10 DO IT YOURSELF Summer 2020

DOODLE CRAFT Embellish a tabletop with a marking pen and

drops of colorful resin, above. Draw organic shapes such as

leaves, berries, and flowers, filling the surface with designs. If

you’re not sure of your doodling skills, opt for stamps or stencils.

To create the three-dimensional effect, fill areas of the design

by dipping the tip of an artist’s brush into tinted resin and then

gently tapping onto desired spot.
