Let’s look at a few creative ways to use these Vintage-Inspired Clockface image printables! The DIY image transfers we will apply were printed on rice paper, freezer paper, and waterslide decal paper.
We will be upcycling a few discarded pieces and some thrifted home decor, but they can be applied to almost anything!

Materials & Tools for Today’s Projects
- Basic Inkjet Printer -I use an old HP Printer, but here is a similar model and the one I will most likely purchase next.
- Rice Paper
- Waterslide decals
- Freezer paper
- Scissors
- An item that you will be applying the transfer to
- Rubber Scraper –to smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles (I have seen others use plastic wrap with success, but use what is best for you)
- Clockface Image- I created these printables using the Pro Version on Canva.com and some French ads I found at Thegraphicsfairy.com. They are both wonderful resources for printable vintage images & graphics; both sites offer free and paid versions.

How do I Seal my DIY Transfers?
I use the spray sealer from Rustoleum to seal my waterslide decals (3x’s) before applying them to a surface. For my next set of projects, I will try a different spray sealer brand: Krylon Triple Sealer. I will also be trying out Mod Podge dishwasher-safe sealer, which came highly recommended by my creative viewers!
