Step 5
Method for the skull and crossbones: photocopy the skull and crossbones on page 86. Cut out the shapes. Centre the pattern on the back piece and trace the shapes of the design with the tailor’s chalk. Put the adhesive on a paper plate. Pick up one lead-glass bead or rhinestone with the tweezers, dip the bottom in the adhesive and place on the contour of the design. Position the beads like this one by one, first on the contour of the skull placed 5mm (¼in) apart, then arranged over the entire surface. Leave to dry for six hours.
Tip: the layer of adhesive must be fairly thick to resist wear. The adhesive becomes completely transparent when dry.
