Step 1
Cut the KT tape to the desired
shape for the floral tattoo. Keep
the backing on the tape until the
design is finished.
Step 2
Cover the surface of the cut piece
of KT tape lightly with liquid floral
adhesive. When the adhesive
is tacky, adhere foliage (Ruscus
leaves and bits of umbrella fern)
and small pieces of Amaranthus
onto the surface of the KT tape.
Step 3
Arrange individual blooms
(miniature Cymbidium orchids,
Ranunculus, pansies, Hypericum
berries and bits of 'Green Trick'
Dianthus) onto the surface of the
KT tape, adding more liquid floral
adhesive, as necessary. Be sure to
cover the entire surface of the KT
tape with flowers and foliage.

Step 4
To wear, remove the backing of
the KT tape, and position the floral
tattoo onto clean, dry skin.
NOTE: You may lightly mist this floral
tattoo with water or an antranspirant
spray to store it because KT tape is
waterproof. Just be sure to keep the
backing on the tape until the design
is ready to be worn.
