The Living Christ Wall-frame

Pictures for the mat:
1. Take picture out of the bag.

2. Number pictures 1-13 with pencil on reverse side.

3. Find pattern on how to cut pictures. If you trace the pattern onto the picture use crayon, not pen or pencil, because you can wipe the crayon that is left after cutting. You can also use a ruler to measure while cutting, which makes it unnecessary to trace the pictures.

4. Cut pictures being careful to cut straight and not cut too much. When in doubt leave extra on height and width - it is easier to overlap than to have gaps. Scissors work but it is easier with a paper cutter.



Mat
1. Take mat out of frame and set aside.

2. Carefully place pictures on mat as you cut them to make sure they fit.

3. Use the glue stick to glue the reverse side of the mat- all over.

4. Glue back of the pictures before gluing them down- gluing both the mat and the back of the picture creates a more permanent bond than just gluing one side.

5. After all the pictures are placed and glued, carefully wipe with a paper towel to remove any glue residue, being sure not to move pictures out of place.

6. Let sit at least 10 minutes for glue to dry. (Good time to get a treat.)

7. Clean glass with paper towel and Windex. Let dry.

8. Get out "The Living Christ, The Testimony of the Apostles."

9. Center on mat, tape from behind, put in frame.

Inexpensive way to transfer Vinyl

o

I was working on a vinyl project when I came across this tutorial for using GLAD Press n' Seal Multipurpose Sealing Wrap to transfer your vinyl pattern. It worked like a charm! It costs around $3.50 and it's about 23 yards long and 11 inches wide.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind BEFORE you follow the instructions below.

NOTE: The vinyl used is for indoor use. I rubbed down the wrap on top f each cut and lifted a little bit the top corner of each letter with a spatula before attempting to remove the vinyl from the mat. I agree that it is not the easiest way of transferring vinyl, specially with very intricate cuts, but it is very inexpensive and works with very simple cuts.

Apply the Glad Press n' Seal Multipurpose wrap to the front of your vinyl cut (sticky part of the wrap facing down).


Rub the Press n' Seal wrap over each of the letter with an old credit card.

Carefully remove the backing of the vinyl. The vinyl letters stick to the Press n' seal wrap.

Apply the letters to the surface. You may want to use a ruler to make a guideline so that your letters are straight.

Press the letters with your fingers or an applicator so that the adhesive vinyl stick to the surface and remove any air bubbles.

Peel the Press n' Seal wrap off the letters and you are pretty much done.
