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

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Thanks so much@! :)

[@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.

[@lookinchic1129]

I just discovered you now. Wow! Amazing!

Can I do it on a jean jacket I got

[@deenagleason1225]

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!

[@TaraAkinsCLT]

This was awesome, thank you!!!!

[@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....🥰

[@virginialane2407]

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

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

You are welcome! Thanks. :)

[@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👍

[@user-rb8jb5eq7m]

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. :)

[@malagienia1]

super Thankyou

[@lorettakimbrel4029]

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

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Most welcome 😊

[@pamferguson9670]

Great video thx

[@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. :)

[@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!!! ❤

[@karolannlatimer875]

Wow! Thank you

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

[@jackyoung6387]

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

[@lydiab1]

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

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

[@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❤

[@HeatherHunterJ]

Happy Mod Podge Day!!!!

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Thanks! Happy Crafting!

[@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.

[@harrietwoodard155]

Can you also do the fabric one for like a memory quilt like a picture block for quilt?

[@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?

[@xeniawalton6553]

First video on this looks pretty easy

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Thanks so much! and Yes it is easy....just make sure you remove the paper in 3 stages.

[@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.

[@Thfeyhvfdetyhbvcd]

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

[@liliacesena301]

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

[@josiejackson8729]

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

[@kumudmangla4992]

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

[@fayeking5889]

Happy Friday

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Thank you! Happy Friday to you!

[@nfartspace]

On witch paper we have to teke the paper, normal A4 Xerox paper or glossy paper?

[@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?

[@bethallen3484]

I'm about embark in my first Mod Podge project ever!!! I have a few questions. I have some photos I want to use that I had printed that's why I had them printed because that's what I wanted.😂 Please tell me it's possible to use them. I also want to put them on a peace of scrap wood. Is want I'm waiting and trying to do even possible? I sure hope so. This will be like a memorial will my 29 year-old son that was murdered in June of 2020. It's not just something new I'm trying to learn or just something to do to pass the time. Thanks for any and all tips and help. 😊

[@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.

[@elsavandervyver1293]

Can you transfer on any type of fabric like denim etc

[@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,

[@user-sh6hk9eu7r]

Do I need to use photo paper with my photos?

[@MariaRios-jc7px]

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

[@BarbieLockett-lk2lh]

Would this technique work trafering photes to paper.

[@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.

[@its_makokoro]

No se cae la transferencia de la tote bag si se mete a lavar?

[@corinanitakwapisz3029]

Can you put resin on top of the wood?

[@gaylehutchings8934]

Do you have to print the photo as a mirror image

[@marythompsonbeavers6581]

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

[@user-bm6ev6qx6h]

what kind of mod podge do i need for this project

[@shehijm7597]

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

[@josiejackson8729]

Can you use a sublimation print?

[@karenunderdahl8708]

Can you wash out brush with water?

[@pilargemina1521]

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

[@user-sh6hk9eu7r]

Di I need to use photo paper with my photos?

[@lookinchic1129]

Where do I get that mod podge?

[@noeliahernandez7655]

What kind of paper do you use?

[@plcron]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@catherinemitchem5170]

Can I use a EPSON 3830 printer for it ?

[@marianela111]

I don't know if anyone is going to read this a year later. But if anyone does 🙏 can you use modpod to photo transfer onto airdry clays? I've been thinking of doing this for a while. Any suggestions and advice Thank you.🌻

[@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 😊

[@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?

[@SmilingCamel-kt4nw]

I just tried doing mod pod from a picture onto wood let it dry for 24 hrs I did just what ya’ll did and my image rubbed off what did I do wrong did I not use enough med podge on picture

[@tracycusic1033]

Will it transfer to on a shell

[@user-qp6mh2jy9s]

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!

[@cicelysimmons5802]

Hi how are you doing I just subscribed to your iam watching your video right now you doing a great job

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Thanks so much!! 🌸🌸

[@cicelysimmons5802]

You're welcome

[@mariagutierrez5276]

Can you use ink jet printer

[@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?

[@user-wq7it9ud9h]

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??

[@violetbooker6622]

Do you have to mirror your pictures

[@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. :)

[@user-fq5vo4wv3g]

Hi! What do you use to seal an image on fabric when your photo is dry?

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

For Photo Transfer you will not need to seal it. the transfer works as the seal. That is if you use Mod Podge Photo Transfer Formula.

[@user-oe5ow9ok1o]

Can you photo transfer to a plastic cooler

[@josiejackson8729]

I can’t find the coupons?

[@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

[@helenm3133]

I read that to transfer to glass, it's best to use Mod Podge "Image" as opposed to Mod Podge "Photo". It says that "photo" is just for wood, canas, terra cotta, metal and fabric. "Image" is all that plus glass, but cannot be used on fabric.

[@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?

[@debbieforeman3685]

Can you do it on glass

[@teradianne8273]

Can regular photo paper be used with a glossy finish ?

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

it works best with regular copy paper. Photo paper and glossy papers don't really work.

[@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.

[@user-lw8kh8ry3v]

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

[@user-wq7it9ud9h]

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 🤔

[@m2garcia1]

Can it be used as a base for sublimation?

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

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

[@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.

[@bubweeleer2997]

I want to add a photo to my white subway tile in my kitchen

[@adinigel]

Plenty of videos out there showing how to do this with an inkjet printer!

[@donnamarie3885]

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

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Yes that should be fine!

[@donnamarie3885]

Thank you!

[@pathwayyy]

Where do you get your bags for the transfer

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

I got them from Hobby Lobby.... but all the craft stores have them and Amazon too. :)

[@Beautifultravler]

Can you do glass

[@marysawyer4041]

I’m liking this and at 69 yrs old I have 4 month old Grand Baby Girl . I’d like to do something Memorable and Special . This excites me . I was thinking of glass or metal buckets Sophie can have Forever to remember me by . I’m new to this for sure .

[@user-qo6kr9qc7i]

Can you do it with the modge podge transfer

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

Yes - that is the correct formula. :)

[@ravenld560]

Do u flip the image upside down or up

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

upside down... th images goes towards the fabric.

[@andalsathvikamaddali9631]

Is that photocopy is just normal paper or any other one

[@HandmadeHappyHour]

normal paper on a laser printer or what is cal a toner copier.
