Cut a piece of wax paper so it is the same size as a piece of computer paper (8 1/2 x 11") then load it into your printer. Print our free French Patisserie Printable onto the wax paper and then center it on the tray. Tape to hold in place. Use a credit card, or something similar to press and rub the ink from the wax paper onto the tray.
