Abstract
A kit and method for assembling a decorative object pattern upon a fabric article including a flat, smooth surface board, a desired number of individual stencil units, slidably situated upon the board, and held movably in place by magnetic force. The stencil units are arranged upon the board surface to create a desired stencil design. Rhinestones or other decorative objects are situated within the stencil pattern with their adhesive side down. An adhesive backed cover sheet is provided to hold the decorative object pattern in place. The cover sheet is adapted to being placed on the fabric surface, and the held objects adhered thereto.

A kit For assembling a decorative object pattern on a separate article, comprising:
- a mounting board member having a substantially flat upper surface and defined perimeter;
- a plurality of stencil units each having a lower surface and a corresponding substantially parallel upper surface, the upper surface of each individual stencil unit defining one or more cavities thereon, said parallel lower and upper surfaces defining a substantially uniform stencil thickness;
- a means of holding the lower surfaces of said stencil units against the flat upper surface of the mounting board member in a resistibly slidable relationship.
- a supply of decorative objects, each having a flat undersurface, an upper surface, and a defined height, each of said defined cavities conformed to accept therein the undersurface of a corresponding decorative object;
- each decorative object being of sufficient height so the upper surface extends to or above the flat upper surface of mounting board member when the object's lower surface is accepted within a conforming cavity;
- a cover sheet having an upper surface and an adhesive backed lower surface, said cover sheet adapted to being placed over the separate article;
- and
- a bonding means adapted to bonding the flat undersurface of the decorative objects to the separate article.

A method for assembling a decorative object pattern on a separate article comprising the following steps:
- A. Providing the following:
- A kit for assembling a decorative object pattern on a separate article, comprising:
- a mounting board member having a substantially flat upper surface and defined perimeter;
- a plurality of stencil units each having a lower surface and a corresponding substantially parallel upper surface, the upper surface of each individual stencil unit defining one or more cavities thereon, said parallel lower and upper surfaces defining a substantially uniform stencil thickness;
- a means of holding the lower surfaces of said stencil units against the flat upper surface of the mounting board member in a resistibly slidable relationship.
- a supply of decorative objects, each having a flat undersurface, an upper surface, and a defined height, each of said defined cavities conformed to accept therein the undersurface of a corresponding decorative object;
- each decorative object being of sufficient height so the upper surface extends to or above the flat upper surface of mounting board member when the object's lower surface is accepted within a conforming cavity;
- a cover sheet having an upper surface and an adhesive backed lower surface, said cover sheet adapted to being placed over the separate article;
- and
- a bonding means adapted to bonding the flat undersurface of the decorative objects to the separate article.
- B. Placing the plurality of stencil units on the mounting board and positioning said units so that the totality of the defined cavities on the plurality of stencil units forms a desired design.
- C. Holding the lower surfaces of stencil units against the flat upper surface of the mounting board member in position to maintain said desired design.
- D. Providing a means for ensuring that a corresponding decorative object is conformably placed in each defined cavity, with each defined cavity accepting the undersurface of the corresponding decorative object.
- E. Place the cover sheet, with the adhesive backed lower surface facing downwardly, in a manner to cover and contact the upper surface of each of the decorative objects, placed in the defined cavities which form the decorative design.
- F. Remove the cover sheet, with the decorative objects of the desired design attached thereto.
- G. Place said cover sheet adapted to be placed over the separate article, over the separate article with the flat underside of the decorative objects adapted to contact said separate article.
- H. Apply a heat source to the decorative objects.
