Sunshine Decor-Weave

Hokus Pokus new “Décor-Weave” designs will inspire you to upcycle your old, previously loved furniture from drab to fab!

Hokus Pokus Décor-Weave designs are highly detailed expressions of art which can be applied to natural wood, painted furniture or a surface of your choice.

Requirements for applying a Hokus Pokus Décor-Weave:

1.) a piece of furniture or project which has been completed to a smooth finish, painted or sanded natural wood
2.) a Décor-weave Design;
3.) paint brush
4.) brayer
5.) water-based sealer
6.) 400 grit sand paper;
7.) clean water
8.) clean cloth
9.) Iron

Optional extra is a glass of wine

With the iron on a COOL, DRY (NOT STEAM) setting, gently iron the back of your Décor-Weave design to remove initial fold lines.

The prepared furniture piece: wipe down with a wet cloth to remove all the dust.

It is vitally important to remove all excess dust before applying any Hokus Pokus Décor-Weave to your project.

Sharp pieces of wood splinters or chipped paint, no matter how small, can spoil the surface and texture of your Décor-Weave project.

All painted surfaces must be 100% dry to avoid the Hokus Pokus Décor-Weave from lifting or creating air bubbles.

Always plan beforehand where you are going to place your Hokus Pokus Décor-Weave and cut to size, if needed.

Applying the Décor-weave: Apply a base coat of a good quality polyurethane water-based sealer, while still wet place the Hokus Pokus Décor-Weave in the desired place, ensure all air bubbles are removed by rolling with a brayer.

Wait about 30 min then apply a 1^st coat of sealer over the Hokus Pokus

Décor-Weave, wait until 100% dry then apply a 2^nd coat and 3^rd coat, ensure the surface is completely dry as per manufacturer’s instructions – don’t rush this phase. Once 100% dried and cured, gently sand the whole design with 400 grit sandpaper to a smooth texture. Clean with a wet cloth.

The last very important step is to sit back and enjoy your masterpiece!
