Great video Deirdre! Quick thought: I have used “Reynolds” freezer paper for a similar project involving fabric. You likely know this, but for those not able to source label stock, thought I’d mention. Thank you so much for all your fantastic videos!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I never had great luck with freezer paper but I am going to try it again

[@lisasmith9045]

I always like to see new ways to do things. I usually just print on the fabric itself but I'll give this a try. Love your videos.

Thank you for this. I'm getting bored with everyone using cricut. I ain't buying a machine for only occasional projects.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I understand! I love my Cricut but understand not everyone has one so try and make my videos very versatile. You will see me sneak my Cricut projects in once and a whole though. :)

Hi Diedre, I don't have a printer - can I do this technique with markers?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks for watching Jane. I have never tried sorry

[@MissMolly3377]

That sounds interesting, let us know if you try it.

[@lisalebeau2684]

Idk but im gonna try it. Ive used fabric crayons till crayola removed a certain ingredient that was toxic if you eat a rediculous amount.

[@eugenetswong]

If you saw at the thrift store label backings with no labels, then would you buy them? By the way, maybe you could do this with food packaging that has some unprinted space.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Great tips

[@annodnostaw9971]

Ms Diedre, I just lined some bookshelves with DOLLAR TREE contact paper. The backing on the contact paper is almost exactly as the CD/mailing labels. Do you think that backing paper could be used in the same way as you do in this video? I think I will try and see what happens.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yep I bet that would work great! let me know how you make out :)

[@MissMolly3377]

Wax paper will work, too.

[@agiagata945]

Thank you for this and other videos, helped me a lot 😅 What do think about decoupage napkins or other paper on cotton muslim fabric with quite loose weave? 😊

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I would do a test patch

[@Estellamed]

Thank you so much for your video. Just one question. Can I print in color or does it just have to be back and white?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Do you have a colour printer definitely it will work

[@tl4839]

You are amazing! If this did work with inkjet and ink wasnt dark enough could you use a fabric marker to darken?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes you could try

[@cindythigpen1749]

I love your graphics and store....if I down load and print it comes out in black and white, how do I get those beauties in colors??

[@OurUpcycledLife]

These are designed to be black and white so unfortunately you can’t colour them

[@teresavalliere2888]

Have you ever used freezer paper or butcher paper to print on as your carrier paper. Both have a slick non wax coating that is similar to the sheet your using and would be cheaper and easy to find in the grocery store.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes I have and it doesn’t work as well thanks for watching Teresa

[@Ghostrob2023]

That is pretty cool, but I have an inkjet printer instead of a laser one. Have you tried using the inkjet printer and what did it look like afterwards? I'm just looking for an easier way to transfer a picture or photo to fabric without using Mod Podge? Thank you.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

No this doesn't work well with a ink jet. The ink smears to easily. I haven't really found a great method to transfer to fabric without Mod Podge unless you have a Cricut. Thanks for watching

Is there anyway to avoid the glossy sheen on the finished project? Thanks

[@jennifertaylor7784]

Use matte mod podge

[@sweetums6607]

@@jennifertaylor7784 she used matte Mod Podge & had a glossy sheen.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

It does tend to have a bit of a glossy sheen after you iron. I am unsure how to completely eliminate that unless you could find a really matte top coat to cover it

[@MissMolly3377]

Yeah, I don't care for that, either. I notice it on the transfers on wood projects too, where you rub the paper off, and that would bug me, personally. That is why I am not a fan of the rib on transfers, like IOD or Prima Redesign make. They have a shiny edge. They are beautiful, though.

[@lollylolly8186]

@@MissMolly3377 I love IOD, try sanding the imagine to get a less shiny look but it will look slightly distressed or try dealing with a matte sealer. Or wax but don’t buff to a high sheen.

[@MissMolly3377]

Print on the wax paper, and save your labels. Christine Elizabeth, is one channel, that I know of, who does print on wax paper, with an ink jet printer, and her project came out beautiful.

[@mialaakkonen6691]

Really great idea👍. Do you think that it would be possible to use freezer paper instead of cd paper?

[@lw7967]

I use freezer paper & a color laser. I put on 1 coat of Mod Podge then I add a second coat just before I put down the print. I squeegee it on very well, leaving no bubbles. I leave it overnight & pull off the paper in the morning. I found the ironing left spots & made the Mod Podge a bit bubbled. Might have just been me & too hot of an iron! My method is longer but I do get great results. This is a great place to start for ideas! She makes great videos!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Ohhh!! i will try that. Compare the 2 and see what happens. Thanks for the tips :)

[@sharonjansky3877]

This is an awesome technique. What happens when you use an ink jet printer?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

The ink doesn't adhere well to the paper and smears everywhere. Some people have luck. I haven't

[@MissMolly3377]
