What you do
Brainstorm: Consider imagery related to the Harry Potter series and brainstorm various ideas for your decorative sticker designs.
Sketch: Create sketches for your Harry Potter decorative stickers. Keep the designs relatively simple as "deco pens" have thick tips and are not suited for intricate details.
Ink and Color: Choose several of your favorite ideas and outline them with a black permanent marker, then add color.
Black Deco Outline: Place a sheet of clear film over your design and trace the outlines using a black "deco pen."
Allow to Dry: Once you've completed a design, set it aside to let the black lines dry. While it's drying, you can start outlining a second design.
Color: Once the black outlines on your first design have dried enough, you can proceed to fill the shapes in with glass deco pens.
Color the Second Design: Allow the colors on your first sticker to dry and then proceed to color in the black outlines of your second sticker.
