BELLES & WHISTLES TIPS & TECHNIQUES
Belles & Whistles is a sister company of Dixie Belle Paint.
Transfers
The Belles and Whistles Transfers are easy to apply and add an artistic touch to your furniture.
Once you are ready to apply the transfer gently pull back the clear release sheet to separate the transfer from its protective paper. Gently unroll your transfer.
Decide where you would like to place it before removing the protective backing paper.
Tape your transfer down to prevent it from moving while you apply it.
You can gently lift the clear release sheet to check that it has adhered completely.
Working from the outside edge inward, apply pressure to release the transfer.
-
Transfers are sensitive to pressure and release when you rub them.
-
Transfers can be layered, distressed or sealed.
Rice Decoupage Paper
Decide where you would like to place your Premium Rice Decoupage Paper. Cut the border off of your decoupage paper.
Apply Clear Coat on the area where you want to place the decoupage paper. Place the decoupage paper on top of the Clear Coat.
Apply another layer of Clear Coat on top of the Premium Rice Decoupage paper.
Once paper is activated with Clear Coat you can move it around gently but take care not to wrinkle or tear the paper.
Allow the Clear Coat to dry completely before adding any other products.
