:

• Paint — acrylics work best

• Brushes or small makeup sponges for smooth coverage

• Paint markers — great for crisp lettering and fine details

• Glue to attach wood layers — I recommend a gel type super glue you can get from the Dollar Store, or try E6000, Stick Fast, or Gorilla Glue

• Optional embellishments — ribbons, buttons, glitter, or anything your heart desires

• Optional finishing touch — add a clear coat spray for durability or try antique wax for a rustic aesthetic
