• Paint each letter with a thick layer of linen acrylic paint and leave to dry.
• Trace each shape twice onto a sheet of decoupage paper in your chosen design and cut to size remembering to take account of the edge of each shape.
• Working on a flat, clean surface, place each shape face down on the back of your selected patterned paper. Flip and smooth out any crease or bubbles with a brush. Repeat on the other side.
TIP: For a shiny effect apply a think layer of PVA over the shapes once they are completely dry
