Instructions in 7 steps Your favourite picture as a decorative motif on your wooden tray. By using a transfer medium, you can easily affix printed pictures to the wooden background. And this is how it works:

Step 1

Paint in full covering the bottom of wooden tray with the white paint Chalky Finish, the side parts with the blackberry paint Chalky Finish and the handle cutouts with the salmon pink paint Chalky Finish. Let them dry.

Step 2

Print out a picture and different words or writings of your choice and cut them out. Hint: print the writings always back-to-front!

Step 3

Place the prints on the white painted surface of the tray and mark the sections with a pencil. The painted surfaces should be dried out, clean, dust and grease free.

Step 4

Apply transfer-medium generously onto the bottom surface of the tray and the frontside of the laser printouts. Place the pictures and writings only with the frontside downwards on the surfaces marked with pencil and paint them carefully and evenly. Remove the excess of the medium with a cloth.

Step 5

After 8 hours drying time, you can moisten the paper with a sponge and gently rub off the paper layer with your fingers or the sponge for painting.

Hint: It is advisable to work in stages. Between the rubbing processes, allow the whole thing to dry repeatedly and repeat the process until the paper layer is gone.

Step 6

Let it dry.

Step 7

Mix afterwards a little bit of the white paint Chalky Finish with the transparent cream wax (1:1) and wipe this mixture using the sponge for painting over the upper edge of the tray. When all this has dried out, you can seal the entire tray with the transparent cream wax.
