6. Place the “Be My” above the lips on one side and the “Valentine” below the lips. Overlap the edges of the stencils where they meet so you will not have to put a strip of masking tape between them later
7. Pick out all the pieces of the stencil with the Stylus using the pointed end
8. Overlap pieces of masking tape in all open areas of the cube that will not be etched.
