I do want to mention transfer paper really quick.
Transferring vinyl with contact paper.
Vinyl ease 12 inch x 100 feet roll of paper transfer tape with a medium to high tack layflat adhesive.
I wasted vinyl trying to use contact paper as transfer tape.
Just re apply water rub them away and allow to dry.
The only exception to this is when you are using glitter vinyl it needs a super sticky transfer paper.
Some of the transfer paper brands are entirely too sticky.
Regular transfer tape is too sticky to move a contact paper decoration.
You saved me tons of money.
Once you have the transfer tape on use a scraper tool or an old gift card to scrape over the design to make sure the transfer tape is adhering to the vinyl nice and tight.
I prefer to use clear contact paper to transfer my vinyl.
Works with a variety of vinyl.
Worked like a charm.
As you peel the vinyl should come off the backing with the transfer tape.
Then slowly start to peel up your transfer tape at any corner.

Thank you so much.
Applying the vinyl to the canvas.
Thank you so much for this.
After reading your post i took my contact paper and rubbed it all over a sweater first.
When the transfer has dried you will notice small patches of white paper fibers still clinging on to the ink in some spots.
When fully dry you simply place the adhesive side of the transfer directly onto the clean glass surface you wish to decorate.

However if i m going to use contact paper as my vinyl i make temporary stickers for my storm door for seasonal decoration then using contact paper as my transfer is a winner every time.
