NOTES:

- Turn the candleholder upside down. Layer the blue glass stones as water and adhere with E6000 Glue as you go. Set aside and let dry.
- Use a medium brush to paint a larger rock in Chick. Let dry.
- Transfer the pattern. Use a small brush to mix (3) parts Cotton Ball with (1) part Chick and use to paint the face and wing. Let dry. Use a small brush to paint the beak in Orange Sherbet and the cheeks in Pink Cadillac. Let dry. Use a fine point Sharpie to draw the eyes and add details. Let dry. Use E6000 Glue to adhere a feather to the back side.
- To make baby bird/birds, use smaller rock/rocks and follow the same instructions as the "Mama bird" in color of your choice. (This baby bird was created using Soft Jade.)
- Apply E6000 Glue to the middle of the "water" (glass stones). Let set for 3 minutes.
- Place "Mama" bird and "baby" bird in the "water"
