Easy Image Transfer using Annie Sloan paint..Chalk Paint ®

Janet from The Empty Nest shows you how to do an easy image transfer using only a laser printed image and Annie Sloan paint.
Alert! I mistakenly said ink jet, when laser print is preferred. Very sorry for the confusion. Ink jet may bleed.

Hola. Ya sé pasaron 5 años y recien veo pero la gran noticia es que lo hice y salió perfecta la tranferencia con otra marca de chalk porque aqui en mi país no venden annie. Besos

[@StudioJanet]

Hola Fran ... Estoy muy feliz de que hayas podido obtener hermosos resultados en tu proyecto de pintura. Estoy seguro de que es hermoso. Que te vaya bien ... Janet xx

[@goose7574]

I love that you were able to use an inkjet photo. A lot of times you have to use a laser printer. Thanks for this video!

[@hummerklein2567]

I’m new to your channel Thank you for sharing this with me Love your work. I enjoy watching your videos thanks again

[@StudioJanet]

Hello Hummer…. I apologize, it seems you posted this comment a year ago and I am just now seeing it. Thank you so much for your kind words and be well! Janet x

[@shycooley5187]

How fun this is going to be!!! Looking for the perfect picture now ;)

[@user-bu4pl8kv7x]

I can't wait to try that! Thank you for this video!

[@StudioJanet]

Of course...Have fun!

[@taniathomas-edwards603]

I tried this it’s brilliant👍🏻

[@StudioJanet]

YAY!!! Thank you for commenting Tania!

[@ashleywright8686]

Like your video. Next time can you film horizontally instead of vertically? 🌸 what works really well to remove the paper is an art sponge.

[@StudioJanet]

Hello Ashleigh and thank you for visiting my channel and commenting. I apologize for the vertical video. This was in my early stages of making videos, and I wasn’t aware at the time that I could or should turn the phone horizontally. But now I know😉 Be well…Janet xx

To the viewers - You can also buy chalk on line and flat latex paint at the big box stores to make your own chalk paint. Glaze/color wash can be made as well. Save money. Do it yourself.

[@StudioJanet]

Hello Michael...I am very happy that you enjoyed my little video. Of course, you are more than welcome to use whatever products you are familiar with. I don't hear at any time in my presentation, that this will only work with Annie Sloan paint. At the time of creating this video, I was the owner of a vintage boutique and I was an Annie Sloan Stockist, so it is should not come as any surprise to viewers that I would be primarily using Annie's products. Working with Annie's products was what my viewers and customers wanted and expected. I am very sorry you have a problem with that. Again, thank you for watching and commenting. Merry Christmas! Janet x

[@amnashafaat1013]

it's amazing and I love the technique. So just one more question how do we finish if we apply gilding gold paint and modge podge print on it.

[@StudioJanet]

Amna Shafaat By finish, do you mean a top coat? I waxed mine with Annie Sloan wax. Be sure to add any paint before you wax..wax is always the final layer. Hope that answers your question. Thank you for visiting Janet xx

[@chiaraoconnor2272]

I have just purchased an INKJET printer on the back of this video!!! Oh dear! Need to send it all back! :-(

[@StudioJanet]

The very first transfer I did was with an ink jet image. It worked great.

[@vegasjill21]

Beautiful job and great tips! Thank you so much. Did you ever, by chance, try to do that with latex flat paint??? Thanks for your help. :)

[@StudioJanet]

Thank you....I never use latex paint.

[@nicolamonk3620]

I LOVE this video! Thanks. Can't wait to give it a try! Inkjet printer right?

[@StudioJanet]

Laser printer...I think I might have said ink jet, but then corrected myself. So sorry for any confusion.

[@lushgetaways4028]

oh my gosh! can't wait to try this, guess it won't fit a workshop since it dries overnight ... is the adhesion as good as you get with découpage medium?

[@StudioJanet]

+Kim Mancha Yes...adhesion is great Kim!

[@StudioJanet]

Kim....I just did this and dried with a blow dryer. It worked great!

[@MsDroke]

@Janet Metzger, Artist I’m so happy I found this video, I never would have guessed you could actually use your paint to do an image transfer!! Thank you so much for sharing this! 🙏🏻 Then, just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, I see you used a hair dryer successfully, which for me is the greatest news since I’m not very patient!!😂 Anyway, just wanted to say thank you for this!!🤗♥️

[@guynu78]

Great video. 2 questions : Does it work with Laserjet prints? Does it work with pther brands of chalk paint ( Plaid / Americana )?

[@StudioJanet]

Yes...laser printers are best. Those other brands of paint have latex in them or are acrylic...it will not work. That has been my experience.

[@janetlehmann9698]

What kind of paper did you use?

[@StudioJanet]

cheap printer paper

[@ashleywilliams4020]

Just wondering if she used a top coat on the paint prior to transferring the image onto the cabinet???

[@StudioJanet]

no, I waxed after

[@stardust_kiki]

Would this work with a dark chalk paint like black?

[@paulinedoyle6766]

??? I wish I had the answer

[@StudioJanet]

so sorry Kiki...just now seeing this question. You can use any color paint, as long as the image you choose can be seen against the dark paint. Hope that helps...Janet xx

[@StudioJanet]

@@paulinedoyle6766 Sorry Pauline...please see my response to Kiki. Thank you for visiting...Janet xx

[@lesliezimmers7409]

Does all of the paper come up or does a thin layer stay?

[@StudioJanet]

Just the ink from the image remains in bedded in the paint

[@goldenruby1]

Would wrapping paper work do you think?

[@StudioJanet]

I've not tried that yet...it just might work!

[@goldenruby1]

+Janet Metzger ok thank you I think I'll give it a shot I'll tell you how it goes!

[@janinebowden289]

Mod podge does the same thing and much less expensive..

[@StudioJanet]

Yes I know that, but this is achieving a transfer with no medium but the paint itself. Thanks so much for watching the video, I appreciate it.

[@lizzyleff8959]

Where did you get the plastic part attached to the Annie Sloan can?

[@StudioJanet]

Hi Lizzy...I sell them in my shop!

[@terrijuanette486]

Where is your shop?

[@webnut1]

Can we get them in the UK? What are they called. Thanks

[@StudioJanet]

these plastic quart tops do not fit the European pots..sorry.
