Metallic Markers on Black PolyShrink

Make your own hand-lettered embellishments! It's a wonderful way to personalize any project.

PolyShrink type: Black

Art Supplies: Markers- Krylon Leafing, Marvy Liquid Copper (also comes in gold and silver, and Prismacolor (in a variety of metallic colors)

Sizing:

Estimate the amount of shrunk size at a little under half the original dimensions, or see the PolyShrink Ruler instructions for how to get the exact finished size you want.

Once you've determined the correct size you want, cut several strips from a sheet of Black PolyShrink.

Test the flow of your pen on paper first, then draw your first letter. (Shrinking will improve the look of efforts that are less than perfect!)

For separate letters, trim the letter from the strip, or continue lettering on the rest of the strip.

At right, letters after baking.

A coat of sealer is recommended.
