Step 2: Take clear packaging tape, and go over all the letters. I like to call it the poor man's laminate. This will add a bit of sturdiness to the paper when it's time to cut and paint.

Step 3: Carefully cut out the letters with an exacto knife. Be sure to save the middle of the A's and the R.

Step 4: Pin the print onto your mat, take care to pin down the point parts that may flop up. The tighter the pin job, the less likely it is that paint will wander underneath the paper.
