From old to new

With a few simple steps you can give a plain tray a fresh, summery look. We'll show you how it works.

That's what you need for the fish tray:

  • Tray (about 8 €, www.idee-shop.com)
  • Acrylic paint, white (craft shop)
  • brush
  • Computer and laser printer
  • printer paper
  • Laser Tattoo Paper (eg from Avery)
  • scissors
  • sponge

Template:

And that's how easy it is:

1. Paint the tray with acrylic paint white and let it dry.

2. Print the template at home or in the copy shop on the laser printer.

3. Print the fish on the coated side of the tattoo paper.

4. Cut out the printed motif roughly.

5. Place the adhesive paper on the tattoo paper. In a corner, begin to peel off the clear, shiny protective film between the two layers. Do not touch the adhesive surface. Gradually peel off the protective film slowly and press the adhesive paper onto the printed tattoo paper. Make sure that there are no air bubbles.

6. Cut the tattoo with scissors.

7. Place the tattoo on the tray in the desired position and press it down.

8. Wet the tattoo with a damp sponge until you see it is wet everywhere.

9. Once the backing paper is soaked, it can be pushed sideways and removed.
