Once you have your sections mix the ICE Resin® per the provided instructions. Lay the paper onto a trash bag (make sure this is not a recycled shopping bag as it will stick), or onto the top of a silicone craft mat. Wearing gloves and using a foam brush apply a layer of resin to both sides of the paper.

To ensure the paint is sufficiently dry before moving on to the next signature of pages I like to apply a little heat with a hair dryer set on low – this way your pages will not stick together.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCreating a Story:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOnce your resin paper has dried you are ready to assemble. Start by layering vintage sheet music and ledger paper onto the pages that is then covered with resin paper. In my journal it was all about remaining imperfect. Layers are not cut to a specific size but rather left a bit random. Once all of the paper layers are done proceed by adding a bit of machine stitching and\/or hand stitching. Ribbons and other textiles can be added in the same manner.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eOnto the top of the resin paper I added a wee bit of white paint – once dry journaling was added as well.
