Once you have removed all of the unwanted pieces from your design, it’s time to apply transfer tape over top of it. Transfer tape helps keep all of the pieces of your design together when transferring them onto whatever surface you are using.
Now that you have applied transfer tape over top of your sticker design, carefully peel away the backing paper from it and place it onto whatever surface you are using for application. Once placed firmly onto surface, slowly peel away transfer tape.
