- Do not handle stickers from the adhesive side.

- Place the stickers on the floor or a table, with the front rim on one side and the rear rim on the other. (To avoid mixing up the brushes...).
- Final preparation step before applying: strongly scrape the stickers, flat on a table or other smooth surface, to adhere them to the transfer sheet and detach them more easily.
Now, you are ready to position the stickers on the rim.
- Position the stickers beforehand with tape. (This will guide you on where to stick them in relation to the others).
- Manipulate the stickers one by one. Remove the backing from a sticker and apply it to the desired location.
