Tips: 1) If you want to add some elements such as sequins or gemstones or hangers, do it when it’s almost cool but still soft. If you do earlier your embellishments may sink 🙂
2) Use bright colors crayons. Dark colors interflow and all look the same “some dark color” at the end.
3) Do not use too high temperature so colors do not mix up but form beautiful wash-out 🙂
