Place desired adhesive silk-screen on crate and press firmly to seal.

Using the craft squeegee, apply a thin layer of paint on top of the stencil. I like to smear the paint in multiple directions to assure the entire area is covered.

Carefully lift off adhesive silk-screen while paint is still wet. Set aside to dry completely.

Clean silk-screen with warm water and dry completely. Repeat as needed with multiple images.
