Step 3 Transfer the Templates

For this step you'll need your prepared templates, bone folder and illustration board.

Turn the prepared template, traced side down onto your illustration board. I align my templates with the flat sides of my board to reduce the number of cuts I have to make later (Photo 1). Hold the template steady with your hand and with the bone folder or another burnishing device, rub along the backside of the pre-traced lines (Photo 2). When you finish rubbing the entire design, you should have transferred the template to your illustration board as seen in Photos 3 and 4.
