You may notice some wrinkles and little air bubbles in your decal. This is normal. To smooth these out, just take a q-tip and gently smooth out the surface of your decal. The bubbles will go away after it settles.
Dip the decal in water for about ten seconds. Hold it on a part of the sheet that doesnt have the actual decal on it.

Thanks to their durable composition and weather-resistant design, vinyl decals can be applied nearly anywhere as bold, decorative flourish. And now that you know the basics of proper application, you can get started using decals throughout your home, for accents on molding, headboards, or cupboards or encompass a room with total design schemes. And considering that you can even cut your own designs from large sheets of vinyl, you’re only as limited as your imagination.
Although vinyl decals are often applied to vehicles, they are probably most prevalent and useful when it comes to home decor. This can include things like large, abstract designs intended to lend color and personality to a room, as well as smaller things like borders and intricate details. However, due to the way vinyl decals are made, proper application is absolutely essential when it comes to achieving the perfect effect.
First of all, it’s important to remember that vinyl decals can’t be treated like simple stickers. They tend to be much more involved and can sometimes be difficult to properly affix. But if you’re willing to put in some patience and precision, you can wind up with some really striking decor.
