Instructions

  1. Basecoat the table with Java above the tape. Allow to dry.

  3. Sand in places that would wear off over time allowing the Java to show.
  4. Wipe sand dust off with tack cloth.
  5. Enlarge the postcards to desired size on a laser jet color copier.
  6. Cut out images and Mod Podge to the table top. Refer to the photo for placement. Add a topcoat of Mod Podge. Allow to dry.
