Giclée is a French word meaning “to squirt or spray” and refers to the printing done by an ink-jet printer. Giclée prints are copies of an original illustration printed on a high quality art printer.

WALLPAPER 
 

Unlike common regular vinyl decals, Pop & Lolli chic fabric wall stickers are ultra easy to install and play with.  No instructions needed. No tools necessary. Just peel and stick.

Application is a simple 3-step process of peel, place, and then smooth it with your hand. It can be rearranged and easily removed numerous times. Freshly painted walls should be completely dry before applying the product. Pop & Lolli requires to wait at least 60 days after painting before you apply our fabric decals to the newly painted wall. Even though the paint will feel dry to the touch soon after it's been painted, it is still wet and will react with the eco-friendly, non-toxic water-based adhesive making the edges of the decals not stick properly. Drying time depends on the environment, the time of year, the number of layers of paint and the paint brand used.

For the very large and oversized stickers with some complicated shapes, expect to need a helping hand or two, place it on the wall and start from one end to gently smooth the sticker out as you work your way to the other end.

GENERAL TIPS FOR DECALS

After the decals are placed into position on the wall.  We may suggest to use a sturdy object, like a credit card, and firmly apply pressure on it smoothing back and forth over the entire decal to firmly press it in place. This will ensure no loose edges

Since our collections arrive on large oversized sheets of paper, it may be sometimes difficult to work with such a big sheet.  We suggest you cut each decal from the backing sheet whilst still on the backing paper.  For storing purposes later on, we may also suggest to write on the back of these backing cut-outs with a pencil, not a sharpie/marker, which character/decal need to be returned to it to make sure it fits properly on the backing during storage.

Larger decals, like the trees, we would recommend you do the step above. Then hold it in place right where it needs to be positioned on the wall WITH the backing paper still on.  Peel the backing paper (a small bit only) away from the decal at the top, and fold it over.  Place the small exposed sticky side of the decal on the wall and with the one hand gently pull the folded backing paper more and more away from the decal whilst at the same time smoothing down the decal and pressing firmly against the wall with the other hand.

If there happen to be a few small bubbles (trapped air) after you placed the decal on the wall. Do not fear!  No need to remove it and try again.  Simply use a sharp object, like a needle or pin tack and prick it gently to make a tiny hole.  Then simply smooth out with your thumb.  The hole will help the air escape and ensure you have a perfectly smooth decal.
 

APPLICATION TIPS

Trim the sheets' backing paper to the edges of the wallpaper and or cut to size and width required upon pre-measuring your wall. Make sure when you cut the wallpaper to reduce the width of sheet to match your wall, to keep in mind the seam to align with the sheet next to it to ensure a seamless match between sheets.

Hold the sheet in place right where it needs to be positioned on the wall WITH the backing paper still on, starting at the TOP of the wall. Peel the backing paper (a small bit only) away from the decal at the top, and fold it over. Ensure it aligns to the top of the wall and sides on the edges and place the small exposed sticky side of the wallpaper on the wall and with the one hand gently pull the folded backing paper more and more away from the decal whilst at the same time smoothing down the wallpaper and pressing firmly against the wall with the other hand.

If there happen to be a few small bubbles (trapped air) after you placed the wallpaper on the wall. Do not fear! No need to remove it and try again, unless the trapped air is a lot. Simply use a sharp object, like a needle or pin tack and prick it gently to make a tiny hole. Then simply smooth out with your thumb. The hole will help the air escape and ensure you have a perfectly smooth wallpaper.
 

SAVING THE WALLPAPER

When you’re ready to move or store it for future use, please remember to return it to its original wax-coated backing paper and safely store it in the protective tube it came with. Keeping the adhesive side free of debris and dust when rearranging, or returning it to the original backing paper it arrived on, will help extend the long life of the product.  

ABOUT SARAH JANE
 

Where do you live?
I currently live with my husband and 3 children in Utah. I am originally from North Potomac, Maryland… an East Coast girl at heart.

How did you get started?
I started my ETSY shop on October 4th, 2007. I opened with 40 prints to purchase. I worked out of a corner of our bedroom, with a handful of supplies and a computer and printer. We have since grown and have a studio of our own! Read here and here for more of my story.

Did you go to art school?
I didn’t go to art school, although I wanted to. I had studied art on and off through high school, and consider my time at Interlochen Arts Camp as a pivotal point in my life where I knew I always wanted to further my art. I had an equal love for Theater and Music, and chose to study Musical Dance Theater at BYU. I knew I wanted to have a family some day, and I wouldn’t be able to be on stage while mothering. So when the kids started coming, I decided to get back into my art for good.

How do you do it all?
I don’t. That’s the truth of it. Anyone who is raising children, running a business and freelancing is lacking in other areas. And if they aren’t lacking, it’s because they have help. What I am not showing you is my laundry that’s currently piling up, and the dishes in the sink. Not to mention the toys all over the floor. I have an incredibly supportive husband who literally bends over backwards to make this all happen. He is an amazing cook, and takes care of most of the meals. And of course, I have people taking care of the printing and shipping, and other management responsibilities. So no…I don’t do it all ;)
