Print Project

Step 1

First, click here to download and print the template.
TIP: You will have to tile the pages when you print them, then tape them together to make one large rainbow.

Step 2

Lay the graphite transfer paper, graphite side down, onto the front of the foam board. Now, lay the rainbow in place on top of the graphite paper. Lightly tape it to hold it in place.

Step 3

Now, trace the rainbow. Pressing firmly with a pencil will transfer the graphite to the board where you press. Remove the pattern.

Step 4

Paint the rainbow. You will need several coats of paint for good coverage. Be sure to let each coat dry before adding another.

Step 5

Cut a piece of white poster board to fit under your rainbow. Adhere it into place.

Step 6

Spell out your message using the black vinyl letters and use a tape runner to attach.
