ooops, am sure they can be repainted

Photo 1: I believe I put transfer paper and wording for the Welcome

***this will only work if you banner is completely DRY

make sure the graphite side is facing on your banner (to check
what side is graphite take a piece of paper, put graphite down and
with a pencil make a mark on the graphite..if it shows on your paper
then you have the right side for marking Welcome..

you might want to cut paper surrounding the welcome 'off' so it makes
it easier for you to position...then with pencil or a pen mark Welcome..IF
it doesn't work or is not clear enough for you to read I'd fake it..lol

Fake it: put the gloves where you want them to be at edge of banner and with pencil write 'WELCOME' then with black ink consistency and liner paint Welcome in black..with end of your brush, touch black paint and then the ends of your letter..would add a bit of dimension to the lettering

Now what I did and I'm not sure you have a drill available if you do, I eyed where my banner is to be and marked a dot on each side of the body in the back of the body (they none painted side) and drilled a hole..later I can screw from the back the banner to the back
if you do NOT have a drill available either wood glue or glue gun will do when it's time to put it together

So far it's coming together right?? are you shaking your head 'yes' or 'no'

You know, before I glue my pieces I'm looking at the plaid piece which has part of the coat (v shaped part) and thinking the border of the coat is missing something, so before we finish off and put it together, best we do something about it
