I bought myself a jigsaw and a hand sander yesterday. I'm going to try to make some of the things you say sell really well..we have a huge flea market here so I thought I would do that and put some stuff on Marketplace. My husband has broken his back and can't work so we are desperate to get in some extra money. Thank you for the ideas! ❤️

[@nancycavins402]

U did an excellent job of marrying the paint technique on the frame with the color on the mdf. I esp liked the black with the gold. But the one with the cinnamon was a close second. Great job!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks 😊

[@brendacooper7944]

It's funny how, at first, I didn't like the tape taking off some of the black paint, but it turned out to be my favorite.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Glad you enjoyed

[@MissMolly3377]

They are all beautiful. That gold looks amazing, and it sort of looks like a label, that wore, where you can still see the mod podge/paper, from doing the transfer. The same thing with the last project, with the cinnamon, what you can see from that residue, reminds me of an old label. That cinnamon trick is great. I love the end result. Thank you so much, for doing these.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks!! This transfer method is always so rustic looking but that is what I love about it! I'm going to be rummaging thru my spice cabinet now to try more things

[@paulshaw5788]

LOVING your channel! Laser jet printer on my Christmas wish list along with a large bottle of Mod Podge 😁

[@sandieyule1644]

Can I just say, I absolutely love the look of your signs with the rub off transfer. I like it so much better than the vinyl from the cutting machine. Because we love the old vintage look, I think it is so much more realistic! Thank you for your inspiration!!!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I agree 100% this they look more authentic

[@MissMolly3377]

I think you read my mind. I have so many frames, but they don't have any glass, or mats. I don't have any MDF, but I have some old paneling, I could use.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Oh yes that would work perfect!! Get creating!! xo

[@loanasantos4202]

I usually use Hamp oil or Vaseline to distress sometimes just a light sanding but I live the idea of using g candle wax to distress it. Very clever. Love all your videos 💕🙌

Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I’m LOVING the reverse transfer…but I have blisters on my fingers from rubbing! Lol! Hopefully my fingers get calloused soon to tolerate this technique 😆

[@junerobbins6871]

Everything that you create is awesome. I love how you apply the graphics to your piece. Do you use just your fingers to rub off all of the paper ? I'd think that your fingers would get sore before your done with the bigger pieces.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes I do! Your fingers get used to it and Im a ole pro now! lol..

[@dianahutchison3432]

As usual you knocked it out of the ball park! I was wondering how you attach your MDF board to your frame

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I used my hard glue gun. Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.

[@dianahutchison3432]

@@OurUpcycledLife Thank you so much. I finally tried some of your graphics on a couple projects and I love them! The first one I’ve done the paint came off! Should I seal the paint before I put on the graphic? Another thing I want to ask is how do I sign up for your ( I think it’s called your news letter) ? I push on the sight it takes me to google.

[@karenhaskins590]

I just love all three frames... I'm not even sure which one I like the best because I like them all. They are all so different! Deidre, I can't seem to find the video you referenced about printing the larger graphics. Will you point me in the right direction, please? Thank you so much!

[@retroredo9850]

i love these ones. Being framed makes them a bit more formal and would fit our home decor style a bit more. I think we are uban ranch. ive collected frames too. Also have some thin backer board. We are also going to get a new laser printer. We had a big mess with our last inkjet. Would you mind saying which laser jet you have? So many out there to choose from.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes I love them framed! Here is a link to my printer: amzn.to/3sCbgF5

[@carolwirsz8484]

So amazing how you turn old things into "new" things. Love it. I have tried the reverse Mod Podge transfer method and I always have trouble with the ink bleeding when I rub the paper off. I use an inkjet printer. what am I doing wrong?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Ink jet printers can be tricky! Some work better then others. Just work on small areas as you rub off and don't use much water. That should help. Takes practise. They will always turn out lighter then laser jet printer transfer though. Here is a comparison video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqTZcqxrZ9ehgrs

Hi - I always enjoy your videos! I love your Canadian accent.. makes me feel like I'm watching a friend. I am originally from Northern MN so I grew up around a similar accent. :) I was wondering if you would share where you got your scraper? I have been looking for one, but the ones I am finding have short handles. Are the blades plastic or real razor blades? Thank you! 😊

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I certainly have a strong Canadian accent!! lol... I bought this scraper at the local hardware store and it takes razor blades.

After you decide the graphic how do you size the graphic to match the project - from a 2 X 2 to 8 X 11 frame? I love your channel +& all of the graphics.

We did the rub off technique with our wedding invitations back in the 70’s. How much does a laser jet printer cost nowadays? What brand do you use.

How did you stabilize the mdf panel inside the frame edges? Metal framing points, wood pieces, glue, or staples?

[@lynnwilkeybishop912]

What is a mdf board. Thank you

[@sewsnappy]

Love everything you do! I have tried the transfers several times and can.t get a sharp image. I use a laser printer. Have a had time removing all the paper. Am I using too much mod podge? Oulines of the paper show up and the whole thing looks cloudy. I love this tecnique and I keep trying but result is not good. Does the fact that I don't use your recipe for chalk paint make a difference?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

This process does take a little bit of practice a couple tips you want to make sure you’re using the cheapest computer paper you can find so you don’t have a lot of paper that you need to rub off and do not put them on Podge onto thick if you were seeing an outline it probably means you’re using too much keep trying

[@crosleyconlon8804]

I'll just curious have you ever done any of the decoupage transfers in a different color than black black ink

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I only have a black ink laser jet printer but if you have a color one it will certainly work

[@kellireed2215]

Does the modge podge graphic transfer you do only work with a laser jet printer or can it be done with an ink jet as well? Thanks!

Hi, Will the Mod Podge method work on a piece of wood if I do my graphics on a sublimation printer? thanks, Vicky

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I have never used a sublimation printer before so Im unsure

[@elizabethhamilton1448]

I’ve been inspired and have tried chalk painting frames. My problem is that when I go to seal it with a poly, the chalk paint moves around and distresses more. What am I doing wrong?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Hmmmm! I have never had that happen so I am unsure? What painting technique were you doing?

[@karenfal8448]

Why is there a greyish shadow around the graphic? Is it from the glue?

Sometimes you will see a bit of mod podge on coloured wood
