Steps:

  1. Print two pictures, one for back and one for front. I cut them into circle shapes because the wood was circular.

  3. Mixing Elmer's glue all and water, I stirred to make a paste consistency, not too thick and not too runny. Then, I painted three coats of glue on each side of the circle, one picture on one side and one picture on the other. I let is dry about 45 minutes between coats.
