Directions:
1. Cut Game Board to two pieces (6 1/2 x 5 3/4 inches)
2. Glue Trim Tape around the edges of one board, make sure to miter the corners and let dry completely.
3. Decoupage ripped bits of tissue along the edge of the CD tin top using the Gel Medium. Just to overlap on to the top so your edges are covered.
4. Lightly sand the bottom of the CD tin bottom and then paint with acrylic paint and let dry completely.
5. Decoupage the inside of the bottom of the tin, overlap torn edges over the lip of the tin.
6. With the game board piece trimmed with cloth tape, glue the bottom of the CD tin to it. (It is your preference whether you glue it down to the game board side or the back. I have chosen to glue the tin to the game board side.)
7. Once dry, glue with white glue the four checkers to the bottom, one at each corner.
8. Slightly age the die cut using Distress Ink and then Dune Pigment ink. Stamp the die cut puzzle piece.
9. Decoupage tissue completely the other game board piece, making sure to cover over the edges.
10. Using white glue, glue fiber on to the board running along the edge of where the CD tin meets the board.
11. With the Diamond Glaze Randomly glue beads on the board careful to not used too big a bead close the wall of the tin or you lid will not close properly.
12. Put down beads of white glue on the fiber or near your beads and sprinkle glitter over the wet glue, once the glue is dry shake off the excess.
(The look you want to achieve is something a kin to scattered treasure from a shipwreck.)
13. Glue your die cut puzzle piece to the side of the decoupaged board.
14. Put the tin top on to its bottom, then glue the board to the top of the tin making sure that your top and bottom boards are aligned. Let dry over night.
15. Gently take off the box top. Make a loop with the ribbon and glue it to the underside of the top, perpendicular to the tin lid. Decoupage a small piece of tissue over the ribbon ends to blend it into the underside of the board.
