Directions

1. Choose an image from the Sparkle Stencil and place stencil on fabric.

2. Using a small palette knife, apply a thin layer of Sparkle Paste over the stencil to fill in the image openings. To prevent over application, it is helpful to mask off unwanted areas prior to stenciling; low-tack tape like iCraft Pixie Tape works great.

3. Carefully scrape excess paste from the stencil and return it to the jar. Recap jar tightly.

4. Gently lift the stencil from fabric. Wash stencil and tools immediately in warm, soapy water. To avoid bending the stencil, use a soft brush to gently scrub away residue.

5. Let Sparkle Paste dry 1 hour; follow directions on paste for curing and heat setting.

Tips

• Be careful not to distort the delicate stencil openings when applying Sparkle Paste. We recommend using SpraynBond Pattern & Stencil Spray to secure the stencil to fabric; it won’t leave any residue on the fabric and will help prevent shifting.
•  Stencil can be used with other mediums, such as paints, markers and fabric crayons.
