Paper Mache is
the perfect surface to cover with scrapbooking paper. It
has a slight texture that makes adding scrapbooking papers
to the surface easy and fun. The finished project
looks like you spent days to complete and it only took a few
hours.
Mosaic is very popular and creating figures is not easy
with real tile. Using DCC’s Paper Mache scrap
paper mosaic looks expensive, looks like real tile and your
project can be designed around any special occasions.

Instructions:
Paint all pieces white. Cut your scrape book paper into small
shapes that resemble broken pottery shards. Some
pieces should be large and some small. Use decoupage
medium to adhere paper pieces to the bunny leaving a small
stripe of painted white background showing between pieces
of paper. This will look like the grout
between tiles, like real mosaic. Work a small
section at a time following photograph for placement. Smooth
the papers on with your fingers. Try to smooth out
as many big wrinkles as possible.
Word Stamping:
After applying all the scrap tile papers choose a couple
of the larger scraps of paper to receive the word stamps. We
stamped "Hip Hop" and "Think Spring" to our scraps. Note
that "Think" can be on one piece and "Spring" on another. The
same with :"Hip" and "Hop." Add a coat of decoupage medium
over the entire piece. Let
dry completely. This decoupage medium dries quickly
and to a hard non-sticky finish.
Optional: Tie two or more ribbons to the eggs.
