In the end, these six ornaments turned out great–but I would not recommend using Spectrafix Natural Glass as an adhesive. As a varnish, yes, but as an adhesive, no. Most of the paper pulled away from the mat board, and I ended up using Tacky Glue instead. The star, the Cardinal, is still questionable because I never found a good way to put it on the tree, which is a gigantic Norfolk Pine we’ve had for years and years and is now 6′ tall (including the pot). I also made a Downy Woodpecker, which turned out great.

One last lesson to remember–getting these to dry flat is difficult was they stuck to the glassine paper. I had to carefully peel it off before they were totally dry, and as a result, some of these have a wavy look.
