Transfer your own photography to canvas, fabric or wood using Mod Podge and a laser printer.
MATERIALS:
Mini canvas 3 x 3 inches
Mod Podge, Matte
Small brush
Scissors
Water dish
Paper towels
Coin – penny or nickel
Bone Folder (opt)
NOTES:
The transfer will be the mirror image of the original. To account for this, reverse the image before printing.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Mod Podge
Cut image to size. Working on scrap paper, brush an even layer of Mod Podge over the entire image. Any areas not coated will not transfer.
Burnish
Using a bone folder or your finger, gently rub over the back of the image until the paper is smooth and well adhered. Be careful not to tear the paper or get Mod Podge on the blank side of the paper.
Clean
Small beads of Mod Podge will form at the edge. Wipe clean with a damp paper towel. If left to dry they will form hard bumps. Set aside to dry.
Wet
When Mod Podge is totally dry, dip you finger, or a clean brush, in water and wet the paper. Wet the entire surface until the image can be seen through the paper.
Scrape
Using the edge of a coin, gently scrape the paper away. Work carefully as it is easy to scrape away the image as well. If a thin layer of paper remains, with a wet finger quickly but gently rub back and forth over the image. Repeat as necessary.
