INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Allow to dry between steps.
- Print off the monogram on a computer in your favorite font or draw by hand.
- Use scissors to cut out a piece of Contac® paper out that is bigger than your design.
- Use a marker to trace the pattern onto Contac® paper.
- Use an X-Acto® knife to cut out the design.
- Use household objects (like an old bowl or dinner plate) to make a circle and just dot with a marker to lightly outline. (You do not need to make heavy marks.)
- Use the 3/4” flat brush to paint the entire circle Carousel Pink. Rinse the brush; let tote dry completely.
- Position the letter stencil from step 4 onto the tote where you would like it, remove the backing paper, and firmly press down the Contac® paper.
- Dip a cosmetic sponge into Snow White. Dab off the excess paint before putting on bag. Use light coats to dab all over the letters.
