Thank u so much for posting this!!! All I ever hear people say when referring to mod podge photo transfers is that u absolutely cannot use ink jet photos because it just simply won’t work at all, or that the colors in the photo will just bleed into each other, another thing is people always say you have to use this insanely thick layer of mod podge on the photo in order to get it to transfer (they state the photo has to be covered with enough mod podge that u can’t see the photo anymore) and this video just proved all of that to be sooo false!!! And honestly this ink jet photo transfer came out BETTER than most laser print photo transfers that I’ve seen!!!! Way to go! Thank u for this 🙏

This was really neat and came out beautiful! I have never thought of trying it on wood. I have only done a photo transfer on a canvas first putting down Gesso. It was of my sister in law's mom with her 3 grandchildren sitting on a piano bench and on top of the piano was 2 brass deer. It came out very well which greatly surprised me. I left a boarder of white canvas around and with a rubber roller to replicate wood I used a light brown so it looked like it had a frame. I did this close to 15 years ago and it still looks pretty good and she hangs it away from a window so it will not fade. I do not think she realized it that the photo is backwards and I noticed that as soon as I rubbed the paper off. My Mom passed away a year ago next week and I am finding lovely photos of her as a child going back to when she was 3 years old. Of course they are all black and white but I would love to make a couple oval small wood plaques such as you have done. I think they would be very cool. I am off to work. My boss is away this week and I work just as hard as when he is there but, a less tense atmosphere it will be this week. I have not had a lunch hour for close to 3 months, I work and eat so hopefully I can enjoy my lunch hour and watch more of your videos. 🥰 Blessings, Rebekah

[@OurUpcycledLife]

What beautiful memories! This will be a perfect project for you !

[@AnnetasticStuff]

I’m so sorry to hear about you’re mothers passing. You know you can print those out in black-and-white and colorized them or scan them into your computer and use a simple program to change the color also. Blessings to you and all the people who loved your mom.

[@budgreen4563]

Thanks so much for this video. I have used the inkjet to plastic coated freezer paper for simple images on wood but your idea works much better! After the ink dries, I cut out the image with my scroll saw and sand, paint, and finish it for awesome projects to hang on the wall, make ornaments, etc

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Great idea!

[@maggiemay6997]

I just watched a video on how to use mod podge by another person. At the end of it I just felt disappointed and wondered if I'll even bother trying. She didn't even show the finished product, but looking at the nearly complete product I suspect that was because it was a disaster zone. Then I saw yours - thank you - that's exactly the result and helpful information I was looking for. I know who I'll be coming to for craft tips from now on.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Hello, I'm new to crafting and have had this idea of transferring drawings I have made by printing them from my inkjet and transferring to a canvas. I'm very glad i found this video first. I wanted to say thanks for all your tips on this project. I went out and got some chalk paint since it seems like an important step in the process. It's currently around noon here on Saturday a perfect time to try this project out! I'm excited to begin!

LaserJet heat sets the ink vs ink jet. I always iron the paper after paper prints and drys before the mod podge to heat set the ink and the colors will pop exactly the same as the laser print.

How Cool and helpful because I only have any an inkjet printer (that also is a cheap one) and I have printed a picture that I took of my garden, but I have to say my picture didn't come out as bright and nice as yours. It seemed to have some dark lines and isn't close to be out of ink. All the same I'm definitely going to try this. I loved your whole process from the chalk paint ( I haven't ever used chalk paint, I Know I Know, CRAZY RIGHT? LOL) to the water rubbing off the paper at the end. Too cool and looks like I'll be buying some chalk paint 🥰 Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!

[@ericvieira68]

I once read of a similar method to transfer laser prints of electronic circuits. One prints the mirrored black traces to a vinyl foil or an acetate foil. Then the print was transferred to the copper with an iron or a laminator. The black toner was resistant enough for the etching step. I was wondering if you tried to laser print on an acetate foil, and transferred with Mod Podge. The surface is smoother and maybe one would just need to peel off the acetate foil without having to rub off all the paper.

Yes you can do this technique on glass it just Hass to be painted with chalk paint and if you want it to be outside and have to seal it with an outdoor poly acrylic sealer but it’s probably best not to put glass outside as I don’t think it would stand up very well here is my chalk paint recipe for glasskzbin.info/www/bejne/mHjEmqKLf8xgpMU

I loved this..thank you for this great tutorial. One question did you prime the surface before using the chalk paint or did you do colours of chalk paint using the hite and black? Thanks pat

I only use chalk paint no need to prime this wood.

I’ve rubbed the transfer off and it wrecked it all. Would applying hairspray before adding the first coat of modge podge?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

No that would seal the graphics. Don’t use too much water
