Flowers by the Poets is a full-scale transfer sourced from antique botanical lithographs and paired with poetic text, those who delighted in our smaller Lover of Flowers transfer will be sure to love these similar designs in a large format. The collection brings together florals, birds, and typography drawn from historic sources.
Designed with furniture and larger décor pieces in mind, it’s well suited for statement applications and decorative panels, while still offering flexibility for smaller accents and detailed work.
🌸 **What Are IOD Transfers?**
IOD Transfers are high-quality, pressure-sensitive designs that can be effortlessly applied to a wide range of surfaces, including furniture, home décor, and craft projects. Crafted with sustainability and timeless style in mind, they’re perfect for turning everyday objects into cherished pieces of art.
✨ **How to Apply IOD Transfers:** ✨
1. **Prep Your Surface:**
- Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and matte.
- If painted, allow the paint to cure fully before application.
- Lightly sand any rough spots and remove dust to ensure smooth adhesion.
- For best results, seal the surface with a high-quality, water-based matte polyurethane sealer before applying the transfer.
2. **Position the Transfer:**
- Keep the backing sheet attached until you’re ready to apply.
- Carefully peel the backing and position the transfer where desired.
- Use low-tack tape to hold it in place if needed.
3. **Apply the Transfer:**
- Using the provided tool (or your preferred burnishing tool), start at one end and rub firmly to adhere the design.
- If any areas don’t stick, simply lay the transfer back down and burnish again until the image is fully transferred.
- Smooth down any loose edges to ensure a seamless finish.
4. **Seal for Long-Lasting Beauty:**
- After application, seal with a water-based or gentle, non-harsh solvent-based sealer.
- For chalk-style finishes, you can also use waxes, provided they’re free from harsh solvents.
💡 **Pro Tips for Best Results:**
✔️ Keep the adhesive side clean to avoid interference with adhesion.
✔️ Avoid letting the sticky side touch itself to prevent damage.
✔️ Store transfers in a cool, dry place to maintain quality.
✔️ For added depth, layer with IOD moulds and stamps for custom, dimensional designs.
