Add Stickers to Rolling Pin

Attach foam stickers to all sides of the rolling pin, ensuring that all stickers are approximately the same distance apart. Note: This rolling pin should now be dedicated to crafting and should no longer be used with food.

Begin Applying Pattern

To create the pattern, roll the paint-covered pin across the table runner. Press down firmly when rolling the pin to create the printed pattern. Note: Don't try to apply the pattern in multiple passes, just one pass per area.

Continue Pattern

For each section, you will need to reapply paint. Carefully line up the rolling pin so each section is side by side, not overlapping. Continue until the entire table runner is covered.
