Instructions:
1. Follow basic set up instructions for the Creative HotMarks™. Attach the letter "R" from the Creative HotStamps™ Alphabet Set to the Pen. Plug in, turn switch "on" and allow to heat.

2. Stamp the letter "R" onto the paper maché tag. Turn switch "off" and allow Creative HotMarks™ to cool.

3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 using the "I" and "P" Alphabet HotStamps™.

5. When Creative HotMarks™ is cool, attach the Tapered Point to the Pen. Turn switch "on" and allow to heat.

6. With the Tapered Point, create the periods in between each letter - refer to finished model photo for placement.

7. Using a paint brush, paint the tag silver. Let dry.

8. Cut out grass blade shapes from green scraps of paper. Adhere to tag as shown in photo.

9. Use a fine tip black marker to create " gravestone cracks" in the tag. You can also use the black marker to darken the "R.I.P."

Note: Before you begin, the Creative HotMarks™ tool works best when used with the Walnut Hollow™ Tempered Glass Mat. It will ensure that your work area will not be damaged from heat. Use masking tape to secure the Pen holder to the work surface. Attach and tighten with pliers the Point you are going to use on the Creative HotMarks™. Plug Pen in and turn switch "on". It usually takes 3-4 minutes for the Pen to heat. Remember when changing Points, they are hot and need pliers to remove or attach to the Creative HotMarks™. After removing the hot Points, place them in the molded tray of the Tempered Glass Mat to cool.
