How to Use Floral Transfers and Stencils on an old Window or Cabinet Door

DIY Home Decor Ideas Using Transfers and Stencils with this tutorial

Instructions

  • Remove the knob on your window with a screwdriver from the back. Clean the glass with glass cleaner. You can also paint the back of your window to make it all pop! I painted mine Fusion's Bayberry.
  • Pick which floral transfers you’d like to use on your window and cut them out with scissors. Pull the backing off and don’t let it come in contact with itself. Place on the glass and cut off any extra to fit.
  • Use a transfer tool and press it out to adhere to the glass completely. Pull off the sticky top and push down any transfers that didn’t release and adhere to the glass. Push out any air bubbles.
  • Once you’ve added your floral transfers, if you want to add any extra transfers to the piece, just cut out from your paper and repeat the same process to adhere the transfer to the glass. Be careful not to scratch any previous transfers.
  • Place the stencil onto the glass where you would like it. Use the dauber to dab your paint into the words. Remove the stencil and wipe off any extra paint. Use the blow dryer or heat gun to dry.
  • Place the stencil back onto the glass where you previously painted and offset it just a little. Use a white paint to go over the letters and make them pop.
