I have to say I absolutely love that your furry friend sits there on your desk in your videos. Mine was always in my lap while I worked. I miss him dearly. 🙂

[@OurUpcycledLife]

She is a spoiled girl!!! Thanks for watching Jessica

[@annezimet2524]

You are a decoupage genius! your videos are professionally done, pertinent and easy to follow. No "um", or nervous laughs and saying the same thing over and over again like we are idiots! Love you!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks so much 😊

[@timdyck8492]

The reverse method is actually the only one that really makes sense to do as the other are really only gluing a piece of paper to wood ,so you can’t do different coloured wood , I prefer making a stencil and painting it on 🤷‍♂️ to each there own ,thank you for sharing 😎

[@rockforester7908]

I am too inept to do the reverse transfer so I like the other ones myself. I’m a teacher of 9 yr old and they would LOVE doing this!!

[@annmariefleet350]

I just found you. YAY. I am happy to see someone that doesn't use a cricut for every thing. I have too much stuff now and don't want another expense added when I am trying to make things on a budget. I am so happy to find yoy.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

So glad your enjoying ❤️

[@RARA-je1ze]

Okay i missed the first 33 seconds of what you said as I could not stop admiring your beautiful room!!!!! ❤❤❤❤And i only leave youtube comments once every 8 years 😂

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Glad you enjoyed ❤️

[@puddgyballerina]

I learned the reverse transfer in middle school and loved it. A friend gave me some beautiful photos of chickens I want to mount on wood and do the reverse transfer with them. I loved this video. Thank you.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

That is awesome!

Thanks 😊

[@skyetatanka8864]

THANK YOU for putting all these methods together!!! Finally someone did that, and you did it in such a straightforward, uncomplicated manner!! Thank you, thank you!!

[@debrapate971]

Oh boy! I just purchased some graphics AND… a laser jet printer so I can stay up with you (kinda!)

[@sharonjansky3877]

Thank you for sharing all 4 methods. I think my favorite is going to be the reverse transfer because it would be so satisfying as you rub off the paper to see your image. Also your sanding is already done. Can’t wait to try a photo using this method!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

My favourite too!! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@genevaslone9943]

I really enjoyed the craft today. My kids always ask me what am I going to up cycle next. I have been saving and repurposing for years. I enjoy what you can make out of the simplest of things. I will be watching for more of your great ideas. Thank You 🙏

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Wonderful!

[@tinastock5212]

Thank you for the four different ways, I have tried the iron one with a small table and wrapping paper came out lovely,I am about to tune in and watch how you can make napkins so thank you for that x

TV Guy know-it-all here: Excellent production value. Don't forget audio quality. Open was an echo chamber. Soundstages are "dead" rooms. Voice over had white noise, HVAC or something. Video is amazing. Get the audio sorted and you are there.

[@alexfoster3101]

Thank you so much for making this video. I had seen a thing about the reverse transfer once upon a time but when I tried to find it now, all I could find was videos either showing the regular method you put here (Not what I want) or talking about the new modge podge photo transfer stuff and that was not helpful. This video really was, thank you so much.

Glad it helped! Have fun creating

I am so thrilled that I found you! The reverse transfer method is going to save me so much money! I don't have to use vinyl on every project and sometimes you can get bleeding with stencils. My crafting world has been opened even more! Thank you for the clear instructions for each method.

Hi, I love your tutorials, they are so inspiring. The reverse image transfer is the best one for me but its also been very interesting to see all the different ways it can be done. thank you!!!!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks for watching 🌸 I love the reverse method also! My go too

[@charlamckinney2109]

All the methods are lovely, but I like the iron-on one best. Thank you for such a concise, informative tutorial.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching Charla

[@natiakakabadze3307]

Thank you for so detailed explanations, you would be a great teacher. I was interested if I could transfer images on a trace paper instead of wood?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I don’t see why you couldn’t

[@rosaelinav8036]

Thank you, for explained the difference work done, and honestly they all looks beautiful. Thank you again.😊

Thanks for watching Rebecca

[@cathylavorante6871]

I haven’t watched the whole video but your space is beautiful! I love the yellow and gray!

[@CountryTeach]

Thank you for the video. I use iron on method myself because it has the least amount of wrinkles for me compared to the regular method. I have found that putting a top coat of mod podge after ironing sometimes causes wrinkles so in that case I skip the top coat. I am off to watch your homemade chalk paint and ink jet printer videos! Thanks again.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks 🌸 yes I do find it also wrinkles sometimes I just re iron after top coat of wrinkle appears!

[@Sircaymen]

I like the napkin transfer. Thank you for the info.

[@reginahudson9909]

I would not consider 3 of them transfers since they stay on the paper , I would be more interested in seeing how to transfer an image onto something. Thank you for the tutorial !

[@serenityjewel]

True. It doesn't matter for this video but it does matter if people think the other 3 are transfers and go into the crafting community using the terms incorrectly. I can see people getting really confused if they think gluing paper onto wood is the same as a transfer.

[@mrgrinch61]

Rude

[@digramma_NL]

There's no transfer in 3 of the techniques. That's just misleading.

[@annswann1941]

@@mrgrinch61 not rude at all!

[@annswann1941]

Thanks for saying this, I thought I was misunderstanding what a transfer is

He explained things well you don’t chitter chatter in between thank you so much I subscribed on the previous real that I watched but I couldn’t find a place to put a comment so I’m putting it on here I look forward to seeing more of your work thank you so much and you’re organized

You are so welcome!

[@christinasmith731]

Good evening, Ms. Deidre. I've been following you on Facebook and just found you on KZbin. I've really enjoyed watching your videos and seeing what you make. You have inspired me to make make Reverse Transfer to wood signs. I decided to start making them and selling them at our monthly events in my small town and other craft fairs that my county does through the year. Yesterday was my first attempt at making them. I'd like to tell you my process and see if you can help me to figure out what I did wrong and how I can fix it. I found Bible verses and inspirational quotes that I want to use. I used a font generator to generate the words, copy and pasted them to Word, did a 180° flip, and then printed the pages out. I found scrap wood to fit each phrase the way I wanted them, cut them, and sanded them down. Of the 8 boards, I did a "stain" with 1 part brown acrylic paint and 3 parts water. After I applied the stain to the wood, I wiped it off immediately. For the other 5 boards, I painted 4 with acrylic paint and 1 with some house paint that I had sitting around. Since I live in 100°+ weather in Texas, I was able to put the wood outside to dry for about 30 minutes to an hour and they dried well. When I took them inside, I applied the coat of Mod Podge, placed the paper down, used a stiff card to press the air bubbles out and left them to dry over night and all day. When I got home this evening, I began with one of the stained boards. I used a sponge to apply water to the paper and began using the sponge to gently rub the paper off, which worked. Then I noticed that the letters were rubbing off, so I switched to using my fingers, which worked, but again, I noticed that the letters were rubbing off. Next, I did the same process on the acrylic painted boards, and again, I found that the letters were rubbing off. I went back and was searching for a video that might explain what I did wrong and how I could fix it, but I didn't see one. Can you please guide me to a video that will help me, or if you have the time to respond and guide me, I would truly appreciate it? Sincerely, Christina Smith

[@OurUpcycledLife]

It won’t work well on acrylic paint. Chalk paint work’s better
