These are from the book Steve is giving away. There are really some super patterns in there. I finished those last week.

Great job...

How did you do the letters?  Did you use vinyl self adhesive?  Did you cover them with anything to keep prying fingers from removing them?  Curious minds need to know..<wink>

Hi Guys
Thanks for the comments. To answer your questions, thecolours I used are from decofin made by talens, used the universal paint can be used on almost anything. I painted the letters on, I used a stencil, drew the letters on in light pencil and painted them over in black. I gave the finished product a coat of spray.
They were really fun to make, have already sold 4.

Thank you for the response on how you did the lettering.  Do you mind sharing how much you are able to get in your neck of the woods for them?
