[@alexiscummings5256]

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 🙏

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Glad it was helpful!! If you just take your time it will work great Alexis

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!

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 !

[@succapics]

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.

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.

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 !!!!!!!!!!!
