It’s always been a big debate on whether on not “it’s a small world” is a awesome attraction. There’s a lot of people who don’t like the attraction because of its repetitive song, but it’s undeniable that the decor is super cute. And the story behind “it’s a small world” and it’s truly an intriguing one. If you’re a lover of the ride like myself, you can take a virtual ride of the attraction when you aren’t at the parks!

For any shapes that are not found already pre-cut (like petals, leaves, or small dots), the desired shape can be drawn onto thin basswood sheets and cut out with scissors. Small dots can be punched out from the wood sheet using a hole punch.

Paint any basswood cutouts with a base coat of the acrylic paint. Allow to dry completely. If more details are needed, use fine-tipped paintbrushes to add details atop the base coat of paint.
