About the Jazzy Dog Cloisonné Kit

Difficulty Level: Easy ★★

This level is ideal for both beginners who want to challenge themselves and those with some experience who enjoy a bit of flexibility in their projects. The process is simple and straightforward, but there are a few details or small complexities that might require a bit more attention. These can be easily handled with focus, and the design can always be personalized to your liking. If a specific detail feels too complex or intricate, you’re free to simplify or remove it based on your comfort level.

Flexibility: The patterns and steps are designed to be adaptable, allowing you to customize the project as you gain confidence. Whether you’re looking to simplify the design or add your unique touch, you have the flexibility to make adjustments that suit your needs and skills.

Note: Typically, larger sizes are easier to work with for the same pattern, as they offer more space for detailed work and allow for a more relaxed approach.

How to make it? 

1. Apply Glue

Apply wire-fixing glue (i.e., B-7000 glue) along the printed lines. Wait for 3-5 minutes, or until the glue will no long stick to your finger if touched lightly. While waiting for the glue to set, use the wire straightening boards to straighten wire.

2. Wire Work

Use tweezers to help place and shape the wire while sticking it to the board. Make sure the wire oriented vertically and forms a tight connection to the board. Use a straightening board to gently press the wire down, ensuring that the wirework is even and level throughout.

3. Prepare Colored Sand

Wash the sand by filling the included cups of sand with some water and a drop of dish soap, shake well, and rinse carefully.  When clean, there will be no bubbles, and the sand will settle on the bottom of the cup. Slowly pour out as much water as possible and add a small amount of sand-fixing glue (1 part glue for every three parts of the remaining water) and mix well.

4. Coloring

Spray the board with water. Fill the sand between wires with the included painting knife or dropper. Sand should be filled to about 1/2 to 2/3 the height of the wire. Use droppers to remove any sand outside the desired areas.

5. Make Adjustments

Inspect each part of your work and make any necessary adjustments. If the sand appears uneven, spray a little water and gently shake the board to level it out. Be careful not to let the sand shift into unwanted areas.

6. Sealing

Allow your work to sit for a few hours, or until no water is visible but the sand is still slightly damp, then spray a thin layer of laminating glue on your artwork. The glue will appear white initially but will become transparent as it dries. Wait 36 hours or until the surface is fully dry.

And there you have it—a stunning artwork made by you! 🎨✨
