Step 1: Decide on the design of the acrylic sheet welcome board

First, decide on the design of your welcome board. * Print your favorite phrases or illustrations onto paper using a computer.

Since you'll be tracing it with the acrylic board on top, adjust the placement by cutting and pasting each part as needed. ♡

Step 2: Trace with white Posca

Once you've created a draft to trace, place the acrylic board on top. To prevent misalignment, it's a good idea to tape it at the back.

Trace over with the white Posca pen. * If you make a mistake, you can quickly erase it with a damp tissue.

If you're using a new Posca, please do a test run on a scrap paper before the real deal! ♡

Not only letters, but also drawing flower illustrations around it will make it look very stylish! *
