How to Apply the Whispering Willow Transfer:
Prepare Your Surface: Ensure the surface you're applying the transfer to is clean and dry. For best results, paint your surface with a chalk or mineral paint that complements your design before applying the transfer.
Position the Transfer: Lay the transfer sheet onto your project and position it where you'd like it to appear. Use the gridlines on the transfer backing to align the design precisely.
Burnish and Transfer: Once you're happy with the placement, use the special rubbing tool (included) to burnish the design. Apply firm, even pressure to ensure the transfer sticks to your surface.
Reveal the Design: Slowly peel back the backing paper to reveal the transferred design. If you need to touch up certain areas, you can re-burnish or gently press the transfer back onto the surface.
Finish with a Sealant: After the transfer is applied and fully adhered, consider sealing it with a clear topcoat or wax to protect your design.
