Steps:

Wash & dry bell in hot soapy water prior to applying stencil.
Cut out the heart with the swirls form the top of the stencil sheet.
Center the stencil in the middle of the bell and hold in place with a piece of tape.
Rub down stencil with included stick from package and etch with the Etch cream. Follow the directions on the package.
Rinse off cream and dry glass.
To apply the flat back pearls: dab a dot of glue slightly smaller than the size of the pearl on each etched dot in the design and in the center of the flower over the heart. (The glue dries quickly, so only do a few at a time) Place pearl on glue dot and press down just until you see a rim of glue showing around edge of pearl. Let dry thoroughly. For best results hand wash glass only (dishwasher may strip off pearls)
