What fun we had this weekend finding decorations for Tysha's dorm room. She has been at Columbus for a couple of weeks and called to say she wanted me to come decorate her dorm and that her roommates had agreed. It is always fun to start with a fresh canvas and create.
I love the new Decor Elements and that you can use them in dorms and apartments to create that "home" feel without breaking the rules. And when she is checks out next spring we will just peal them off the wall.
Decor Elements are very easy to apply. You rub the back of element (grid side) up with applicator tool until the image sticks to the transfer sheet. Carefully pull of backing sheet (grid) making sure you don't let the transfer sheet stick to itself. If you have problems getting the backing sheet to release the image put it in the fridge to cool it down and it will transfer quicker. (we love Atlanta's hot weather???) Once you have the backing removed carefully place it on the wall where you want the image to be. Don't press on the image so ifyou need to adjust it a little you can pull it away from the wall and put it back up.
Now just use the applicator tool and rub the image on the wall. Starting at the center and rub from the top to the bottom, working outward.
Then carefully pull the transfer paper off the wall watching to make sure the image stays on the wall. If you missed rubbing a spot lay transfer sheet back on wall and rub it, then pull off. After the image has been transfered to the wall you can smooth the image with your hand.
The decor elements come in Chocolate Chip, White, some images in Kraft and coming this fall we will get colored images. They are also doing Holiday rubons and 2-step rub ons. I can't wait. These are so easy to use and make great gifts as well as a wonderful way to add a little extra to your walls.
If you want to host a party with your friends I will come and how you how to apply Decor elements as well as give you some ideas on how to use them.
Call and schedule something today .
The only funny part about all the work we did is Tysha is so busy with her music she leaves at 6am and gets back to the dorm around 10pm-11pm so she is mostly just sleeping there.
I must admit that I haven't been a big fan of the large Decor Elements... until now, that is. This looks great! What a lucky kid to have a Mom come decorate her dorm room! Good job!
