I love shopping for new holiday decor items, but sometimes storing all these new great items is a pain! All my totes almost (if not) already full and I'm pretty sure my husband doesn't want me to get anymore totes! So I decided to take an item I already have and use it. I have a Rae Dunn Christmas Canister that is blank on the back, so I decided to use this. This is perfect since it is pottery and has a shiny finish. Easy to remove when I want to change it out or put in away with the Christmas decor.
Come see me create a new XOXO Valentines Day Canister!
Step 1. 1st, I grabbed all my supplies - Hugs and Kisses XOXO Transfer, Chalk Paste in Candy Apple, Fuzzing Cloth, mini squeegee and my Rae Dunn Canister.
Step 2. Time to cut out the transfer that you want to use.
Step 3. Grab that Fuzzing Cloth and fuzz, fuzz, fuzz that transfer!
Step 4. Time to place the transfer on the Canister. They nice thing is these new transfers are more see-through so it is easy to place on the surface. Also, you can take the transfer off and re-apply if you don't like the placement.
Step 5. Grab the Candy Apple Chalk Paste and give it a stir. Then it's time to chalk! Take a small amount and rub it all over the transfer. The best part is that you can take the excess chalk and put it back into the container.
Step 6. Remove the transfer slowly and clean it right away. This helps from discoloration. Even if does get discolored, it doesn't harm it... it will still be sticky and work. I just like my transfer to still look pretty. Stir you chalk paste one more time an put the lid back on tight. I always soak my stir sticks and squeegees in warm soapy water.
Now it's time to enjoy my new Valentines XOXO Canister!
