    Steps:

    1. Sand both sides of 1/2 sheet clear Polyshrink material with very fine sandpaper. Wipe clean with paper towel to remove 'dust.'

    2. Trace Stampassions apron template onto sanded Polyshrink (figure A). Trace only 1/2 of the template. If making more than one magnet, sand a whole sheet of Polyshrink, trace the entire template and cut in half on score lines to make two magnets.

    3. Rubber-stamp dragonfly, phrase, picket fence and garden gate (all from Stampassions ) designs onto the Polyshrink apron (figure B). Color with chalks (figure C), cut out then shrink using a heat tool (figure D).

    4. Run the apron through a Xyron machine.

    5. Adhere to Pulpassions purple plaid paper to the apron. Trim around the apron and press paper firmly to seal the adhesive.

    6. Cut a three-inch length of purple plaid ribbon and adhere it to back of apron with hot glue.

    7. Cover the front of apron with Crystal Lacquer and let dry.

    8. Glue a magnet to back of apron.
