STICKY FINGER INSTRUCTIONS

1.Place 1 wax ball in the cardboard box.

2. Using a hairdryer direct the heat into the cardboard box to soften the wax. This is to smooth over the wax and make sure you have a nice shape to work with.

3. Remove the wax out of the cardboard box and gently squash wax directly onto the cardboard box lid with the baking paper. Make sure you have a steady flat surface underneath.

4. With the red wax stuck to the paper, heat the wax with the hair dryer again. The wax colour will become shiny and white, It is now the right temperature to take an impression of your finger print.

5.Press the finger into the wax.

To ensure the best results:

- The recommended age for this process is 16 month and up.

-Note where there is more fingerprint detail. There are more unique details lower down the finger, closer to the first knuckle.

-When pressing down don’t squeeze the wax too flat. The shape of the wax impression you make will be a good indication of the final pendant shape.

-If you are not happy with the result, reheat and ball up the wax to start again.

-The pendants can be made double sided. The impression in the wax just needs to be taken at the same time.

7.Let the wax cool down before touching it. Carefully remove the wax from the baking paper, the baking paper may be removed so that the wax can easily be peeled away.

8.Place the waxes into the round container with the paper disc. Send the round container and box

packaging back in the enclosed addressed parcel.
