Notes

    1. Separate the transfer designs using sharp scissors
    2. Lay out the designs in a way that looks good to you. Hold the pieces in place with painter's tape.
    3. Carefully remove the backing sheet when you are ready to apply the transfer to the surface.
    4. Lay the design on the surface and do not pick it up! Use the burnishing tool to apply the transfer design onto the surface.
    5. Use the clear plastic sheet to rub over the design to ensure it is completely adhered to the surface.
    6. Seal the transfer with a clear water-based sealer to protect the transfer design.
