CIY Staff Tips

You will need to combine 2 shades of color glue to make certain colors. Mix yellow and red to make orange, as well as blue and red to make purple.
For a puffier rainbow and cloud, be sure to build up the glue mixture when applying to cardstock, and experiment with more shaving cream for an even fluffier texture.
