Proud Authorized Iron Orchid Designs Stockist!
Say hello to the Home Sweet Home Transfer, your new go-to for charming cookery decor and ornate handmade gifts. This one’s especially near and dear to us because it came straight from the Creative Tribe’s wish list!
Home Sweet Home is gushing with vintage goodness from the mischievous little “greedy boy” reaching for that roly poly pudding (yep, that’s a real vintage ad! 🤩) to the intricate Imperial Granum label. It’s essentially like rummaging through an early 1900s pantry in the best way possible.
Home Sweet Home is perfect for labeling ceramic canisters filled with sugar, rice, or coffee. These vintage advertisements would be so charming on vintage kitchen canisters, reloved cookbooks, or gift tins filled with homemade baked goods. 🥰
This one’s made for adding those fabulous, nostalgic touches to your kitchen or distinctive handmade gifts. Home Sweet Home is full of heart and totally fun to use. We can't wait to see the projects you create with this one! 💕
🌿 **What Are IOD Transfers?**
IOD Transfers are high-quality, pressure-sensitive designs that effortlessly transform furniture, small décor, crafts, and more. They’re designed with sustainability and timeless style in mind, ensuring that your creative projects become lasting treasures.
✨ **How to Apply IOD Transfers:** ✨
1. **Prepare Your Surface:**
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and matte.
- If painted, allow the paint to cure completely and remove any sanding dust.
- For best results, seal the surface with a high-quality, water-based matte polyurethane 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 exactly where you want it.
- Use low-tack tape to hold it in place if needed.
3. **Apply the Transfer:**
- Using the provided tool (or your favorite burnishing tool), start at one edge 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 for a seamless finish.
4. **Seal for Protection:**
- After application, seal with a water-based sealer or a gentle, non-harsh solvent-based sealer.
- Waxes designed for chalk-style paints can also be used, as long as they’re free from harsh solvents.
💡 **Pro Tips for Best Results:**
✔️ Keep the adhesive side clean and dust-free to ensure smooth adhesion.
✔️ Avoid letting the sticky side fold onto itself.
✔️ Store transfers in a cool, dry environment to preserve their quality.
✔️ Layer with IOD stamps and moulds for a custom, dimensional look.
With the **ome Sweet Home**, you’re not just adding florals—you’re bringing a piece of art history to life. Perfect for vintage lovers, botanical enthusiasts, and creatives who cherish timeless beauty. 🌿✨
