ALTERNATE TAG DIRECTIONS

1.Eliminate the white slider and cut an acetate slider instead.

2.Stamp the image on the acetate with Staz On, but turn it over and color it on the reverse side (to keep it from smearing).

3.When coloring the image, use colors such as ones that will change as the slider moves up and down. For example, use blue on the white panel and yellow on the acetate, so the image will appear green when slider is closed.
