First prepare the surface for application by cleaning the surface, either with a damp cloth or alcohol. Make sure to remove any dust particles still on the surface. It is important to get rid of any dirt or oil, else that wall decal will stick to it instead of the surface.
Do not apply the wall decals on a newly painted surface, leave for 6 weeks to dry.
Grab the decal and lay it on a flat surface. Using a credit card smoothen any wrinkles that may be on the decal. Flip it over and repeat the process. If the decal curls up you can use books to weigh it down. All of this is in order to ensure the decal is stuck to the transfer tape that will make applying wall decal easier.
Now you are ready to begin placing the decal. Start by slowly removing the back end of the decal. Make sure every single detail from the design sticks to the transfer tape. You may do it in parts to ensure perfect positioning on the surface.

Wait about 5-10 minutes before removing the transfer tape. You do not need any fancy tool to apply wall decals properly, a credit card with do the trick just fine.
Now remove the transfer tape and enjoy your new design on your wall, car, or even laptop!
