How to Customize a Utensil Crock
Medium
I love creating small projects around the house that are unique and show some personality. A couple years ago, I tried my hand at using Waterslide Decal Paper to customize an otherwise boring old utensil crock. The results were fabulous. It takes just a bit to get the hang of using waterslide decals...but the projects you can create with this technique are so fun and professional looking!
There is a lot of detail...please see the blog post and also remember all waterslide decal paper has slight variations in application - read the directions thoroughly!

To make your own customized crock you need the following:
-Crock; Image; Bowl with lukewarm water; Oven; Decal squeegee and/or paper towel
-bowl with lukewarm water
-oven
-decal squeegee or paper towel
Follow the instruction on your waterslide decal paper - all brands differ slightly; Print the image - using MIRROR IMAGE - and let the ink dry thoroughly; Cut to size; Clean the crock with a swipe of rubbing alcohol.
Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water; Place the decal into the water, face up, for 1 minute; The paper slides off the back; Place image on the crock and gently squeegee out water.
Remove air bubble by blotting; Bake according to package directions. This took 3+ hours at varying temperatures.
It takes some time but looks great and totally professional!
