I purchased both the Chaco Paper and Stylus at Michaels Arts & Crafts. In my local Michaels store both products are in the same section as the metal leafing products. They used to be in the glue aisle, but are now on the wall next to the acrylic paints (FolkArt, Americana, etc.) <br /><br />Just to clarify--the stylus is not a pen, but a tool. It's shaped somewhat like a pen. It's a short wooden dowel with a needle-shaped piece of metal on each end, with rounded tips. I hope this helps.<br />Linda K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01498419059283219622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986635008726328071.post-25745780180270797062013-01-07T10:29:45.657-05:002013-01-07T10:29:45.657-05:00Hi Linda!

I want to try this but I am totally illiterate when it comes to the products. What do you use for the lettering??? <br /><br />Thank you!
