Materials required when applying the stickers

1 spirit level to align your sticker (vertical or horizontal)
1 roll of adhesive tape for orientation and positioning and to simulate the placement of your sticker temporarily
1 cutter to lift the edge of the sticker without damaging it
1 pair of scissors to cut apart the different elements of your sticker if you would like to spread them apart during application
1 ruler or metre stick to see the proportions of your sticker in order to balance it or rearrange it on your surface
1 sponge, slightly dampened with a drop of dishwashing liquid
1 atomiser to help with positioning by sliding the sticker on substrates such as windows, mirrors or metal.
1 soft cloth to smooth the sticker and force out any little air bubbles
1 needle or pin to pierce and empty the air bubbles

Precautions prior to application

For optimal results, it is important to check the age and quality of your paint.
Your substrate or surface should be clean, dry, in good condition, smooth and free of dust or residues. It should also be far enough away from intense heat.

We recommend applying the stickers on satin or lacquer paints.
Be sure to clean and dry glass surfaces thoroughly before affixing your stickers to them.

If possible, let your sticker lie flat for one day prior to application in order to allow it to smoothen out well. Use a squeegee or a credit card to facilitate its adhesion to the transfer medium.

Above all, be sure to remember to step back and reflect during the temporary positioning of your stickers in order to ensure a perfectly straight application. The pleasure you will experience from the success and appreciation of your new decoration requires a bit of patience and care during application.

Your wall decorations are designed to be exhibited under ambient conditions where temperatures range from 5 to 35°C.
They are made with a matt vinyl substrate and will last for about 5 years indoors and 3 years outdoors.

How to apply your decoration

Clean the support on which you wish to place your decoration, position it as desired and mark the location invisibly (transparent adhesive tape) or in a way that can be erased.

Press hard on the sticker using a squeegee or a credit card to facilitate its adherence to the transfer medium.

Remove the protective white paper slowly (especially on the uppermost part of large stickers) and ensure that all of the details of the sticker adhere perfectly to the transfer paper designed to facilitate application (transparent adhesive film).
Do not hesitate to press hard again and to use the squeegee to smooth out firmly any parts that do not detach from the protective white paper.

Place your sticker with the transfer on your marks (pencil, adhesive tape) and press it against the wall.

Smooth the entire area out firmly with a cloth or the squeegee, from the centre toward the outer edges, in order to force out any tiny air bubbles.

Smooth the entire surface of the decoration thoroughly and allow the adhesive to set for about 15 minutes.

Carefully detach the transfer in a linear fashion along the width of the sticker and slowly slide the transfer off by folding it back on itself, well flattened and in gentle contact with the wall. If any part of the sticker does not adhere to the wall and comes off with the transfer, use the squeegee again on the uncooperative area.

8- Use a needle or a pin to puncture and empty any little air bubbles. Use a clean cloth to press one last time over the entire sticker to complete the application and appreciate your decoration.

Caution: These adhesive decorations are not toys and should be kept out of reach of children under 3 years of age.
