[@debiv7834]

These are great! Love them! I love you two together. So fun! I loved your show on HGTV years ago, craft, cocktails, foods and so fun!❤❤

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

awwwww thanks so much! We had so much fun on Creative Juice! :)

[@jackyoung6387]

How is photo transfer better than regular mod podge? Thanks.

[@PhoebeLoveUK]

Greetings from the UK, I am watching this video at 04:40 12th May 2024 and It is really helpful. Thank-you

[@stinar37]

Thank you for this video!

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

No problem! I hope it was helpful! :)

[@talkrigdbdbfnht9011]

Can I do it on a jean jacket I got

[@LuckyDog-v3h]

Gosh I was going to take my canvas and have it done but now I can do it myself and do it right to the canvas and then do a modge podge and use a little bit of paint to give it a more hand done look❤

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

I love the idea of adding a little paint!

[@margieluna3966]

I love all this information that you'll gave us. Thank you Margie from San Antonio, Tx

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Thanks so much@! :)

[@AnnHester-o5l]

Back years ago, i did a copied photo transfer to painted wood using the regular mod podge and it did just fine. I didn’t know they had different types of mod podge. The item is holding up fine too.

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

I'm glad to hear that! This type is used for fabric too.... so many different formulas. :)

[@TracyG-n9h]

I am always on the lookout for something new for our residents to do and stumbled onto your channel today and became so inspired!! Thank you, and I can't wait to get started. There are so many Modge Podge products to choose from ❤

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Awesome! thanks so much! please don't hesitate to ask any project questions. I'm happy to help!

[@pattybrooks1561]

This is awesome and so simple. I can't wait to try this!

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@nancys2440]

Great video! I don't recall any other YT videos telling you to do more than one pass and letting it dry between passes. I did one of my granddaughter on canvas and it still had paper on it (I quit rubbing it because it was starting to rub completely off). I threw it away not knowing that I could have done another pass. I'll try it again, using your instructions. Thanks!!!

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

yes - I like to let it dry for an hour or so and then repeat till all the paper is gone.

[@BeadingBee62]

I have a calendar that I want to use. I have no idea how it was printed. What should I do? Thx so much; I have soooo many fun ideas in my head now. You guys are THE BEST!!! ❤

[@labrown6212]

Thank you for this video 😊 I have been wanting to try this. ❤

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Thank you!

[@irmaguerrero4770]

First time viewer. Love this video. I will be trying pic on wood. Thank you for mentioning needing a laser print picture.

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Thanks so much!

[@Carol-l1f]

Definitely need to try this...thanks

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

It's so fun and I love how the results are. :)

[@lydiab1]

Thank you ! I couldn't find photo Mod Podge where we are. I'll try buying on line

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

its Mod Podge Photo Transfer. Michaels has it and plaidonline.com too! :)

[@ameliarodrigues9124]

That' was so much fun to watch,I love it

[@melbamoore5134]

Do you recommend putting a clear sealant for longevity?

[@gilca7139]

This is fantastic and so are you! Thank you!❤️🌹👍🤗👏👏👏👏

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Thanks so much!!

[@donnalangford862]

What do you all recommend to seal the canvas and or the wood..and if I did this on a t shirt how do I seal.it, as to prevent it coming off from washing...thanks for your time.

[@moseygirlcreations]

Great tutorial!!! Thank you!!

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Thanks so much! :)

[@nbmleed6047]

I’ve tried this on balsa wood and the photos have a cloudy haze as they dry. Do you have a tip to prevent this?

[@artisticthoughtsbyelena]

I love this idea, and will try and implement it into my art. As a mixed media artist, this is just one more technique that can enhance art. Thank you so much for your demonstration. I will order the Modge Lodge Photo Transfer glue soon. I am so excited about the possibilities. I hope to share them here on my channel in the near future. I will make mention of your product. Thanks....🥰

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

awesome and yes - it is great for mixed media!!!

[@MikeNewman-ss3kq]

Thank you! Transferring images onto ceramic tiles for coasters, does Mod Podge have a product to protect the image from heat?

[@fabandgoodvibes1589]

Hi. Love your channel. To laser print the image, does the image have to be an original image?

[@lindaking4149]

If doing a picture onto a canvas, do we use a photo print or does that photo also have to printed on a laser printer?

[@LisaSmith-x1m]

I would also love to hear the reply to your question. Getting ready to try a transfer and was wondering the same thing 🤔

[@monicascobino7122]

Can do it on canvas??

[@tamarajohnson8548]

Thank you for your help. My daughters' in-laws just scheduled a gender reveal party and I needed a quick special gift idea.

[@ellenconrad0514]

Great video, thank you! Question about photos from laser printer. Should I print out pics on photo sheets or copier paper from laser printer? I have a HP Laser Printer at home. I do not need to purchase transfer paper, correct?

[@shell51569]

If I wanted to repurpose a tray that had something on it I didn't like, can I just paint the background a solid color than photo transfer over top of the newly painted surface after the paint is fully dry of course? Then what would I need to do to seal it for using it to put food on top of? Also, how long do you think I would need to allow the paint to dry before being able to mod podge the photo down and not have the excessive rubbing bring the paint up? Hope this makes sense

[@whitneywilcox45]

Your guys are awesome to watch love all the info I’m probably wrong but over the months I’ve noticed some people have tried with success only having an inkjet printer available it shows we can spray it with a light coat of hairspray as soon as it’s done printing to seal all of the ink into the pictures before using into different transfer projects…Hope this helps👍

[@karenunderdahl8708]

Thank you it sure looks like fun!

[@melbamoore5134]

Can it be used on terry cloth, like a bath towel or the hand towel hanging on your stove?

[@samanthaevans8190]

Can you use regular mod podge like on a piece of wood and let it sit then do the removal with water? Does it HAVE to be photo tranfer? What’s the thing that photo transfer does vs regular matte/gloss mod podge?

[@nainagupta5100]

Wow fantastic u people are doing grt job Thnk you sooo much for this beautiful idea I can start my own business guys u r rocking 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌷🌺🌷👌👌👌

[@mbfree4505]

What if had decoupage the wood with pretty paper already but I wanted to personalize it with a photo. Is it the same procedure? Thank you for time!!!

[@corinanitakwapisz3029]

Can you put resin on top of the wood?

[@theresacoffeen8149]

Can you transfer it onto glass? Thankyou for your video.

[@melbamoore5134]

Would you sit something on top of the picture as it’s drying so not to buckle?

[@lookinchic1129]

I just discovered you now. Wow! Amazing!

[@mbfree4505]

Hi first timer and loving it! Can you use pictures that you already had printed at a store? Does it matter if they glossy or Matte? Tx

[@deborahgibson7814]

Linen or cotton/linen fabric , which accepts the midge podge photo transfer better?

[@sandrafarr4117]

Can this be done on colored poster board

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

I don't think it will work on poster board. For poster board I would color copy the photos and attach with matte Mod Podge.

[@Bertsncrafts]

Do you think I have to do the other copy of the puzzle Bank on the picture

[@liliacesena301]

Why did my photos once transfered to muslin fabric crease? Do I need to use a thicker cotton fabric?

[@xeniawalton6553]

I’m going todo a memory quilt with the pictures thank you

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

awesome idea!!

[@virginialane2407]

I have always wanted to do this thank you so much.

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

You are welcome! Thanks. :)

[@melbamoore5134]

Can it be used on the wood cutting board on your counter?

[@honeybee8820]

Can you do it on glass coffee cups or a windo

[@melbamoore5134]

Love this. Does this work on shoes? Canvas, vinyl or sneakers 👟?

[@graceparton6491]

Is there a special kind of paper you have to use.with the pictures

[@lourdesq394]

Thanks a lot, great explanation!

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Thanks so much!

[@belindadoler9148]

So does it make a mirror image? Ok….you answered this question too..I’m enjoying this

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Thanks so much! Yes mirror image for any photos that have writing. :)

[@berniejaylea]

If one wants to start printing on fabric (t-shirts, bags etc) would it be better to get a cricut? ( Considering one has to go buy a laser printer, should one just buy a cricuit instead? That way one would be able to not just print on fabric, but make other cool stuff with the cricuit. In short, would a Cricuit do what a laser printer would do in term of getting a picture on a t-shirt or bag?

[@yolandaedwards8642]

Can you epoxy the wood projects after mod podge

[@shehijm7597]

Hi can you photo transfer on to bamboo wood? Also can you paint the wood black and will the photo transfer show? Thanks

[@leattaleake8756]

Can you do the pictures on a quilt like for a memory quilt? everything I’ve seen for the memory quilts is printed on transfer papers and then it’s ironed on and it’s a lot of work. This looks easier.

[@dianejutras8228]

Are you using regular copy paper for your photo transfer

[@plcron]

For a quilt you don’t wash it before you make it. Does that make a difference?

[@sylviamontalvo5352]

I have black and white pictures, can I do the same on a canvas and will I be be able to color it after it's dried.

[@deborahramirez1138]

Kathy and Steve, I'm so sorry but i Can't remember the name of your tv show you had back in the 80's or was it the 90's?? I used to watch that everyday it was on🤗 Y'ALL had some really good ideas. I miss all the craft shows like that😪 Wish "they" would bring shows back like that. But Now i get to see and watch you here. I knew i recognized you two as soon as you started to talk👍😂 it's so nice to get to see you again! Thank you❤

[@user-goatlover]

If you wanted to do the Grand Canyon on a wide chain saw blade, how would you add multiple photos (such as a panaramic view)?

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Yes - you could also just do the regular Mod Podge with paper onto the saw. I did one years ago and it turned out pretty cool!

[@minniejones6851]

Thanks for sharing

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

:) Thanks!!

[@elsavandervyver1293]

Can you transfer on any type of fabric like denim etc

[@lmharden]

if I get a picture from online can.i put it on anything without transfer just put on the picture

[@LisaSmith-x1m]

I would also love to know the answer to your question. Ordered images from Amazon they are printed onto thick paper great quality paper. Not sure about transferring onto canvas though 🤔

[@melissatuttle2288]

Where did you get the paint brushes? I just love the design,there cute. Thank you

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

They have them on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Mod-Podge-10615-Piece-Handle/dp/B0714G7Q42?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

[@kwandrahoward2451]

Very nice projects 😊

[@tonyw4732]

Can you add Mod Podge to *DARK* fabrics? For example, were the shirts you are wearing made using Mod Podge?

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Yes you can......just make sure you are not using Mod Podge Photo Transfer. (not the transparent one)

[@sirrahinct471]

⁠@@HandmadeHappyHour, you said just make sure you are NOT using the Mod Podge Photo transfer (not the transparent) did you mean to make sure you ARE USING the Mod Podge Photo.? I was wondering if it could be done on darks so I was reading the comments to see if anyone asked this question. So there are there 2 different photo tranfer one reg and one transparent? Hoping you will see this and respond to clarify. Thank you

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Yes for dark fabrics you want to use the original formula and not the transparent one. The original one forms a film and it will cover whatever print or color is behind it. The transparent does the opposite. @@sirrahinct471

[@BarbieLockett-lk2lh]

Would this technique work trafering photes to paper.

[@Thfeyhvfdetyhbvcd]

Will it work on plexiglass? Could you make a photo panel for a ceiling light?

[@StevePeterson-w3z]

Do I need to use photo paper with my photos?

[@marythompsonbeavers6581]

If I get a toner printer, do I get a color toner if I want my picture to be in color

[@MariaRios-jc7px]

Did you put the Mod Podge first on the canvas and then put the Sand On top of the Mod Podge ?

[@deacondanrigel5106]

So I have tried this on a tee shirt 2x and white sticks to the tee shirt and will just remove the picture if I rub too much. I am photo transfer modpoge. So what can I do? I want to complete a project for Christmas but am very frustrated. The paper used for the photo is a laser and I have even increased the thickness of the paper but it does the same thing. Help! Thank you,

[@mayrak]

Hi can you use the photo transfer mod podge on water bottles that are metal or plastic?

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

I think that would be a bit tricky. It will work but I think using paper and Dishwasher Safe Mod Podge would work better. :)

[@donnamarie3885]

Can I do this photo transfer on a spray painted cube?

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Yes that should be fine!

[@donnamarie3885]

Thank you!

[@karenunderdahl8708]

Can you wash out brush with water?

[@AnnieMartinez-l7h]

Can you do it with the modge podge transfer

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Yes - that is the correct formula. :)

[@josiejackson8729]

Can you use a sublimation print?

[@TaraAkinsCLT]

This was awesome, thank you!!!!

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Thanks so much!

[@ritahavens996]

I followed your instructions to a "T" but after it dried for 24 hours, I noticed there were wrinkles down the middle of the collage photo. Not sure how this happened as I smoothed it out per your instructions using a brayer and there were no wrinkles when I left it for the evening. Is there a way to remove the wrinkle without damaging the photo?

[@kumudmangla4992]

Do we hv to varnish too after peeling off d paper frm d pic

[@louisewilson3773]

Hi hope you are still answering questions, I was so excited to try this right up to the point you said no ironing. I am a quilter and want to transfer/glue a picture of my parents to the center of a memory quilt for the family (8 quilt’s all together). Not sure I can get this into a quilt without ironing, is there a way of settling the pic so an iron will not destroy the pic?

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

That is a good question... sadly I don't think this will work with ironing. Have you tried Iron-on transfers? I think Avery makes some.... they are at Staples.

[@davekolbfleisch6653]

I've used a few techniques before. I had to paint my wood white if my photo had white in it as white doesn't transfer. Is that true with this process?

[@AliceLister-yr8ke]

Do you have to have the transfer mod podge?

[@catherinemitchem5170]

Can I use a EPSON 3830 printer for it ?

[@josiejackson8729]

Do you have to use the photo mod podge? I have regular mod podge

[@MaryOSBORN-w6y]

Can I put fabric down first then add a picture on top of the fabric

[@walteredwards6819]

Does the brush strokes show through?

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

nope

[@pilargemina1521]

hi can I mod podge picture from magazine,books on fabric

[@kathleenhamlin466]

What kind of paper do you use?

[@lb1049]

Same question, when I ordered from CVS they only do glossy prints

[@gaylehutchings8934]

Do you have to print the photo as a mirror image

[@melbamoore5134]

How hard are you pressing down to even the Modge Podge out??

[@debbieswan1213]

I Want to make a wall collage with removable vinyl wall paper as the base. Can I use regular Modge Podge or do I need the transfer one? Can I even do it to vinyl wallpaper? This will be my first attempt with Modge Podge.

[@jasonnheatherslaughter9906]

Can you get the photo printed at Walmart??

[@DarylLuginbuhl]

there's a mod podge dishwasher safe. is that ok to ues?

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Yes - but you don't need to seal these photo transfer projects! :) The Dishwasher safe one works for ceramics and glass.

[@CynthiaTrombley-jz9dh]

Would the image be as brilliant when transferred onto poly/cotton as 100% cotton? How must the image transfer on a t-shirt be washed?

[@StevePeterson-w3z]

Di I need to use photo paper with my photos?

[@ireneerobichaud9550]

Is the sponge a magic eraser?

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Yes. The dollar store version.

[@createtheremarkable]

Can you transfer an image onto leather?

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

I have done it on a small keychain and it worked. It was a hard leather. I’m not sure about soft leather.

[@loredanapietrini393]

can you do it on a marble type of surface? thank you

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

it would work....but for marble....I would use Furniture or hard coat Mod Podge and just use color copies of photos.

[@lorettakimbrel4029]

😊 thank you so much...this is so easy...😊

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Most welcome 😊

[@m2garcia1]

Can it be used as a base for sublimation?

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

I’m not sure…. I haven’t tried that technique.
