Step-by-step Instructions:

1. Grab the wooden beads you’ll be using and get the measurement of the surface. The size of the beads will be the same size you’ll be using and working within Design Space.
2. In the design space, grab a square and size it to match the measurements of the bead. This will help you visualize your project and size the text appropriately. We have rotated the square to match the diamond shape of the beads.
3. Open a text box and type in the letter you want for the baby’s initial. Change it to your desired font. Duplicate the square with the letter in it and then change the letter to the baby’s second initial. Select each letter and square, one at a time, and choose Align Center to help get the letters lined up perfectly if you’d like. 
4. Select one square and one letter layer. Choose Slice. Delete the unneeded slice layers. We are doing this to create a stencil out of the vinyl. Do the same thing with your second letter. 
5. Load some scrap vinyl onto your mat and load the mat into your machine to cut out your letters. 
6. Go ahead and click “make it”. Once the cutting is done, you can unload the mat from the machine. Give it a little burnishing and then cut away the excess vinyl before you weed it. Place transfer tape over your weeded design and burnish. 
7. Grab the beads and apply your letters. You might need to do a little burnishing again before peeling away the transfer tape.
8. Apply your acrylic paint to the cut-out letter area of your stencils. Let it dry for a few seconds and then peel off the vinyl stencil. 
9. Once the paint has dried completely, you can give it a coat of polyurethane. 
10. Now, grab the needle and some yarn and put the beads and rings together.. You can assemble it the way you want it to. When you are finished putting the pieces of the teething ring together, you can secure the end of the yarn using a lighter.
