Instructions
If you use stickers, stick on the surface, otherwise, draw with the marker the silhouette you want to mark.
Fill between the lines with the fabric paint, if you do not have fabric paint go to the next step.
Glue transparent tape on the silhouette you have drawn and cut out the silhouette with a scalpel. Remove the excess tape.
With a cotton ball soaked in soapy water, pass very delicately through the glass to remove fingerprints, making sure you do not lift the paint or sticker).
Put on gloves (the acid is very corrosive). Cover the surface you want to "burn" with plenty of paste. Make sure you do not leave any part uncovered.
Leave on for 15 minutes.
With gloves on rinse with plenty of running water. At first, the difference is not very noticeable, but it becomes evident when the water dries.
