Marabu YUKON GOLD CREAM

The metallic effect cream contains wax and should therefore be applied using either a sponge or a cloth.

How it is done:

First, draw out your design using a pencil. Practice beforehand on a piece of paper. Once you have chosen your message, transfer it directly onto a thin piece of balsa wood.
Carefully cut out the design using a pair of nail scissors. These scissors are ideal for removing protruding corners and untidy bits.
Stick some masking tape or tape over the sections that you wish to leave unpainted. Give the paint a good stir and apply using the painting sponge. Leave the paint to dry thoroughly before carefully peeling back the tape. Finally, feed the leather cord through a hole in one of the letters and tie in a knot. If you wish, you can finish up by polishing the paint using a soft cloth to create an effective gloss.
