IOD Foil Transfer - Athenaeum
8" x 12" Pad - 8 Sheets
Athenæum is inspired by vintage book covers and interior pages, including The Bird by Jules Michelet and a Pride and Prejudice cover by Jane Austen. Rooted in the idea of an athenaeum—a place devoted to learning, culture, and the quiet exchange of ideas—this collection evokes the romance of old libraries, well-loved pages, and stories passed from hand to hand.
It brings together complete compositions, typography, florals, frames, and decorative elements drawn from antique book design. Spine elements are designed to pair with the Bookish Mould, making it easy to create detailed book stacks and literary accents. Frames, borders, and corners are thoughtfully nested throughout for versatility, making this set ideal for book-themed projects and library-inspired décor.
IOD Decor Transfers are designed in scale and motif to be appropriate for decor. Use them to add a unique touch to your furniture projects, wall art or accessories. Pressure sensitive, you apply them by rubbing them onto the surface. For best results of transfer, we recommend applying over Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint. Ensure a long lasting result by using Annie Sloan's Clear Wax for the protection and lustre.
IOD has made many of their new Decor Transfers “buildable”, by adding opacity, (so that they look good when they overlap) and making the designs themselves more versatile, so that they work visually, when used in combination. Since the designs are more opaque than previous versions, they will show up well against dark colours as well as light.
- Distressable ( for complete customization, sand to your liking!)
- Buildable ( more opaque so they can be layered with other transfers, as well as show up against darker colours. Because sometimes one is just not enough, and a maker needs to make it their own.)
- Improved backing to help prevent transfer mishaps.
- Easy to use. These beauties transfer onto your project surface like butter.
IOD Décor Transfers are a little delicate, need a little extra care, but are so worth it. With a little instruction, they are easy to use and add instant style to your projects.
Preparation is key
