What Are H2O Decor Transfers?
So, if you worked with traditional rub on transfers or decoupage, you will notice the difference right away. H2O furniture transfers use water to release the design from the backing sheet, so you do not need to rub, burnish, or glue.
H2O Transfers are made from a thin, flexible layer that carries printed artwork in rich color and fine detail. Once activated, the design sits flat on your surface, giving the look of painted art without the hours of brushwork.
Each pack in our collection includes
- Two 8.5 inch by 11 inch sheets of your chosen design
- Artwork printed for clarity and depth
- Easy instructions for beginners and experienced crafters

Glassware, vases, jars, and mirrors take on a whole new personality with H2O Water Transfers. Because the designs are thin, they blend seamlessly with the surface, keeping the transparent or reflective quality of the glass intact.
