IOD Decor Transfer Papillon – metallic accents in gold & silver

The IOD Decor Transfer Papillon combines historical illustrations with an elegant metallic finish in gold and silver. The motifs are based on prints, labels, typography and decorative elements from the 19th century and the metallic sheen gives them a special depth and presence.

Birdcages, ornaments and graphic details can be used both as a central highlight and as subtle accents. Papillon is particularly effective in combination with floral transfers or on dark, matt backgrounds, where gold and silver are elegantly accentuated.

Papillon is suitable for furniture, books, trays, works of art and decorative objects and adds a luxurious yet tasteful touch to projects.

Product dimensions: 8 pages, each approx. 20.3 × 30.5 cm

IOD Decor Transfers – decorative scratch-off transfers for furniture upcycling & creative surfaces

IOD Decor Transfers are high-quality scratch-off transfers for enhancing furniture, home accessories and creative projects. They are neither classic stickers nor decoupage foils, but pressure-sensitive motifs that are permanently transferred to the surface by gentle rubbing. The result looks like hand-painted and blends harmoniously into the surface – with an immediate effect and high design quality.

The transfers are deliberately designed to be fine and detailed and therefore require some attention during application. However, with the right preparation and a calm approach, they are very easy to apply and reward you with a professional, long-lasting finish. The motifs are particularly impressive on dark, rich or bold colors and create stylish accents.

A clean, dry and matt surface is crucial for optimum adhesion. Chalk and mineral paints should be completely dry and – depending on porosity – protected in advance with a thin layer of a water-based universal sealer. Wax is not suitable before applying a transfer, as it impairs adhesion. The surface must also be completely dust-free after sanding, as even fine residues can affect the result.

The transfers should remain on the protective film until use to protect them from dust and soiling. During placement, the motif is carefully removed from the backing and slowly lowered to the desired position. Exact alignment before the first contact is important, as the motifs can only be corrected to a limited extent after they have been applied. Small pieces of weakly adhesive tape can help to hold the transfer in place during positioning.

The transfer is carried out by rubbing evenly on the transparent film, ideally starting at one edge and working section by section. If a part has not yet transferred completely, the film can be carefully put back and rubbed again. After complete transfer, the motif is polished with a clean, dry cloth so that it lies smoothly and the edges blend in visually with the surface. Optionally, this step can also be supported with fine sanding fleece or a very fine sanding block.

IOD Decor Transfers are suitable for furniture, small decorative objects, walls and creative DIY projects. The motifs are timeless and deliberately classic in design so that they not only follow current trends, but also last in the long term. After application, a final seal with a water-based protective product is recommended to increase durability and protect the work permanently.

With IOD Decor Transfers, surfaces can be designed quickly and effectively – ideal for anyone who wants to add lasting value to furniture, create individual accents and give their projects a high-quality, handcrafted character.
