Supplies:

• Transfer tool
• Sealer
• Painters tape

Steps To Apply Transfer:

1. Lay transfer on the area you wish to transfer to. 
2. Use your scraper tool to go over your sheets to make sure it adheres to the area you are placing them. 
3. Once you peel off the backing pull the wax sheet off and then rub your finger over the wording. This helps smooth out any bubbles that may have developed when applying. 
4. If your transfer has multiple pieces just be sure you line them up correctly. Take your time and rub over the lettering once you have it in place. 
5. The best way to get it on is using a flat edge tool. 
6. If you have any spots that may have pulled off I just use a sharpie of that color and fill in the imperfection
7. Go back over all the lettering with your fingers one final time to smooth out and flatten the words
