No Kings Chalk Demo
I recommend using a powder form chalk. You can order them from places like Amazon (click here for the kind I used in the sample video), or make you own. See my video for an example of how this worked for me, and how I applied the powder.
UPDATE: We did a test with Spray Chalk which worked well, but paper templates will be degraded after a few uses. We will try to do a test with an acetate template ASAP and update you accordingly.

- This template was designed for a Cricut Machine but is likely to work with other machines or by hand
- It is sized for 11×17 sized heavy card stock
- There are 3 templates total
- #1: Date & Time of event (skip this one if you live in another area and just freehand that portion)
- #2: No Kings text
- #3: Crown and X – do the crown first, then use the ‘X’ over the crown
- I recommend using a bright yellow for the crown & bright pink, red or orange for the ‘X’
