In body shop in collage, we took photos and layered polyurethane over them and pealed it off when it dried. We would put them motorcycle gas tanks or car hoods helmets or whatever and sprayed a clear coat so the seam would melt in. Any high-quality print would work, even magazine pictures.

[@thereisbeautyinthisworld7251]

Sounds really interesting.

[@kimberlyd2308]

Can you elaborate on that process? Sounds cool

[@MagicallyResin]

Painted layers of polyurethane? Or some type of sheet like vinyl? I love this idea. 💝

[@whitepunksvevo1343]

@@MagicallyResin Thats what is is.

[@Null-Red-Blue]

So you sprayed polyurethane onto a photo or magazine, then when dried, you could just peel off the poly layer the image and throw it onto something with clear coat?

[@janh5199]

You can do the same with magazine photos. That is how we made transparencies to show on overhead projectors when I first started teaching.

[@rickr.mortis4821]

We did this in grade school with magazine cutouts.

[@flashy5150]

I was going to say , once you stick the photo to your jar, maybe try a blow dryer or a heat gun to get the adhesive on the tape more sticky. Also, make sure you don’t touch the surface where you are going to stick the picture, because oil from your hands will make it not want to stick and it will start to bubble later on and peel off. Personally, I would use clear waterslide decal paper, print your image, spray a light coat of clear lacquer over it, let dry, cut out your image, soak it in water, slide the image onto your jar, smooth out and let it dry. Then mask it off and spray, so the lacquer covers the outside perimeter of your image by a 1/4”, to bury it in lacquer and make it permanent. Then you can wash the jar and the image is sealed onto your glass. It will never come off. Nice idea of yours though.

[@smcdaniel3894]

May I ask, 1)where do you get waterslide paper at? 2) after you soak in water do you rub off anything and do you apply wet to the glass? Thank you so much

[@Author_Alyssa_Taylor]

So beautiful! I love this ❤ You make it look so easy ❤

[@UncommonEyes]

Love it must try for gifts to give for someone who likes to take photos. Also can use on sheet of glass for larger photos, I think. Looks like an easier way to make floating photo in those floating frames such as I once used for a beautiful tulip poplar silk moth-that photo sold🙂. It was a bear to get lined up in places and keep there. I don’t have a laser printer, but the library does😀. Thanks so much for sharing this video.

I’m so delighted, l saw your video! I just purchased 49 Clear Glass Ornaments from Hobby Lobby (4” X 4” X 1” sort of like a flat cube shape) I was going to mod podge photos of my Grandkids onto them... This is so much better! Seriously, it’s serendipitous! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ♥️ Now, I just have to buy a laser printer but, I don’t care I needed a new printer anyway! ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 P.S.

[@09shirish]

Nice idea, pl. told me which type of photocopy you can used ! (for transmitting the image)

[@reggaereggae6986]

Can you use the clear roll for book covers or is it not sticky enough thank you

[@DH-qz2so]

Were there issues at all with burnishing, or the look of the finished project, with the seams of the tape?

[@cwp2614]

I do get it. Does the tape just stay on the picture while the edges eventually begin to curl up?

[@libertymicrofarm6032]

That’s cool. But how do you protect it? I mean in time, won’t the tape begin to lift? Can you maybe mod lodge over it? Or use like a spray acrylic?

[@josephineblanc9801]

Brillant

[@123456789numbers100]

would i be able to use the same photo transfer method onto an acrylic keychain/ornament?

[@user-mv7jm2vm7m]

Great information! I still don't get it. How does it stuck to the glass if you're not using any kind of glue?

[@tinascott7126]

So amazing! Been wanting to try something like this but could never figure out quite how to do it. Thank you! Though I do have a couple questions. Does it peal off easy? If so, is there anything you can do to prevent it?

[@DH-qz2so]

Use ModPodge over the project, let dry... will dry clear.

[@yvonneost12]

So the sticky tape stays on the photo ? even on the finished product ?

[@gabrielaorozco7784]

🌷✨ thanks ✨ 🌟 👌

[@jobell1060]

The only problem I have with this technique is that you can see the individual strips of tape. If you use a sheet of tape I think you would get better results. But great idea!

[@artandcraft835]

[@successinvictus5145]

I am thinking, maybe the transparent sticker sheet would be best for bigger photos.

[@yvonnemarie5149]

What about adhesive laminate?

[@sandyc9379]

Yes! The seams are driving me nuts! Can anyone recommend a wide tape? I tried clear Con-tact roll but while rubbing the soaked paper off, the image rubs off in several spots with it. Burnished it to death & used my laser printer.

[@sitara333infinitelovefrequ6]

Hi can you do this with photographs ? Or does it need to be printed from your printer on standard paper

[@jamjam922]

After washing many time pics will stay or after sometimes fade away?
