Instructions:

Use the Squeeze ‘n Brush® paint brushes to decorate 2 sheets of the cardstock as desired. Big, bold strokes or shapes work best. Let dry.
Cut decorated cardstock into one inch wide strips.
Weave the strips to make a 12” square. Apply glue at all crossings as you weave, and under all tabs along edges. Let dry.
Use the brush to apply a layer of glue over entire woven surface. Let dry.
Use the brush to apply a layer of glue over the remaining sheet of cardstock. Place batting or newspaper in center of cardstock. Use the brush to apply a layer of glue over entire back of woven surface. Place on top of batting and smooth into place. Press edges together well. Let dry.
Use the brush to apply another layer of glue over entire mat, one side at a time, allowing top side to dry before covering other side.
