Meet Petits Ornements, a beautiful and sophisticated gilded transfer. These classical elements are inspired by vintage European ornamentation, filled with intricate details that will look scrumptious adorning any of your thrifted decor projects!
The delicate frames in their varied textures and aesthetics are perfect for adding that just-right finishing touch, whether you’re decorating a journal or thrift-flipping a keepsake box. Consider how lovely these would be on vintage glass bottles, as custom furniture accents, or even to add a little sparkle to unique, handmade gifts. This is one to keep in your repertoire.

If you are familiar with traditional IOD Transfers, they apply similarly but may take a bit more patience in areas of fine detail. Take your time, and don’t press any harder than you usually would, as this can hinder the release rather than help.
IOD Transfers are pressure sensitive images that rub on to various surfaces including but not limited to furniture, small decor and crafts. When we design our transfers, it's increasingly important to us to approach them with sustainable, classic designs so that you know your hard work and artistry will be appreciated for years to come.
With a little instruction, they are easy to use and add instant beauty to your projects.
Keep your transfer with its backing sheet until you are ready to apply. Keep free of dust or debris, which will interfere with adhesion. Do not allow the adhesive side of transfer to touch anything prior to application. When handling the transfer, avoid letting the adhesive side touch itself (don’t do in a windy environment). Do not store
transfer in extreme temperatures or humid conditions, which can affect adhesion
Start with a clean, dry, matte surface. If painted, make sure it’s well cured, and if you have sanded the paint make certain there is no residual dust. All of these things will interfere with adhesion. For best adhesion, seal your project surface with a high quality, water-based
polyurethane sealer in matte before applying a transfer.
Carefully remove the transfer from its white backing. Slowly and carefully lower the transfer onto your intended surface, making sure that it does not touch until the placement is correct. Use small pieces of low tack tape to hold it in place.
Using the provided tool, or one of your choice, start at one end of the transfer and rub firmly to adhere the image to the surface. Do this until the entire image is transferred. You are welcome for the free arm workout as well. If any parts aren’t transferred when you lift, simply lay it back down and rub more on that portion. After it is transferred, with a clean dry hand, smooth down any bits that aren’t flatly adhered.
We recommend sealing with a water based (or not harsh
solvent based) sealer (waxes created for chalk type paints also work well if they don’t contain harsh solvents).
