Before You Stick: Read This!
✌️ 1. Wipe Your Walls
Skipping this step? Your decals might not stick! Use a clean, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Let the surface dry completely before applying your decals (minimum 2 hours to be safe).
✌️ 2. Check Your Walls
Decals won’t stick to:
- Unprimed, flaking, or textured walls
- Low VOC or Wash & Wear paints
✌️ 3. Install
Important: Do not remove the entire backing paper at once! This might cause the decal to fold and stick to itself.
- Start with the giraffe
- Peel back a small section of the backing paper from the left, aligning the giraffes neck to the corner of the wall.
- Stick the exposed part onto the wall and immediately smooth it down with your hand or a soft cloth.
- Continue peeling away more of the backing paper bit by bit, working up towards the giraffes face, pressing and smoothing as you go to prevent bubbles or creases.
- If you notice a bubble, gently push it toward the nearest edge with your hand, soft cloth, or squeegee. Or lift the area off the wall and re-stick.
- Repeat the process for the Tiger.
- Repeat this process with the smaller decals (leaves, birds, butterflies, flowers) to complete your scene.
- Once all pieces are in place, check that all edges are firmly pressed down. If any area needs adjusting, lift and reposition it before giving it a final smooth-down.
Your Safari Animal Decals should now look just like the reference image – a bold, playful scene that brings your child’s space to life!
