2. Thoroughly stir paper perfect medium before applying with a palette knife to the face of the jewelry box -- use a sponge for textured effects (figure A). Sprinkle dried flower additives directly onto the wet paper perfect and gently press in place with fingers – use a pallet knife to lay delicate flowers on the surface of the medium (figure B) (figure C).
