2. Place the paper over a sheet of A4 Printing Foam and trace over the lines of the symbol.

3. Take away the paper and use a Ballpoint pen to go over the lines directly on the Printing Foam.

4. Paint the Dual Fabric Paint onto the Printing Foam in the colours selected and press the painted Printing Foam onto the Calico Bag. Press the back of the foam with your hand.
