How To Use A Plastic Business Card As A Squeegee

Need some tips on how to make your decal stick to the wall? Use the following method to help your decal stay on the wall!

1. Take a tape measure or level and make sure your decal is straight on the wall.

2. Using the hinge method - Take the backing off a small section of the decal; place the sticky part (transfer tape) on the wall; make sure it sticks; peel the rest of the backing off; smooth onto the wall.

3. Grab the plastic business card that came in the package with your decal.

4. Gently, but with a constant pressure, rub the card all over the decal. This will ensure that the lettering will stick to the wall and not come off with the transfer tape.

Be sure to rub the entire decal! Missing one spot, even a small one, can cause the decal to rip as you take the transfer tape off!

If you have any troubles at all , check out our YouTube channel to see more how-to videos!

Have a fabulous day!

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.

Here is a tutorial for applying your vinyl design to a floor tile.  You can order your tile kit from Wall Decor Plus More.  Please specify in the notes that you are using the vinyl design for a tile and we will include the markings to making the application more simple for you.  Look for a design that is square - a square design can be resized to fit your 12" x 12", 6" x 6", or 13" x 13" tile.  Tiles make GREAT gifts as they can be personalized for weddings, birthdays and Christmas gifts.
