Transfer Your Design
Put some transfer paper on top of the vinyl design and then place it onto one side of the wood slice ornament. Make sure that all edges are lined up properly before pressing down firmly onto all areas of the ornament with an iron or heat press machine set at medium heat for 10-15 seconds. Peel off the transfer paper carefully once cooled down and repeat this process for both sides if desired.

Decorate Your Wood Slice Ornament
