move the soap. Saturate this de-
sign with the soap and water
mixture, then remove the excess
moisture by partially drying the
saturated design or by applying
sheet of blotting paper. Place
the material or fabric to which
the design is to be transferred on
a hard, fiat surface, and lay the
design face down upon the mate
rial. Cover with dry sheet OF
thick paper or two TO- of news
paper, and with the bowl of

until the design is entirely trans
ferred, being careful to rub from

When rubbing you can see
if enough pressure is being ap-
piled by lifting the corner OF the
design. to note hoy veil it is
taking. Do not wet the ma

process is very simple, and with .
little care you can easily make
rerfect transfers to any kind OF
