🌿 **What Are IOD Transfers?**
IOD Transfers are high-quality, pressure-sensitive designs that can be easily applied to a variety of surfaces—furniture, small décor, crafts, and more. They offer a sustainable, timeless way to elevate your projects, ensuring your creativity results in pieces that will be cherished for years to come.
✨ **How to Apply IOD Transfers:** ✨
1. **Prepare Your Surface:**
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and matte.
- If painted, allow the paint to fully cure.
- Lightly sand any rough areas and wipe away dust.
- 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 one of your choice), rub firmly from one end to the other to adhere the design.
- If any areas don’t stick, lay the transfer back down and burnish again until fully applied.
- Smooth down any loose edges for a clean finish.
4. **Seal for Durability:**
- 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—avoid dust or debris for smooth adhesion.
✔️ Don’t let the sticky side fold onto itself.
✔️ Store transfers in a cool, dry place to maintain their quality.
✔️ Use IOD moulds and stamps to layer textures and create custom, dimensional designs.
With **Wilde Bloemen**, you’ll bring the wild, whimsical charm of nature into your home. Perfect for DIY enthusiasts, vintage lovers, and anyone looking to add a fresh, botanical touch to their creative projects. 🌿✨
