DIY Terrazzo Compact Mirror – Instructions:
- Open your terrazzo pattern in Silhouette Studio
- Replicate the pattern throughout the print area. If you have multiple compacts, you can use multiple patterns. Just make sure the pattern area will fit on the top of the compact
- Create a circle the size of the top of your compact on each pattern. The circle must have a line thickness greater than 0 so that you can see it when printed
- Send to print on tattoo paper
- Follow the directions on your tattoo package, and apply the clear adhesive sheet that came with your tattoo paper. Use your scraper to smooth the bubbles out
- Cut the circles
- Remove the clear adhesive paper for each one, and apply the tattoo face down to the top of the compact mirror
- Optional: After the tattoos have been applied, you can apply a sealant to protect the pattern
