Instructions
Lie bag flat and position your stencil where you want it to go on the bag. Fix in place with sticky tape or masking tape.
Place cardboard or similar inside bag to stop paint leaking through to the other side.
Step 3 and Step 4
Using a small piece of sponge, dip into the Resene testpot and dab paint inside the stencil until it is filled in.
Wait 15 minutes for the stencil to dry then peel off. Tape stencil to another part of the bag and repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have 3 leaf designs. Leave to dry completely.
