Materials

  • Moon shaped wood cutout, Michaels
  • Yellow and White acrylic craft paint (any brand)
  • Kreinik Iron-On #16 Braid in 6710 Coconut
  • Kreinik Iron-On 1/8" Ribbon in 6710 Coconut
  • Household iron or mini iron
  • Kreinik Teflon Press Cloth
  • Paintbrush, pencil, scissors

Instructions:

  • Paint your moon shape with the acrylic paint.  Blend the yellow and white together to create a varied look.  Allow to dry completely.
  • Trace your "crater" circles onto your moon lightly.  Using your Coconut braid, outline each circle. (Here's how to use iron-on thread: Turn your iron on to the highest heat setting and let it heat thoroughly. Lay your thread at a starting point, cover with a Teflon Press Cloth, and press for several seconds until the thread adheres.)
  • Outline your moon with the Coconut Ribbon.

Tip: "Charge" the fluorescent thread by setting your design in the sun for a few hours.  The moon will glow in the dark!
