Rick and I got the Thoughts & Prayers tree, and the Henry David Thoreau quote on the wall of our living room! It looks great! It wasn't easy, though. The tree comes in 6 pieces. After talking to my upline, I learned the way I should have done it, and not how I did do it! So, I want to share with you the easiest way to apply your Definitely Decorative products.
First, use your applicator tool (I actually used my Wake County library card) to burnish the Definitely Decorative sheet on the grid paper side. This will make sure the image sticks to the transfer sheet. My directions did NOT say to do that! What I ended up having to do was manually transfer each limb and leaf as I pulled off the grid paper. It would have been much easier to burnish the whole thing first, then peel off the paper!
Next, lay your image on the surface you're transferring it to with the transfer paper out. It's very sticky, so make sure you've got it where you want it, and smooth carefully from one side to the other. I marked spots on the wall lightly with a pencil first, and made sure it would be level before trying to stick the image to the wall. Then, I rubbed the image with my library card, and carefully peeled off the transfer sheet. That part was easy!
Now, we have new decor on our wall that we did ourselves! It's vinyl, and won't come off until we pull it off. You can wipe it with a cloth if you need to, and it will still stay on! If you do peel the image off, it isn't really reusable, because it will stretch and be difficult to reapply.
