Instructions
- Clean the areas using the rough side of a sponge with soap and water (green sponges are our go-to).
- Begin designing with acrylic paint. We did an abstract type design inspired by this cover we were thinking of buying.
- Once layers of paint are dry, apply a layer of Mod Podge. We chose sparkle Mod Podge because we had it and thought it might be fun. But any clear coat would work.
- Let dry and apply at least 2-3 coats of Mod Podge. You want the layers to be dry.

Notes
- Place your laptop case outside in between layers of Mod Podge to help them dry quickly.
- Paint your design going from general to specific and light to dark colors.
- Have fun and create awesome artwork!
