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 over 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) prior to applying them to a surface. I will be trying a different brand of spray sealer for my next set of projects Krylon Triple Sealer. Along with trying out Mod Podge dishwasher safe sealer that came highly recommended by my creative viewers!
