Steps

Step 1 Alphabet Drawing Board Ask for an adult's help1. First thing you need to do is to put a transparent film and a piece of white paper together. There are 3 ways to do this: 1.) Sandwich the white paper in between 2 contact paper sheets; 2.) Laminate the paper using a hot laminator; 3.) Glue a sheet of acetate film on top of the paper. I did the third option but if you follow options 1 or 2, you'll come-up with a wrinkle-free drawing board.
