NOTES:
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Use painter's tape to keep the words straight. Place an alphabet stencil of your choice down on the bag. (Shown: Initial Impressions - Quirky) (You can tape it or just hold it down.) Load a clean cosmetic sponge with Deep Turquoise. Lightly pounce the word "Maid" on the first line.
- Once you have "Maid" "f" "Honor", let dry completely. (See photo for placement.)
- Use a pen and the tracing and transfer papers to trace and transfer the ring pattern next to the "F" to spell "Of".
- Use a #1 liner brush and Yellow Gold (Metallic) to fill in the ring band. Rinse brush.
- Use the same brush and Deep Turquoise to fill in the diamond. Rinse brush.
- Use the same brush and Cotton Ball to add detail to the diamond. Rinse brush.
- Place the frame stencil from the Quirky Initial Impressions Stencil so the scrolls are at the corners of the design. Load a clean cosmetic sponge with Yellow Gold (Metallic). Lightly pounce over the scroll and repeat on all four corners. Wash stencil.
- Once the bag is fully cured, it is ready to fill with wedding party favors.
