The Material

The wall decals are made from premium quality, matte finish, adhesive vinyl. This material gives the designs the impression that they have been painted directly onto your wall, while being 100% removable and safe for your interior.

Wall decals can be applied on smooth or textured surfaces. Make sure your surface is clean and dry.

Applying a Decal

Adding a decal to your walls can be quite a task especially if you have a large decal or one with lots of detail. I’m going to walk you through our process of hanging a 25”x25” bubble clock! You can also view the demo video for more instillation instructions.

First you need to lay it on a hard, flat surface and rub firmly over the wall decal. This will strengthen the bond between the vinyl decal and the transfer tape (this way the vinyl decal won’t stay on the white backing when you remove it.)

Then you peel off the white backing, making sure the vinyl decal sticks properly to the transfer tape. (This step can be tricky)

Place the decal on your wall. Start at the top edge and firmly smooth the tape all the way down, avoiding bubbling and wrinkles.

Before you pull off the last transfer tape backing, it’s a good idea to rub over the entire decal again to remove any air bubbles.

Then you slowly peel off the transfer tape starting at the top corner. If part of the wall decal sticks to the tape, simply roll the tape back, press down firmly & continue peeling.

Remove any air bubbles by rubbing over the decal with a clean cloth (you can also poke bubbles with a fine needle and then smooth it out). On textured surfaces be sure to rub over the wall decal very firmly! This will ensure a proper bond between the wall decal and the surface, and will prevent it from peeling off over time.

As you can see from the picture above, even though we placed our clock mechanism in the pre-marked center, it was NOT in the center.

The actual screw to hold the clock mechanism should have been just a little bit higher. It was a quick and easy fix though.

The actual clock hands are very easily bent so be sure you keep them away from busy little hands. (I know from experience). Also I would be careful with the clock mechanism itself. The first one I received wasn’t working properly and wouldn’t keep time. It may have had something to do with the way it was shipped. Lots of bumping around could have damaged it.
