I just discovered your channel today and have to say thank you SO much for this tutorial! Just what I needed to know. 🙂

My email address is not being accepted. I tried this before and it never works!!😩

[@hollyhamel9258]

When painting the modpoge on to the wax side of the label paper does it matter if is matte or glossy?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

So glad you’re enjoying

[@SoloMickyB]

Am I missing something here, you've basically printed a picture onto a transparent sheet and placed it on a white wooden background, if you printed the photo/picture onto a white sheet of paper, cut it to size and stuck it to the board (of any colour) you would have the same result without the extra cost, work or mess, it's like your trying to re invent the wheel, I'm not trying to disrespect you, it just seems like you went around all the houses on the block just to get next door

[@hjeystrehgssjs]

absolutely, also not a transfer. You can get a reasonable inkjet transfer by using the carrier sheet and printing directly onto the shiny side, then pressing it down on to medium while ink is still wet.

[@sandyc9379]

I was like HUH? 🤔

[@caroleberreur9585]

I thought the same… maybe the effect is slightly different/more shiny, but nobody got time for that. 😅

[@Whisper_292]

For a full picture, absolutely right. But if you want text or something with a transparent backing, this would still be a good option. Worth trying out, at least.

[@JohnPeterson1950]

This makes no sense at all

4:20 What an absolutely awesome way to really mess up a laser printer! That mod podge will flake off, gumming up your machine and clogging your toner. Spend the ten bucks for transfer paper and save your $300 printer from disaster!

[@janicek9399]

This is great. I am wondering, could you reuse the carrier sheet? Thanks for sharing!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I bet you sure could! Make sure it is really clean before you use again I don't see why you couldn't if it is still really glossy. I will have to try that!! Great tip Janice

[@tonyacalhoun4040]

Could you also use wax paper?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I’m not sure if wax paper is glossy enough but worth a try

[@WhatTruthIs]

I don't get it? Why not just print a photo paper, and then put Modge podge on top of it?

[@calistastudio1651]

Thank you so much for sharing this method. After some experimenting I was able to make an important improvement. I use a plastic protective sheet as carrier. Not the thin ones with the hole on top where you have to slide in the paper from above, but the more THICKER ones that are already open on the side. They are a fraction bigger than letter format so if you cut them to size you will have 2 carriers. The big advantage is, that the plastic is thick (and has no paper backing) and it absolutely does not wrinkle when you put the Mod Podge on. (I used 3 brushed layers of Mod Podge) You can re-use the carrier after cleaning and it is still straight….. I have experimented with the Mod Podge also, done 1 batch with 50% Mod Podge and 50% transparent Elmer’s PVA school glue. I find 100% Mod Podge works excellent although the mix had a bit of better “flow”, almost no brush streaks, having said that, I stick with the Mod Podge, it’s 100% result against maybe a risk and (maybe) time and materials lost. The best part of your system is (I do mixed media collages), that I can position all the transfers on the canvas before to glue them on. Question: Do you have experience with storing these transfers for later use?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Great tips

[@hd45hunt]

I tried this today, but the mod podge seemed to not stick to the sticker sheet. Got lots of "fisheye" all over the sheet. I tried it with 3 sheets and they all did the same thing. Not sure what could be wrong. Do I need to "clean" the sheets with alcohol or something before applying the mod podge? Hoping someone can help with a remedy. Thanks for sharing the tips!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

The key is to make sure that you have the mod podge nice and smooth over the entire sheet before you print on it

[@toniquintana6965]

This is great! I only have an inkjet printer so I was sad watching all you can do on your laser printer. Can't wait to try this!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

That's exactly why I did this video because so many of my followers don't have the option of a laser jet and this works amazing!!

[@melissacarson9047]

Couldn’t you just frame the photo?

Can get overwhelming at times :) happy crafting

[@kelleyclarke6522]

It is a beautiful photo and an very interesting technique. However, in this tutorial you adhered it to a plain white background…so I’m curious as to why you wouldn’t just print your photo on printer paper??

[@rbrooks2007]

There is decal/transfer sheet available for inkjet printers. It's used by modellers who want to make bespoke decals for their plastic model kits. It can be purchased with white backing or transparent. What you do is to print using your inkjet, wait for the ink to dry then either paint clear varnish on or use a spray to seal it in then cut around the decal (transfer in Europe) then put into a saucer of luke warm water for a minute. For best results in printed images long term use sublimation dye ink as it's less affected by sunlight. Certain ordinary inkjet inks fade over time.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes water slide decals

[@SJones3677]

Thanks for this info! I'm going to order some! I wonder if the decal sheets, and/or modpodge prints, can be used within resin projects... I'll be experimenting :)

[@rbrooks2007]

@@SJones3677 It's a pleasure! There are various model kit manufacturers around the world who make resin model kits with decal/transfer sheets included. What some modellers do is that once the decal is in place on the resin model and has dried, they then spray or paint a thin layer of varnish over the whole area to seal the edges as an added bonus. All you need to do is to go through the same process.

[@patriciakirkpatrick7933]

So, many apologies upfront. I am not a troll person, and I like this. but, I am truly miffed as to why you would not just print the photo and put in a frame. Reason I found your video, I am trying to find a way to take a picture and transfer it to my mailbox. Specifically football team. I was going to make a stencil and airbrush, but then I thought, how bout a transfer. So any thoughts you have are appreciated! Thanks Dan

[@boggled007]

Tell me... am I missing something, but why didn't you just print the picture onto a piece of paper and put it into a frame under a piece of glass like any normal picture? This seems like an awful lot of fuss and bother to achieve same result.

[@dib3385]

I was just going to comment exactly the same lol!!

[@thomasmartin2743]

@@dib3385 Exactly! This isn't an image transfer. An image transfer is when you transfer a printed image directly onto another medium (wood, iron, glass, paper, etc) so that it is literally ingrained in the second item. This is gluing a picture onto another item, not transferring it.

[@sickoftheleftwingscum]

That's what I was thinking ! 😏👍

[@ducomaritiem7160]

That's what I thought,..... first. But it's an ideal way to transfer it to a transparent (and very thin) mod-podge layer that can be used as a transfer on shields of 28 mm wargame figures.... I certainly will try it. That thin mod-podge layer is flexible enough to convert to slightly curved surfaces.

[@crazycanca]

In my opinion the result is completely different!

[@chibimaddy]

I love this channel and the ideas. I watch the videos in the spirit of learning something that I can use in other ways. But I can't see this one. I'm trying. You have to put it on white and you need to put a layer of mod podge over it to protect it, so why not just print out the photo on a white sticker sheet and then put mod podge over it. Or just print it on white paper and decoupage it onto the surface. I KNOW I must be missing something here. Anyone, please help me so I can see. Anyhoo....thank you for another great video. I love them all that I watch. You seem like such a sweet person, I enjoy hanging out with you playing on my computer.

[@sarahcarpenter7270]

I print my picture from my ink jet , i laminate, trim, put in frame , then if house cause on fire and your picture gets covered with smoke, , get a warm clean cloth and wipe it off, I thought you was going to transfer onto clothing . What a let down . Even your everyday dust wipes right off. Plus the color in your picture it never fades.

[@chrisberry9016]

Not "Dissing" here, but I don't get it. Take a photo, print it on a clear medium that you had to make, and work a while to put it on a white background . Would this not have looked just as good if you printed it on white paper, even photo paper and put it in the frame? I came here thinking I could find a new technique to transfer to interesting stuff, and in reality, I could have just printed the picture and put it in the frame. What am I missing?

[@linda48223]

Im confused. Why aren't you just framing your picture? What does this do that the original can't?

[@SuperManning11]

I’m confused. If you are going to print the photo with your printer, why don’t you just print the photo and frame it? What is the purpose of doing a transfer? I feel like I’m missing a big part of this process.

[@PaulaJoW]

Why not just print the photo on photopaper and then frame it? Transfer usually means taking an image and imprinting it on something else i.e. fabric, wood, etc.

[@WatcherintheRye]

Not actually a transfer, same effect by printing onto one-per-sheet transparent labels and sticking the result onto the project (except that would be mucher cheaper and far less faff)

[@Somewhere-In-AZ]

I don’t get it. Except for all the extra effort, how is this different from printing a photo on photo paper and framing it? I guess if you want it to be wrinkled you can just wad it up.

[@mariannehobson6213]

Do you paint the surface before the transfer? Also, approximately how long did it take to completely dry before you printed the photo? Lastly, what paper choice did you use on the printer?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes, I painted it with your paint

[@phartharder]

So you printed a picture onto paper and glued it to a board.. and instead of glass you used a sealer.. basically you made a wooden poster.. you post title is a bit misleading. I am not knocking it just a bit of time wasted.. people have been gluing printed pictures to boards for years.

[@ifeyecouldpaint]

Why is it when everybody says they've got an easy cheap way to transfer images onto canvas or Woods from inkjet printer always find a way to make it incredibly expensive and laborious when you could just go out and buy waterslide transfer paper print on it and then transfer that to Woods

[@anitaclancy9662]

for me the easist way is water slide decal paper either clear for light colord bacgrounds or white for dark colord backgrounds scence we cant print white sometimes i mirror the image on clear and with a dip pen and white ink fill in were the the white would be seal it and wait till it dries and then dip in warm water and slide it onto the surface paper side facing up.

Yes that might work. I haven't tried it but it might be glossy enough. Worth a try. I have not done a muslin transfer so Im unsure

[@tonyacalhoun4040]

My only question is that when you do a graphic or a photo that doesn’t take up the entire surface of the wood should you cut the paper around the edges of the graphic or image? I find that the glue from the unused part of the paper tends to leave a discoloration against the white background. How do you prevent that?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes it will be just the colour of the mod podge. You could a black border around the graphic or image and cut around it and that would help eliminate that . Otherwise you would just have to size the exact size of the project

[@Oonagh72]

Could you do this on parchment paper? Just cut it to size? Also the gift tag thins is brilliant. It’s a great idea for using up scrap paper.

I was wondering if you can put a picture onto wood - specifically a stained piece of wood. I am trying to transfer a black and white photo of my grandfather in his WW1 uniform. I have other photos of other family members and I would like to have a wall of honor. I really want to create them onto wood - plywood, cedar, fur, aspen or maple distressed or stained wood. Is it possible?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes you sure can but you have to be mindful that when you put your picture on a piece of wood that isn’t painted a light colour your photo will probably not show up as well that’s why I always do mine on a white background so my picture will pop and you will see it better

[@traceyvargas2272]

I realize this is an older video so understand if you don't reply, but I'm having trouble with my printer feeding the paper. Is there a trick to this?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Some printers are sensitive to thick paper

[@BradGryphonn]

You may not see this comment and may have already made a video about my thought. However, I'll ask the question. Could this be glued to perspex or glass backing on a frame that might allow some hidden LED lights behind it to give the image a backlighting effect? Some images such as a sunset or afternoon beach scene might look pretty cool with some backlight through the translucent medium.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yep sure would work!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Both will work . It is just your preference

[@jrl9319]

You know what I thought I wonder if you could do this with like the backing from your vinyl..like after you lay your graphic down ect I wonder if that would work or the backing from your sticker paper?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes I think that would work probably really well you just cut it down to the size of a regular piece of paper and do the process on that

So excited to try this! I had some labels on hand, but when I try to paint mod podge on the slick side, it wont cover. It looks like swiss cheese. I'l let it dry and try to add another layer, but I dont think I'll get enough coverage.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes you need to let the first coat dry really well then add the second coat. If still not covered well enough you might need to add a third coat. Thanks for watching Suzie

[@anitaclancy9662]

This is happening to me too. I don’t know why it is separating and looks like Swiss Cheese. It is taking forever to dry. Most times it dries very quickly!!

[@witchywoman6607]

Can you do this with wax paper, I’m just thinking the shiny side hum maybe lmk what you think about this idea? Please and Thanks.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

No it won’t work well

[@emilyrife2389]

I love this instructional video! Thank you for your time in creating and posting. May I say that you sound a lot like Catherine O'Hara?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You are so welcome!

[@erikamier2537]

Can I do this with glass? If so, would I use a heat gun? All tips greatly appreciated! Thank you!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I have not done that so unsure

[@anitaclancy9662]

Hi! This does not work for me The mod podge does not stick to the shiny side It separates. I tried letting it dry and trying to put a second coat but the first coat lifted Can I use another type of carrier paper like maybe wax paper or parchment paper???? I have asked this question to you before but you never replied. It would be wonderful if it worked for me.. This is a mystery.....

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Hi Anita I’m not sure if another carrier she will work I have only used it with the label sheets and it works fine for me you have to make sure that you’re putting it on quite thick and smoothing it out really well. If you put it on too thin it will pull up and come off your sheet really easy and you have to make sure that it’s really dry in between each coat

Every laser print rated label paper i found has a perforated line. Need laser rated, or else it won't print right. Any suggestions? Full 8x11 sheets.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Hmm ! I am not sure I have never had any trouble with the sheets I have used. Thanks for watching

[@lwelch16]

Thank you for your video. I wonder if you could use parchment paper to do the same thing. Also I wonder if this could be used with dishwasher safe modge podge and do it like the sublimation the back of a cutting board to make it look like stained glass.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I’m on sure you would just have to experiment and see if it would work for you

Some things are self explanatory. I would never feel the need to educate some one not to put wet items in a printer. Common sense. I urge you to critique yourself in sharing the do's and don'ts. You just might fine a more direct approach as oppose of over teaching will shorten your videos. So this video could have been created in just 5 minutes. I understand if you feel the need to be chatty in your tutorials.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thank you for taking the time to watch my tutorial video and share your feedback. While I understand that some things may seem self-explanatory, it's important to remember that not everyone may have the same level of knowledge or experience. I believe in providing clear and thorough explanations in my tutorials so that everyone, regardless of their background, can learn and benefit from the information. Regarding the length of the video, I do strive to keep my tutorials as concise as possible while still providing enough detail to be helpful. However, some topics may require more explanation than others, and I want to ensure that my viewers have a full understanding of the subject matter. Again, thank you for your feedback, and I appreciate your suggestions
