Applying your Blooming Words {Quick Version}:

 

1.  Rub over back of the bundle.

2.  Peel away backing paper.

3.  Place on wall and secure.

4.  Rub vinyl onto wall.

5.  Peel away transfer tape.

 

 

 

 

Applying your Blooming Words {Detailed Version #1}:

 

1.  Lay the bundle face down and with your application tool or credit card rub over the entire bundle.  This process 'pushes' the surface of the vinyl into the tacky side of the transfer tape.  The goal is to release the vinyl from the backing paper.  Don't be afraid to apply some pressure during this process.  {Note:  This may be opposite from what you may have done in the past.  If you were to leave the bundle face up and rub over the top of the transfer tape, you're actually 'pushing' the vinyl to the backing paper and away from the transfer tape.}

 

2.  With the bundle still face down start at the top left hand corner and peel the backing paper away from the vinyl and transfer tape.  The vinyl should remain 'stuck' to the transfer tape as you lift off the backing paper.  If you peel away backing paper and some vinyl tries to come with it, simply lay the backing paper back down and rub that area a little harder.  Repeat this process until all of the backing paper is removed and discard.  {Note:  This again may be opposite from what you may have done in the past.  If you were to leave the bundle face up and peel the transfer tape away from the backing paper the result you'd most likely get is that only the transfer tape would come up and the vinyl would remain on the backing paper.}

 

3.  Now you're ready to place on the wall.  It's going to be very important that your artwork is level so either have a level handy or make a level line with a pencil before starting this process. 

 

4.  Once you have placed your artwork on the wall you may want to secure in place with blue painter's tape.  Using your application tool or credit card rub over the top of transfer tape.  This process should 'push' the vinyl to the wall.  {Tip & Trick} You can also use a wadded up hand towel to rub over the entire surface.  This can help push the vinyl into the texture on the wall.

 

5.  Starting at the top left hand corner, slowly peel the transfer tape away from the wall and vinyl.  {Tip & Trick}  If you peel the transfer tape back on itself it will create less pull on the vinyl.  If any vinyl tries to come up with the transfer tape, simply lay the transfer tape back down, rub over that area with more force and try again.  Once the transfer tape is removed, you can discard.  Another {Tip & Trick}...Peel back the transfer tape at a 45 degree angle with your left hand and with your right hand you can apply pressure with your application tool at the same angle.

 

6.  Take a towel and gently rub over the vinyl to make sure it has adhered properly.  You're done and ready to enjoy your new Blooming Words! 

 

 

 

 

Applying your Blooming Words {Detailed Version #2}:

 

This version varies in the fact that everything is done while the product is on the wall.  This version is usually best for larger applications (see image below) however this method works well for smaller projects as well.

 

1.  While the bundle is in tact, place on wall and tape across the top of the bundle with blue painter's tape creating a 'hinge'.  Make sure that your artwork is level.

 

2.  Using your tape 'hinge', fold the bundle up on the wall 180 degrees.  Now the backing paper will be facing you and the front of the bundle is facing the wall upside down. 

 

3.  With your application tool or credit card rub over the top of the backing paper.  This process again 'pushes' the vinyl to the transfer tape and away from the backing paper. 

 

4.  Peel off the backing paper.  If any vinyl tries to come with the backing paper, simply lay the backing paper down and rub harder over that area.  Repeat process until all backing paper is removed.  You can discard backing paper. 

 

5.  Now you can fold your bundle back down.  Rub over top of transfer tape 'pushing' the vinyl to the wall.

 

6.  Starting at the top left hand corner, slowly peel back the transfer tape until it is completely removed.

 

This method allows for larger artwork to be applied in multiple sections and still remain level.  All the application steps would remain the same except after creating your hinge, you would cut in between words up to the hinge - not the hinge itself.  Now you have smaller sections to work with and each section would follow the same application instructions as outlined above.
