Tip: We recommend using a printer that is compatible with AirPrint.

Step 2: Attach a double-sided adhesive sheet

Now that the pattern has been printed, you need to attach a double-sided adhesive sheet. This will allow you to stick the drills down.

To do this, peel off one side of your adhesive sheet and stick it on top of the printed pattern.
