1. Remove your Transfer from its packaging.
2. Cut along the Transfer’s provided cut lines to separate the elements.
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).
5. Centering top to bottom, position the “&” part of the Transfer in the center of the board. Smooth out the element to adhere, ensuring there are no bubbles.
6. Knead each Chalkology Paste Single, open the top, and squeeze the desired amount onto a Color Tray, using a new tray for each color.
7. Use a generous amount of paste on your squeegee and smooth it over the Transfer (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”).
8. Once the screen portion of the design is 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.
9.. Before the paste dries, slowly peel back the Transfer. To prevent any stretching in the Transfer, peel from two corners instead of peeling diagonally. Immediately clean the Transfer with cool water (do not let it soak).
11. Once the chalked sections are dry, repeat steps 3–5 and 7–10 for the “you,” “me,” and the accent hearts. Let each layer of paste dry completely before adding additional paste layers.
12. Once all Transfer elements are washed and dried, reapply the Backer Sheet to each and store flat.
13. Relish your creation!
