Tips from the show

• Don't stick anything down permanently at first - place elements and move them around until you're happy with the composition, then secure.
• You can cut toppers in half and use them as layered elements or shelf-like features with dimensional pads for added depth.
• The kit contains over 156 pieces, so you don't need to be tight with embellishments - use generously to create full, beautiful designs.
