How to Use ViVi Stationery® Transfer Stickers

These transfer stickers are easy to use. Follow the steps below for the best results.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cut out the design and prepare your surface

Cut out the desired design and make sure the surface is clean and dry before application.

2. Rub over the front of the sticker

Gently rub over the front of the sticker, especially over fine lines and small details, so the design bonds well to the clear film.

3. Peel off the backing paper

Slowly peel away the backing paper. Start with the larger parts of the design before moving to smaller details.

If any part stays on the backing paper, lay the clear film back down, press that area, and continue peeling slowly.

4. Position the transfer sticker

Carefully place the transfer sticker onto the surface you want to decorate.

For smooth surfaces such as glass or plastic, start by attaching one small edge of the design first, then use the scraper to gently push the sticker across the surface. This helps reduce air bubbles.

5. Press the design onto the surface

Press over the design to ensure it fully contacts the surface.

For most designs, light pressure with your fingers is enough. For small details, fine letters, or delicate shapes, use the included small scraper to gently rub over those areas so they transfer cleanly.

Pay special attention to the outer edges of the design, as good edge contact helps the transfer release more smoothly.

6. Peel away the clear film

Slowly peel off the clear film to reveal the transferred design.

For best results, peel the film back at a sharp angle, almost folding it flat against the surface, rather than pulling upward. This keeps the pulling force parallel to the surface and helps prevent the design from lifting.

If any part does not transfer, place the film back down, press again, and continue peeling.

Tips for Best Results

Peel slowly.

Whether removing the backing paper or peeling off the clear film, work slowly and steadily. This helps reduce the chance of damaging the design or pulling up small details.

If one direction does not work well, try peeling from another direction.

Sometimes a different peeling angle or direction makes the transfer easier, especially for fine details.

Test first on unfamiliar materials.

Some materials (such as certain types of resin) may react differently. We recommend testing a small area first.

Not suitable for fabric or clothing.
