 Supplies used:

• Mini ocean animals
• Spray Adhesive
• Glitter
• Clear sealant spray

Directions

1. Prepare Your Workspace:

   • Cover your workspace with a disposable table cover or newspaper to protect it from adhesive and glitter.
   • Lay out your mini ocean animal figures on the covered surface.

2. Apply Spray Adhesive:

   • Hold the first mini ocean animal figure with tweezers or tongs to avoid getting adhesive on your hands.
   • Shake the spray adhesive can well and hold it about 6-8 inches away from the figure.
   • Evenly coat the figure with a light layer of spray adhesive. Ensure you cover all surfaces but avoid over-saturating.

3. Add Glitter:

   • Quickly sprinkle glitter over the adhesive-coated figure before it dries. Rotate the figure to ensure even coverage.
   • You can use one color of glitter or mix different colors for a more vibrant effect.
   • Gently tap off any excess glitter onto the covered surface.

4. Repeat Steps for All Figures:

   • Place the glittered figure aside to dry.
   • Repeat the adhesive and glitter application process for all your mini ocean animal figures.

5. Touch-Up and Seal (Optional):

   • If you notice any spots that need more glitter, use a small brush to apply additional adhesive and glitter.
   • Once all figures are completely dry, you can use a clear sealant spray to lock in the glitter and add extra durability. Spray lightly and evenly over the figures and let them dry.

6. Clean Up:

• Carefully fold the disposable table cover or newspaper to contain the excess glitter and dispose of it properly.
• Store your spray adhesive and glitter for future projects.
