We also used water colors to paint a small sheet of thick paper with any design we desired. We coated the paper (once it dried) with mod podge, a white glue-like substance that dries clear. Applying the print to the mod podge, we used a squeegee to flatten out any bubbles. Once that dried, we used water to gently rub off the paper until we could clearly see the image.
