I wanted to share with you how I altered the funky Bo Bunny Acrylic Letters that came with the lastest weScrap Kit. The new kit is now available to purchase: Late Nights

I grabbed my alcohol inks because I just love the look it makes on acrylic.

1. Place a couple drops of your chosen color(s) onto a small piece of felt. make sure to use felt because it works the best. I ran out of mt squares but I found a great felt flower in my stash that worked quite well.

2. Lightly dab the felt onto your acrylic until to reach a look that you are happy with.

3. Next, grab your favorite stamp and some solvent ink. I always use StazOn ink when working with acrylics. This kind of ink dries well and doesn’t smudge. Let dry for a couple minutes.

4. Make sure to adhere your acrylic using a clear, liquid adhesive. I used Zip Dry on my project as well as Ranger Glossy Accent.

To see the finished project…. just continue hopping along the Blog Hop. It has been posted on my blog!

Now…. find out what **Sarah** has created to inspire you today!

Have Fun!

How to Attach a Transparency or Acrylic

Use a fine tip glue pen or tiny glue dots and place the adhesive behind printed letters or other darker printed elements on the transparency. I am a big fan of Glossy Accents by Ranger and tend to use this lot for transparencies and acrylic items.

Use adhesive such as photo tabs, double sided tape, liquid adhesive, etc if there is going to be an area of the transparency that will be covered by a photo or embellishment. Just be sure to apply your adhesive directly under the portion of the transparency or acrylic that will be covered.

Other popular ways to attach transparencies include brads, eyelets, snaps, clips, buttons, staples, photo turns, nail heads, and stitching.
