1950s Christmas Kitsch Waterslide Transfers 4 Sheet Set Retro Deer Ornament Furniture Decals

Printed Waterslide Transfer Set - 4 Sheets

A full four-sheet set of 1950s Christmas kitsch - nearly 70 designs - the big-eyed, rosy-cheeked holiday style of vintage candy tins and figurines, laid out so you can decorate a whole piece: statement ornaments, characters, tiny accents, garland borders and matching corners.

Flocked, ceramic and glittered deer, Santa, snowman, reindeer and angel ornament faces, two little carolers, an elf hanging an ornament, a painted Santa-and-sleigh ornament, a bubble light, a glass mushroom and pear, gumdrops, peppermints and gingerbread - in soft faded 1950s colors.

What's On the Four Sheets

• Statement ornaments and ornament faces - for a drawer front or a lid
• Five kitsch deer and four little characters
• Hanging ornament drops on ribbon - Santa, snowman, striped icicle, star
• Garland borders - a candy garland, a bunting of ornament faces, starburst tinsel, a hanging ornament row and a snowy bough - for drawer edges, shelf fronts and tray rims
• TWO CORNER SETS - light bulbs and peppermint, each as all four corners (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right) to frame a drawer front
• Little fillers - gumdrops, a Santa boot, a mitten, mistletoe, jingle bells, a bottle-brush tree, starbursts and more - to build your own arrangement

All reindeer here have brown noses, by design.

Printed on Both Sides - and That Is the Whole Point

The front of each sheet is your artwork in full color. The back is the same artwork again in gray. These go on COLOR SIDE DOWN, and clear film is nearly invisible once it lifts off its backing - so the gray image shows you exactly where each piece is sitting, and which way round it is, while you position it. It lifts away with the backing and is not part of the finished piece.

A Note on Surfaces

These are printed on clear film, so there is no white ink - every pale area lets the surface underneath show through. The glass highlights and snowy whites in this set look their best on WHITE or CREAM: chalk-painted furniture, an ivory tray, a white-washed sign, a pale tin or a cream gift box. On a mid-tone surface the pale areas pick up the color beneath them; on dark surfaces they will not read.

How to Use It

Cut each design out close to the edge. Wet your surface generously. Lay the piece color side down, using the gray image to line it up. Cover with a wet cloth, press it down, and wait two to three minutes. Burnish, peel the backing away slowly, and the image stays behind. Full printed instructions come with every order. Works on wood, painted furniture, glass, ceramic, metal, candles and more; glass and ceramic can be oven set for durability.

Shipping

Printed to order and shipped flat in a rigid mailer so it arrives uncreased.
