Apply Mod Podge to STYROFOAM surface, then sprinkle glitter. To keep the colors neat, glitter one color at a time and let Mod Podge dry in between sections.

Later, remove skewer and adhere a ribbon hanger into the hole.

Rug Hooked Photo Frame (page 38)
The instruction incorrectly referred to the wool used as wool felt. Please
refer to the revised instruction paragraph when creating this piece.
Note: Finished size of this piece is 14” x 6”. Before beginning,
be sure to wash all your wool. This is not necessary if you are using hand-dyed
wools. Put wool into washing machine with hot water/cold rinse; use a small
amount of mild detergent (no fabric softener). Wash dark and light colors
separately. Rinse with warm water, and then put into a hot dryer with a fabric
softener sheet and a thick towel. Washing and drying shrinks fibers and tightens
the weave to prevent edges from fraying when cut and hooked.
