Instructions
1.
Using Cricut Printing Press cartridge, cut the words
LOVE and LAUGH in assorted sizes. Use Shadow, Tall and Character
features as well as a mixed assortment of upper and lowercase letters
so that you have a variety of sizes and styles. Try using Real Dial
Size as well for even more variety!

Optional - To add even more texture and interest to
your purse, emboss larger letters using the Cuttlebug Cut and Emboss
system.
3.
Adhere all letters to the tin, starting with larger
sized words.
Use individual letters to fill smaller spaces. Modge Podge is a
great glue for this step.

Paint over all letters using a light brown acrylic
paint.

Add detail and depth to the tin using white, dark
brown and teal paints. Use a stencil brush to apply small amounts
at a time and rub them in to blend well.

you on your next night out and enjoy your creativity!
