From paper to project

  1. Check that the sheet allows cutting and the marker is compatible.

  2. Clip the outline beneath it, outside the drawing area.

  3. Trace the outline first and dry according to the ink instructions.

  4. Colour some areas while leaving others transparent.

  5. An adult cuts out the piece and checks every edge.

  6. Display it on a card or stand out of small children’s reach.

Check it with an example

A 10 cm-wide butterfly leaves room to work on both wings. Avoid hard creases because some plastics crack.

If it does not turn out as expected

Change to compatible materials if the ink rubs off. Do not try to set it with solvents or heat.
