Application tips for Wall Vinyl Stickers - More Options

Here are some more options to keep in mind as you are applying Wall Vinyl Stickers from Wall Decor Plus More.  Our Wall Stickers come in  Large Circles (most popular), Large Rounded Squares, Hearts, Stars, Funky Circles, and Funky Rounded Squares.  The ones that can be most problematic are the large stickers in the circles and rounded squares.

A customer noted that she used a Bone Folder .  Be sure to choose one that has a straight side.

You could use this on the back, sticky part after you remove the backing.  And/or you can use it to smooth/rub the sticker firmly on the wall.

You want to be sure, once the backing is off, that the sticker doesn't fold and stick together.  And secondly, do NOT stretch and tug the sticker.  The wall vinyl sticker is easily stretched, will lose its shape and cause bubbles or wrinkles.

Another option for application: painter's tape.  This method would be ideal for the rounded squares.  Be sure to use painter's tape that is less tacky allowing for easier removal.  Take a long piece of tape and adhere to your wall sticker shape - all the way across from top to bottom - while the backing is still on and lying on a flat smooth surface.  Next, tape the shape to the wall.  While holding the piece of tape straight, remove the backing.  The tape will keep the shape straight and eliminate a chance of stretching the wall vinyl.  Once the wall sticker shape is firmly adhered to the wall, peel the tape off.  Peel gently so that you do not remove the shape from the wall.
