Place domino on a work surface and sand lightly.

Stamp desired image on domino using Waterproof brown ink.
3.
Color the design with the Sharpies and blend the colors with the Q-tips.
4.
Heat set the domino with the Embossing Gun.
5.
To give the domino a protective coating, emboss the top. Ink top of
domino with clear embossing pad, sprinkle on the clear powder, and emboss with
the heat gun. One coat should be enough.
6.
Finish edges by applying copper leafing pen according to package
directions. Let the domino dry.
7.
Wrap the Domino with the copper wire. Take a long piece of the wire,
twist it near the edge of the domino, and bring the wire up to the top and bend
into a design. This hanger has a leaf motif. Use a cuticle stick to make
curlicues. Wrap the bottom of the domino next. Pull another piece of long wire
through the holes and twist around the bottom. Create a wire design by bringing
it into the middle and twisting firmly. Separate the wires and attach the bead
while knotting in between. To end the wire, twist and poke it back into the bead
hole.
8.
You can hang the domino by the two leaves of the hanger.
