First Tutorial Waterslide Decals Pink Chic Emblem no. 208

I used the clear Papilio Aqua-Slide-Paper in my ink-jet color printer to print Tattered Vintage Download no 208

After applying the aerosol fixative and letting it dry for one hour I cut out the two middle sized emblems to decorate my vintage coffee jar filled with lace notions.
Then I soaked the decals one at a time in a cereal bowl of warm water til the design started to separate from the backing paper.
I placed the entire decal on the jar lid to position it and carefully slid the backing from behind the decal.

I used a rubber squeegee to remove the bubbles (very gently).

Then I repeated the process for the front of the jar.
