What are Furniture Transfers?

How To Use Furniture Transfers To Decorate?

Applying transfers might seem intimidating, but it is the opposite. They are the easiest and the most affordable way to redecorate your space.

• Step 1

Cut out the pieces of the transfers according to your preference. Just like rice paper for decoupage, these transfers are thin and easy to trim. Use sharp scissors to trim the pattern you love and save the rest for later. Don’t peel the backing sheet or wax paper from the transfer before you apply.

• Step 2

Prepare the surface for transfer application. Clear the surface with no speck of dust and dirt. Check the placement of the transfer before you peel the backing paper. Once applied transfers are hard to remove. So, always double-check before final placement.

• Step 3

Once the backing sheet is peeled, there is no turning around. Don’t touch the back of the transfer, as it is quite sticky and can stick to the skin. Gently place the transfer on the surface without your fingers touching underneath.

• Step 4

Delicately place down the transfer on the surface while pulling the wax paper underneath. If you see bubbles forming while applying the transfer, smooth it out. Use your fingers or burnishing tool to remove the bubbles.

• Step 5

Use multiple patterns from Dragonfly Craft to accentuate your furniture. Align all the pieces together and repeat the process of application. Use your fingers to rub over the transfer and apply it seamlessly.

• Step 6

After application and design completion, seal your masterpiece. Furniture sealer or wax is excellent to get the job done. Don’t use oil-based sealants, as they may destroy the transfer. Also, soften the edges of the transfer before applying sealant.
