DIY Decals - here at last! Yay! ***We love water-slide transfers ***
So many ways to create and use your own custom designs! 
We will be posting more information and how-to notes - meanwhile, if you're ready, here's the stuff.
Do check out the helpful links at the bottom of the page, and please let us know if there is any thing related to decals that we don't have up yet...we might have it behind the scene, ready to roll.

*This paper is not for inkjet printers, please note.   Silkscreen, doodle, or laserprint? Yes.
BASICS:
Image the decal paper. Allow it to dry well. Coat with covercoat, allow it to dry well. Then cut out the image, soak it briefly in warm water, and s l i d e  it off the backing paper onto any smooth surface, like glass, ceramic, wood...embellish furniture, walls, stationery. Images will show up best on a light background & the surface needs to be clean and smooth for best contact.

Laser print transfers! a sweet 

way to work with fired decals on ceramics or glass ~

Laser printer toner contains enough iron oxide to create a beautiful range of sepia to chocolate, depending on the amount of ink laid into the original. (Unlike Lazer-Tran paper, this is safer for printers...though your local copy center may not take your word for it. DIY/dl first time...)

Tiny Tip*For imaging warm glass, cover the transferred image with clear glass flux & fire as usual.

Decal Paper: 8.5" x 11"
5 packs, 10 packs, 20 pack

 Cover Coat SD740
