Use of Varnish, Glitter, and Sand

Varnish

When you have finished the picture, please wait at least one day until the paints have dried thoroughly before applying the varnish .

Empty the contents of the small sachet into a small bowl and apply the varnish to the entire picture with a wider brush. Allow your picture to dry completely before hanging it or further embellishing it with glitter or sand.

Glitter

If your paint-by-numbers kit includes glitter, mix some of the varnish with the included glitter. Refer to the control sheet to see where the glitter should be applied. Now, spread or dab the varnish-glitter mixture onto the marked areas with a fine brush.

Sand

If your paint-by-numbers kit includes sand, apply varnish with a brush to the areas where you want to add sand accents and immediately sprinkle sand on the still-wet areas. Let the picture dry thoroughly. Finally, you can shake off any excess sand by slightly lifting or tilting the picture.
