PEEL, PRESS & REVEAL!
Press firmly, especially
at edges and corners.
GET READY TO CREATE!
• Find a hard, flat surface on which to work.
• Keep a container nearby to discard the peel-away paper shapes as you go.
• Remove a jumbo sticker from the sticker sheet and place it on your work
surface with the white peel-away paper shapes facing up (yellow side down).
1. Peel up a section of white paper.
Choose an area and remove a peel-away paper
shape to expose the sticky surface. Peel slowly,
being careful not to tear the paper or touch the
sticky surface.
Tip: Younger children may find it easier to
remove more than one adjacent section at a
time, and then to apply sand to the larger space.
2. Press on a sand sheet.
Choose a color, remove the white protective
backing, and then lay the sand sheet over the
sticky surface (color side up and starting very
close to a corner or edge). Rub finger over sand
sheet several times to ensure sand adheres to
sticky surface.
Tip: Save the white backing paper to place
between sand sheets in order to neatly store them.
3. Reveal instant textured art!
Slowly lift the sand sheet. If there is any sticky
surface remaining without sand, reposition the
sand sheet and press again. Then, peel away
another paper shape, press on more sand, and
repeat until sticker is completed.

Helpful Hints:
• Read complete instructions before beginning and ask an adult for help as
needed.
• When peeling up a paper shape from stickers, slowly lift a single section with
one hand while your other hand secures adjacent covered sections. Apply
sand before peeling the next section.
• Plan ahead to create your designs. You can use pen to lightly mark the white
paper shapes before you remove them to remind you what colors you want
to put on certain shapes.
• To display your completed stickers, remove the yellow backing. Always ask
an adult before placing stickers on walls, doors, or furniture. Stickers are
not designed to be removable or repositionable, and may leave adhesive
residue if removed once placed. Consider drawing or painting a scene
onto which you can add the stickers to create a one-of-a-kind piece of
textured art!
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR SAND SHEETS!
To conserve sand, begin at one corner (rather than the middle) and keep the
shapes you press out very close together (see diagrams).
Start here.
Add the next
shapes nearby.
If you have little bits of sand left, patch them together to fill a larger area. (Just
press, reposition, and press again!) You can even create cool patterns by using
small sections of one color, then adding contrasting colors to fill in the rest!
When fully
utilized, sand
sheets should
look similar
to this.
Remove all packaging before giving the product
