Step 2Prepare Your Template

Prepare Your Template
First prepare your template. Lay out pieces of heavy paper and place your mold on top. Remove the stencil and tape the papers together. Because I would be laying this on a wet surface I used a card stock paper for extra durability. Trace around the bottom of the mold.

Cut out the pattern piece and lay it in the mold. If it does not lay flat trim any areas away needed to make the pattern fit the mold.

Here I traced an inner portion 1 3/4 inches in where my main design area would be, using the outer area for placement of the glow in the dark stars. Next I decided what I wanted to put in the main design area and drew guide and placement lines for my lettering.
