MAGIC Decal Transfer Tutorial with Free Printables! Some of you may remember, a little while back I posted a tutorial for DIY waterslide decals. Among other things, I mentioned how awesome they are for creating custom embellishments without the need for any fancy-pants equipment. Yep, waterslide decal paper is a truly fab product, though as great as it is, there is one drawback – although it’s somewhat tough it’s not especially durable. So, whilst it’s perfect for ornamental purposes, it’s not ideal for more practical applications…until now that is! Magic decal coating paper is a product designed to be used in conjunction with standard decal paper to make the finished transfers super durable – yes, even dishwasher resistant! If you’re already familiar with magic decal coating paper then please excuse my tardy excitement, though for everyone else who is just getting to the party now too, feel free to start throwing the streamers!

It seems like many Do-It-Yourselfers want to come up with their own unique Save the Date announcements and I was no exception. As I wrote about here , I decided to use handmade bunting as the “theme” for mine. Here’s the finished product (minus our full names and actual wedding website). Below is a tutorial for how these were created. The first step was to create the bunting. I enjoy soldering and had all of the supplies so I went with glass, but it could certainly be created with nice fabrics, lace, or even paper. I knew I wanted 15 pieces, one blank one on each end and between the words and then enough pieces to include SAVE THE DATE – one letter per glass piece.

(Another option could be to include your names or your wedding date on the bunting instead of “Save the Date”) Once the bunting was soldered and strung together with ribbon (I used two pieces of ribbon since the glass is pretty heavy), it was time to decide how I wanted it incorporated into the photo. The next step: assembly!
