Tracing
Place a sheet of graphite/carbon paper directly on top of your workpiece (piece of wood or some other medium)
Place the printed pattern on top and trace firmly over the design so it transfers to your workpiece.
Using stencils
Cut out the pattern to form a stencil and trace it directly on the surface. Refer to our post about other ways to make stencils! You can purchase the stencils from any brick and mortar shop or from online shops.
