Follow these instructions to complete this project:
1. Remove your Transfer from its packaging and carefully peel off the Transfer Backer Sheet.
2. “Fuzz” the Transfer by gently pressing onto a Fuzzing Cloth and carefully pulling it upward. This will make the Transfer easier to remove from the surface after you’ve applied the paste.
3. Center the Transfer on the surface, and smooth it out to ensure it has properly adhered and that there are no air bubbles or wrinkles.
4. Knead your Chalkology Paste Singles. Cut open the corner of each packet and squeeze the desired amount of paste onto a Color Tray, using a new tray for each color.
5. Smooth a generous amount of Chalkology Paste over the Transfer using a squeegee or Multi-Tool (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”). As you are working through each detail and color, 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.
6. For best results, use the chalk-and-pull method: Once you have finished chalking the top section of the design, peel back the Transfer just past the chalked portion and let the paste dry. This will allow you to work in smaller sections without having the paste dry in the screen, making the Transfer difficult to remove. To prevent any stretching in the Transfer, peel from the center or from both corners, instead of peeling diagonally.
7. Once that section is dry, lay the Transfer back down and smooth out the unchalked section of the Transfer. Ensure that the next section is fully adhered, and repeat these steps for the remainder of the Transfer.
8. Slowly peel back the Transfer. Immediately clean the Transfer with cool water and a Board Eraser. Do not leave the Transfer in water or let it soak.
9. Dry the Transfer flat with the sticky side up.
10. Once the Transfer has been washed and dried, reapply the Transfer Backer Sheet and store it flat.
11. Relish your creation and embrace the beauty of homemade projects!

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!
