Step 1: Peel off the chalkboard film

First, thoroughly clean the back side of the IKEA play kitchen to ensure that the KREIDIG chalkboard films adhere properly. Use a mild cleaner for this. Once the surface has been cleaned, dry it thoroughly.

Now peel the chalkboard films off the backing paper slowly and at a shallow angle.

Step 2: Applying the blackboard film

Now stick the two blackboard films onto the back side of the play kitchen one after the other.

Always start applying the blackboard films at the top left-hand corner of the respective back panel. Position the blackboard film carefully to ensure it is applied straight and flush.

Then smooth your flat hand over the film to remove any air bubbles and achieve a smooth surface.
