Directions:

1. Use the distress applicator to go around all edges on the die cuts. This will add a finished look and help them stand out inside the shadow box.
   
2. With your Glue Dots^® Permanent Glue Squares^®, stick the background scallop piece (with the 'Hello, Fall' sentiment glued on) to the center of the shadow box.
   
   
3. Use a few more Glue Dots^® Permanent Glue Squares^® in a few key places along the twig wreath and add that to the shadow box.
   
4. Add the remainder of the die cuts around the twig wreath and figure out where you want each piece placed. It helps to take a picture with your phone once you have them where you want to refer back to.
   
5. Use a few Glue Dots^® Permanent Glue Squares^® on each die cut and put it along the twig wreath. Once everything is down, fluff up the edges a little of each flower and leaf to help them get a little dimension.
   
6. Enjoy! This shadow box is quick to put together and will go nicely go with all your fall décor!
