Materials I used: Craft paint Mod Podge Paint brushes Tissue paper streamer left over from a birthday party 3 years ago. I added two coats of paint to the areas I wanted to cover. After the paint was dry, I brushed on a layer of Mod Podge to the first handle. While the Mod Podge was still wet, I immediately b
