Using an Xacto blade remove any imperfections or tag edges on the Dress Form pieces.

Let these dry well before proceeding to the next step.

Shake the Liquid Gold Pen thoroughly before using. Apply the Liquid gold to the bottom ‘cage’ part of the form and also to the top neck piece.
The Gold Marker will look like metal when it’s applied to the plastic.

Gold or Silver Metallic stickers may be purchased at Dollar or Bargain Stores as well as drugstores. Chose stickers with small designs and swirls.

|
|
To make Metallic Blue or Metallic Red stickers, use the color permanent pens and just color over the silver stickers, by rubbing the color pens across it.
Note on the picture where the blue stickers are and the white is showing. This shows that you do not have to follow the line of design, just scribble right over the design area so that when the sticker is removed, the design will all be filled in with color.

Study your form and your stickers and plan where you would like to apply the stickers.
Remove the stickers carefully from the sheet and apply them to the dress form in a pleasing manner. Take your time going around curves.

Using an all black form gives interesting ‘negative space’. You can do as little or as much decorating as you wish, making each one unique
|
|
|
|
Once you have set your sticker design, use a small dab of craft glue to keep the ends in place. You will see that sometimes along a curve, the end may be sticking up. To ensure that the design is permanent, take your time in gluing these pieces down.

The color of the sticker changes the look of the dress form. This would give a unique look in a sewing room or a dress shop. Dare to be different!
