Gilded Memories (21.59 x 27.94cm) - Redesign H2O Transfers®

Applying Redesign H2O transfers is truly child's play. We'll explain how it works below.

You can use these transfers on wood, canvas, clay, glass, porcelain, paper, concrete, plastic, and many more surfaces! Always test your surface's reaction to water before attempting to apply the H2O transfer.

The designs are rich and vibrant, but they stand out most clearly against light backgrounds. For a more muted effect, choose a darker paint color.

STEP 1

The H2O transfers are applied with water. Because water will reactivate the Chalk Paint, you must first protect your painted surface with Annie Sloan Lacquer. Make sure the lacquer is completely dry before proceeding to the next step. Do not use clear wax as a protection, as the H2O transfers will not adhere to it!

STEP 2

Moisten the surface you want to apply the transfer to. Use a fine mist sprayer , paintbrush, sponge, wet paper towel, etc. to apply the water. Make sure you spread the water evenly and that the surface feels damp, but not soaked.

STEP 3

Remove the protective film from the transfer and place it on your project, colored side down and gray side up. The gray markings will help you place the transfer more easily.

STEP 4

Now moisten the top of the transfer, without soaking it. Use a plastic or rubber spatula and gently wipe the paper to transfer the image. Let the paper sit on the surface for at least 6 minutes, while gently rubbing. Then carefully peel the paper away. If any parts of the image haven't transferred properly, you can replace the paper and rub again with a spatula until you achieve the desired result.

STEP 5

H2O Transfers® have a glossy finish. Use a matte lacquer for a matte look. You can also finish with clear wax.

And you're done...!
