Birds can be used as they are or repeated to create a whole flock. They look incredibly pleasant sitting on the included wire-element and are great for adding an accent color to match your space. Mix things up with any of your favorite Transfers by adding these classy and sassy bird silhouettes. Put a bird on it, making every day a happy bird-day.
Two different inspirational sentiments feature a mix of hand-lettering and a block-style font. Use them on a variety of surfaces throughout your home to create a whole set to display in a tiered tray, on a vignette, or to give as a gift set. Elements and sentiments can be mixed and matched to fill large or small surfaces.
This month’s Club Couture subscription includes Chalkology Paste Singles in Couture Teal, Peachy Keen, and Shimmer Silver. Recreate this look on a Couture Gallery™ Aiden Style White Frame (black, 9” x 12”, item S183127). The look as shown will use only two of your three paste colors, meaning you can save the third for a whole other project!
These are just a few of our ideas. We can’t wait to see what you’ll create; we’re certain your designs are going to be so fly.

1. Remove your Transfer from its packaging.
2. Cut along the Transfer’s provided cut lines to separate the elements. Use a marker to label each element’s Backer Sheet to make cleanup easier when matching it to its coordinating Transfer element.
3. Carefully peel off the Transfer Backer Sheet of the element you’re using first.
4. “Fuzz” the Transfer element by gently pressing onto a Fuzzing Cloth and carefully pulling it upward to collect a bit of lint (this helps to more easily remove the Transfer from the surface after you’ve applied the paste). You may repeat this a few times if your Transfer seems extra sticky.
5. Centering left to right, position the sentiment near the center top of the surface. Smooth out the element to adhere, ensuring there are no bubbles or wrinkles.
6. Centering left to right, position the wire/line element approximately 21⁄4" inches below the sentiment, leaving sufficient space for the birds to sit on the wire line. Smooth out the element to adhere, ensuring there are no bubbles or wrinkles.
7. Knead each Chalkology Paste Single, cut or tear open the top, and squeeze the desired amount onto a Color Tray, using a new tray for each color.
8. Use a generous amount of paste on your squeegee and smooth it over the Transfer elements (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”).
9. Once the screen portions of the design are completely covered, squeegee the excess paste off as evenly as possible and scrape it back into the tray. The more excess paste you remove, the better the result will be.
10. Before the paste dries, slowly peel back the Transfer. To prevent any stretching in the Transfer, peel from the center instead of peeling diagonally. Immediately clean the Transfer with cool water (do not let it soak).
11. Dry the Transfer flat with the sticky side up.
12. Repeat steps 8–10 for the wire line element.
13. Once the paste has dried, repeat steps 3–5 and 8–10 for the bird accents.
14. Once all Transfer elements are washed and dried, reapply the coordinating Backer Sheet to each and store flat.
15. Relish your creation!
Our basic instructions go like this: choose a surface and Transfer, add some paste or ink, and start creating. With the Best Basics Chalk It Up Kit, you’ll have what you need to carry out those instructions and you’ll be well on your way to artistry!
This kit includes two of our favorite surfaces: Board & Base (perfect for A-sized Transfers) and a Sylvie White Frame (perfect for B-sized Transfers). Both surfaces are reusable with Chalkology Paste, and can be used in either landscape or portrait orientation. Plus, that Board & Base is reversible so you can have two projects to display all at once!
