How to Back your Tarot Cards with Contact Paper

[@nessa0n]

I’m so happy you posted this. I’ve been looking for a way to make my green witch tarot cards more robust. 🎉 Thanks for sharing!! What a great idea!

[@crystalheart9]

Wow, that turned out really nice, what a great idea for cards that are on the thin side. Thanks for showing how you did it.

[@the_hermits_cave]

They are beautiful, particularly the rose gold! I can only imagine how mine would turn out! 😝 Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏼📿

Two Spirit - oh lordy, my poor decks cringe when they see me coming with scissors, haha. But I like shiny things! Thank you for supporting me. :)

Great video, really clear instructions. The best I have seen!

[@layercakearts]

mysticalmamma - thank you! I do love a thick chunky modified deck, haha.

[@Amalkavs]

you are a savior, literally, may the mother bless you!!

Was watching a channel by Luna Fortuna topic How to gild your Tarot Cards. She used a gold felt pen which gave a not to bright edge. She then used Martha Steward gold Gild. She used Q-tips sparingly. Could see how bright gold they were just on one card as she was painting them. On a different channel several viewers mention Faber Castellated Pit pens . They said theFaber are professional pens and not cheap. Also saw a deck edged in Silver. Beautiful

Fantastic!! You answered all my questions. Thank you!

Here because my Inner Child tarot deck is thin as heck. And I'm pretty tough on my cards. Thank you so much for this video!

[@layercakearts]

Aw thank you! Haha it’s funny to see older videos, so many things I need to improve on! But the backing... most of the decks are still holding up, the silver backing and rose gold backing are great and the clear contact paper is holding up on the Aquarian. But for some reason the clear didn’t stick to my Tarot of Transformation which is my absolute favorite deck soI had to re-back it with the silver and now we’re a big happy family again. Let me know how it goes with The Inner Child. Are you part of the FB group Tarot With Scissors? Fabulous group and endless eye candy. Cheers!

Can I put contact paper on the front and back of my cards to make them more sturdy? I don't like flimsy tarot cards. I got used to having thick card stock from oracle cards, I like the longevity they held with them verses the tarot cards.

I wish i have your expertise!! Lovely! 💕💕💕

[@the_fae_witch1509]

I wish I had seen this before getting mine laminated because this would have been a lot cheaper. Great video.

[@MarilynFromTarotClarity]

Hi :) Does the adhesive pick up your fingerprints while you handle it?

[@78cardstellastory72]

Gosh if I’d know this I probably wouldn’t of sold my Tarot of the Master. Great tutorial thank you.

[@MinaDeCaro]

I love the way you re-backed the Linestrider and the Llewellyn tarot! Do you have links to where I can buy that gold and silver paper? Thank you

[@veronicajude]

Those turned out great!

[@slipthetrap]

Thanks for sharing :-) there are some decks I might try this on. What's the corner rounder you're using ?

[@layercakearts]

Chris Smith - Hi! The corner rounder is by Kadomaru, found it on Amazon, it's been very reliable and I like that it has 3 corner options.

[@butterflycucumbers6279]

Would it be a good idea to do the face of the cards with clear contact paper aswell?

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

Depends on how thick you want your cards

[@leslycrescentmoonjournals]

I have had success backing my DruidCraft in a wood grain paper but am having issues with air bubbles with the clear. I’ve tried a roller over top and a straight edge but can’t get them out and visually it doesn’t look good. Any suggestions? Thanks. Your video was great.

[@ceridwenscauldron2799]

This was great. Thanks so much. Good lord you are brave pulling that contact paper to have enough for 5 cards, I'd end up in a sticky mess 😅😅😅 I'll do one at a time

[@layercakearts]

Tarot Alchemist - thanks for watching! I hope you'll try it and let me know how it goes. Um, I might addicted to deck mod now.

[@ceridwenscauldron2799]

I'm nervous as hell about trying it. The deck is on pre-order, it's Sacred Visions Oracle. The backs have text which I know I will find distracting. But it will depend on how good the guide book is. But I'll definitely do an unboxing when it arrives

[@Jade-ug1jd]

Hi, I'm just curious that rebacked deck still works well? :)
