DIY Wood Signs Mod Podge Transfer

[@patriciaspapercuts701]

Thank you for sharing your project. Most instructors talk so fast I find it so difficult to follow them. Your videos are just perfect.

[@RedRockingBird]

That’s really lovely of you to say thank you ☺️❤️

[@MissMolly3377]

Thank you. I watched another woman do this with a laser jet, but she didn’t think it would work for an inkjet printer, so I am so happy you showed how to do it with an ink jet printer.

[@RedRockingBird]

Always works for me, hopefully it goes well 😊

[@ldoiron18]

Thank you for this video. I see so many signs done with a Cricut machine & quite frankly did not want to put the money into buying that machine. This is a great alternative & so much more affordable.

[@RedRockingBird]

Glad it was helpful so many crafts we can do in a much more affordable way and they are always my favourite 😊 Thank you

[@csibson3438]

Great job for someone that struggles with projects, you helped ...A whole lot! Thank you

[@RedRockingBird]

I'm so glad thank you

[@maidservantofgod]

Ohhh my gosh. This has changed my life!!!

[@RedRockingBird]

😂 in a good way I hope ❤️ enjoy your projects

[@deliawilson4939]

[@tammysue2334]

Thank you for this idea ! Yours came out really nice love your voice it’s so relaxing 😌 very nice 👍🏼 I am excited to do this I have alot of wood been saving to make something for my yard 😁

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you Tammy, enjoy your projects…exciting 😊

[@purpleplump6650]

Loving your channel and videos...........love the signs 😊.......glad I stumbled across your channel 😀

[@RedRockingBird]

Yay! Thank you, so glad 😊

[@katiecellini1007]

THANK YOU! exactly what I was looking for! 💕

[@RedRockingBird]

Aw super, thank you 😊

[@cathyd.9597]

Your voice is so calming!! Would acrylic paint work to paint the wood?

[@RedRockingBird]

Yes, definitely, thank you

[@gloriamae7104]

Thank you, great tut & thank you for the printout :)

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, you are very welcome : )

[@PellyjellyMom]

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

You’re welcome, thanks for watching ❤️

Love it so much!Thank you💕

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you 😊

[@sararose5754]

Great tutorial, I tried this but my print came off with the paper....do you know what would have caused this?

[@RedRockingBird]

Thanks. Ah 🤔 did you leave it to dry over night? Or you could have been rubbing too hard or over wetting the paper. Sorry it didn’t work this time, maybe it would another time, I love the technique and find with patience it works well ❤️

[@sararose5754]

@@RedRockingBird thank you. I will keep trying for sure. Fantastic work 🖤

[@RedRockingBird]

Hope it works out, makes sure it’s super dry, I often leave somewhere warm ❤️

[@katrinaevans7588]

Do you recommend lighter colored wood for these projects? I have a darker wood...so if I painted it white would the black text still show even though the wood is darker?

[@RedRockingBird]

On plain wood then yes it works better on light wood, but sure give it a white coat and I think it’ll be great 😊

[@katrinaevans7588]

@@RedRockingBird ok! I am using a cutting board but it is more of a brown wood color...cant wait. Thanks!

[@RedRockingBird]

Sounds great 😊

[@RedRockingBird]

@@katrinaevans7588 how did it go?

[@katrinaevans7588]

@@RedRockingBird turned out fine for my first time! I watched so many videos about how to do this and one of them suggested using a soft toothbrush to remove the wet paper. It is easier than using fingers but even the soft bristles removed some of the ink. I will be making another one tonight, using my fingers. Thank you for following up! It means a lot.

[@l.lawliet9295]

Brilliant, I love it 🥰

[@RedRockingBird]

Wonderful thank you 😊

[@YaelYasha]

I was wondering how do you actually make the Designs/Texts, what program do you use for it if I may ask?

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi, I use photoshop as that’s just what I use for everything, but you could use anything like word, cut them out and then piece them together on the wood, hope that helps

[@lisakennealy1695]

Search for: Flip text for a mirror image in Word. It's available if you use a text box then Right click > format shape> 3d rotation> type 180 in the X axis box>click OK.

[@mediamangraphicsolutionsin1451]

hello! will this work on just wood or is it necessary to paint it?

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi. Yes works on just wood

[@gabbib8832]

Hi, I would love to do one of these. I tried on my printer and the ink started smearing right away. What kind of ink do you have in your printer. Also, where do you find your program to print in reverse? Thank you so much!

[@RedRockingBird]

Mine is an inkjet , make sure the brush is not wet with water and your surface is dry. Edit flip horizontal, I use photoshop, all are different sorry. Maybe try the trace and paint method: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGe6nXqci9Sei6s

[@rondabdangles]

I spray many of my projects with aerosol hair spray before I start brushing over it.

[@RedRockingBird]

@@rondabdangles fabulous, I love hair spray for setting certain art and non art supplies too, wonderful

[@sonz4205]

Ps. I’m going to go through a lot of your videos!! Thank you

[@RedRockingBird]

Super, plenty there to choose from 😊

[@guillermo7777]

Amazing… anything you recommend to use instead of mod podge, can’t find it where I live, thanks

[@RedRockingBird]

you could try with a strong PVA glue, can't promise anything but sometimes works

[@imposter.Target.Dog.]

Miniwax Polycrylic!!

[@johnbauer3801]

WHAT COMPUTER PROGRAM DO YOU USE FOR LETTERS THAT LARGE???

[@RedRockingBird]

I typically use photoshop

[@indianaajoness]

Woah! If you have colored paper, will the color also be on the wood?

[@RedRockingBird]

Yes some trace of the paper is left behind

[@DaisyPink555]

Can you use regular mod podge or do you need the mod podge photo transfer kind? Thanks :)

[@RedRockingBird]

As you see in the video I use the regular one, always have and it works for me 🌺

[@Mark-yb1sp]

Excellent advice and video.

[@RedRockingBird]

Glad it was helpful, thanks

[@carmishaclay5025]

what kind of paper is this? Reg printing paper?

[@RedRockingBird]

Yes basic paper and inkjet printer

[@angelashue9969]

Beautiful! What type of printer do you have and where do you get your wording and designs from?

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you. Cannon inkjet. Any app that you can design on and then flip in reverse, there are many apps out there for free, I use photoshop though

[@suzy1676]

This is great!

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you 😊

[@lefthook3324]

Would a glossy type of paper transfer to the wood?

[@RedRockingBird]

Yes it still should, I just use the cheap stuff though

[@sepidehasgharpour9996]

Great😍 can we do with laiser printing?

[@RedRockingBird]

I've always used inkjet but I think laser should work

[@MissMolly3377]

I have seen another channel do it with a laser jet printer, she said she didn’t know if it would work with ink jet printer, so I am glad I watched this.

[@RedRockingBird]

@@MissMolly3377 super, enjoy 😀

[@kathyb-007]

Would it be easier to use/print on tissue paper? Thanks

[@RedRockingBird]

i find it pretty hard to print on something so thin, even though taped on another sheet

[@jodiprestridge7430]

Hi, May I ask what kind of ink jet printer you have? Brand name?

[@RedRockingBird]

I have a canon

[@artisticthoughtsbyelena]

Just curious, what kind of paper do you use? Thank you, this is so informative.

[@artisticthoughtsbyelena]

Never mind, I read someone asking the same comment. Oh well. Thanks again.

[@RedRockingBird]

@@artisticthoughtsbyelena 😊 yep just regular basic paper works for me, hope it works out well

[@katrinaevans7588]

I think I made a boo-boo on my project. I used the mod podge on my wood surface. I FORGOT to put some on my paper! I just placed my paper directly on top of the mod podge on my wood surface! Ugh! Will it still transfer to the wood even though I forgot to put some on the paper itself? Ugh! I wasnt thinking and got distracted!

[@RedRockingBird]

Yes it really should if you smoothed it out super well so every bit of paper has modpodge on it, good luck, let me know how it goes ❤️

[@naylinoo3975]

What kind of paper did you use?

[@RedRockingBird]

Just basic copy paper

[@vegasvancitygirl9251]

Where are u suppose to find these sayings backwards?!! Or did you somehow turn them backwards? HOW ? Thank You.

[@RedRockingBird]

You flip them horizontal, many aps will let you do this, I use photoshop: edit, transform, flip horizontal. Hope this helps

[@michele2360]

You can create your own sayings in Word - just put the text into a text box and then right click on the text box, go into Format Shape and go down to 3-D Rotation and change the X Rotation to 180 - it flips the text.

[@Pockets_Full]

Thank you for sharing that. It was beautifully done! I have what may sound like a goofy question (I’m brand new to this.) Is it possible to reverse the colors somehow? I’d like my finished sign to be a distressed looking teal with white lettering, but I can’t figure out how to make that work with this process. What would you suggest?

[@RedRockingBird]

you can in some aps yes, it would be invert or something

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi, this uses a normal home printer, inkjet

[@Meggygirl52]

Is it printed reverse?

[@RedRockingBird]

Yes it needs to be in reverse 👍

[@sonz4205]

Just subscribed. Thank you 🥰. I hane these cute little stickers, rather than transfers. Can I use them on a project like this? (Smaller piece of wood)

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi, welcome. Sounds like you could yes. ❤️

[@creationsbytammy7161]

I do not see link for printable?

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi, thank you for pointing this out, I completely forgot to go back and add it in, it's there now. drive.google.com/file/d/1-EWMJWiVhfUbquiqiutZsyzdXM4cQCoo/view?usp=sharing Thanks for watching

[@nannyval49]

Can you use the 2/3rd pva 1 third water mix for this.? Mod podge so expensive. I'm loving your tuturiols. Started air dry clay today. Going to need bit practice 😂

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi, you can try it with PVA, although i haven't, but i'd use it neat not diluted, but why don't you try it on a scrap piece of wood, there are so many PVA's that some might work and some might not. I got my last Mod podge on offer in hobby craft. Glad you're trying the clay too, thanks for watching. I m just getting ready to upload an embroidery bird that will come out tomorrow afternoon, I am totally in love with it, have a great day and let me know how you get on

[@vcalibur1]

Use Michael and Joann fabric coupons

[@irenemartins9227]

hello. how to transfer image with Mod podge on fabric? thanks

[@RedRockingBird]

On taught fabric the same can sometimes be done as this

[@akemiisayama7868]

is it a normal.paper?

[@RedRockingBird]

Yes just plain normal

[@astriddsarangomuneton827]

The dishes are looking at me dirty ... Again. ٩😝۶

[@RedRockingBird]

😂🤣😂

[@GirladyLocks]

This only works with a laser printer, y'all! Make sure your copy guy prints your letters on a laser printer! Otherwise all your ink will blur and turn our bad ! You're welcome :)

[@RedRockingBird]

in this video I use inkjet as this is what more people have access to at home and it works.

[@GirladyLocks]

@@RedRockingBird Interesting! I stand corrected 👍
