We started out by adding the glue to the hearts I what ever design Boog wanted. Afterwards he poured the salt on them, shaking off the excess. Then he used the dropper to add the water colors to the salt. But this is where things went wrong.
Boog has yet to grasp the concept of just a dab is all you need, and seeing how I know this I still ignored it. When I showed him how to add the color the yellow traveled across the salt trails beautifully. Bit when he took over he squeezed out so much water we ended up with a big soupy mess. It really is my fault, I should have known better. We let the hearts dry over night, then this morning when we went to go hang them the salt started to break and fall off. Now, I'm not sure if it's because he used so much water or is we did something wrong, but these hearts are now proudly displayed on top of our trash can. Looks like we'll have to find something else to decorate our walls with.
