I was able to transfer matter from paper to tape but was not able to transfer it back frm tape to paper

[@klausziel3392]

I learned this technique 40 years ago when I was in the military. There we pasted foil on topographic maps and removed the paper background. Then we could crumple up the maps and put them in our pockets or backpacks without the paper tearing at the creases when folded several times. As a result, the maps lasted at least half a year before we could then no longer use them. Paper maps we had to change every few weeks.

Sorry if someone has already suggested the following : If you don't like the glossy-ness of the resulting 'transfer' use a piece of fine grade sand paper over the image once you've adhered it to your chosen substrate.

I like to use 3m wetordry sandpaper 400 or 600 grit. It's actually designed to be used wet so water won't ruin it and you can use it over and over... plus you end up with a nice matte finish.

Used this technique in 1972 with contact paper. We cut the transparencies to the size of 35mm slide frames to create a slide show for a junior high school slideshow. Contact paper will work for transfers that are to large for packing tape. Thanks for the memories!

[@drzeus9449]

Wow, that’s pretty neat! Back in the 70’s we did this same kind of transfer but instead of tape, we used varnish. Two coats of varnish, let it dry, then soak and peel. I put a wedding invitation on a decorative board as a wedding gift to a friend. Now packing tape so much easier. Thanks for the hack!

[@mamacitabambi3558]

[@HisDearMissK]

Off topic, but... I love glitter too! Just yesterday I painted my toenails purple and sprinkled glitter on while the polish was still wet, then put on a clear topcoat. I also like to add glitter to the bodies of dead beetles I find in the yard! or use those rubber or plastic insects they sell at hobby shops. I did a plastic tarantula & made a brooch. Again, use a clear nail polish top coat to seal or some spray poly-coat. Yeah OK it's weird but what the heck. I've got lots of free time!

These are fun. If you want the text or image on opposite side also, i.e., magazine, book page, etc. put packing tape on both sides, fold an edge down on both sides of packing tape so you can create a handle. Put in water, may take a little longer as water seeps from edges then you can gently pull each piece of packing tape put back in water a bit then rub paper off and you have both sides of text or printed magazine, etc.

You can do something similar with pictures - take a good picture (B&W works really well), and make a photo copy onto regular copy paper. Take Modge Podge or white glue and glue the picture FACE DOWN onto a rustic board. Make sure you press it down really well so there's no bubbles. Once it dries, get a wet sponge and slowly, one part at a time, dampen the picture and rub away the paper. The image is left on the wood, but also you can see the wood come through.

I have never thought of or heard about this technique and I think it's amazing, thank you! I am a bit of a tape snob, though, and I would say that cheap packing tape is always a bad idea. Heavy Duty Packing tape just performs better in handle-ability, longevity, stickiness, flatness, (Anti-curling,) everything. I quit buying dollar store tape long ago, If you buy heavy duty at the big box hardware store, or online, it is usually not that expensive.

When you said transfers, I was thinking of the transfers that you burnish onto your background like this page. They have “furniture transfers” like that where it looks what created, but you take the transfer and apply it to the wood by rubbing the back firmly with a burnishing stick. This is cool though. Can you imagine how next level that would be? Plus , those kind of transfers are pricey.

Are you a goddess? A witch? I just picked up a old coffee table thinking to refurbish it and I fell down the DYI rabbit hole on tik toc and found you! Ive found some kid picture books that this works with. Everyone I know will be soo impressed with my Christmas presents! I'm your new biggest fan! I clearly need to purchase a laser jet ASAP.

The technique works guys,I tried it like she said,put the packing tape on,scrape the taped item on good,then put it in warm water for 30 to to seconds,then scratch off the back of the image,and all done😀

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Certainly does!! So fun! Thanks for watching Helen

Thanks Helen

This is a great idea. ❣️❣️ You mentioned you can use this to decoupage. I never decoupaged over a texture such as packing tape. I would think it would not adhere. Thanks for sharing. Always 😊 enjoy.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I would decoupage on the bottom of tape not top. Works great . Thanks for watching

I did this technique quite a few years ago. It's so simple and fun.

[@mannys9130]

I believe this may work best if one prints their design directly onto a page ripped out of a magazine instead of regular printer paper. At least, it does when transferring the toner directly to wood and metal by using a clothes iron to re-melt the toner and stick it to the wood or metal surface. The magazine paper is glossy/slippery and therefore the toner doesn't embed and adhere quite as well to it as it does to printer paper (which is designed to hold onto that toner for dear life 😸 since tax documents with numbers that fell or rubbed off are pretty useless). I think glossy photo paper is also good because it too is slippery and harder to stick the toner onto, but it's expensive. You can probably get an old magazine out of your neighborhood recycling bins within 5 minutes of looking. 😸 I've never used this trick (which is great BTW, thanks!) but I have done the "toner--->wood & metal with an iron" method both for making a wooden art display piece and for making a mask for etching a custom copper circuit board, and it works fantastically. :)

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I have never done the iron on magazine trick! I'm going to give it a go! Thanks for the inspiration

[@retroredo9850]

I saw a video once of a woman Ironing a photo printed on regular paper I think but she ironed into the just dry top coat. But so many videos out there dont really have enough instructions to figure out exactly what they did like Diedre does here! I wait for her to try all things!

excellent transfer process, i have been struggeling with display flags on plastic model ships for 2 years, attempting to apply the flags and hull numbers the correct way that the directions say, but the flags and hull numbers are so tiny theyget damaged, torn, i may damage the ship upon applications of the flags and numbers to the point it frustrated me and i stopped building models... HOWEVER , after watching this your method might be the answer, i will let you know if and when i try, thanks so much for this tip

@@OurUpcycledLife In the 70s in an audio vusuals class we made transparencies using magazine pictures in a similar manner. The teacher explained that many magazines' pages are clay based and the clay dissolves when wet leaving the ink behind. Hope I remember correctly. It's been a few years.

[@b.walker5955]

Thank you so much for tutorial. Excited to do this for gifts using personalized napkins of weddings, anniversary and photos! Business logos too. There are decals for equipment, machinery, appliances that are no longer in production. With a bit of google for a photo and then print, you could easily come up with a usable reproduction decal/sticker. WOO HOO. Curious if anyone has tried this method with a full sheet of laminate (paper). I think it would give you a larger option. While sticky like packing tape, the laminate page may not have the chemistry required to capture and hold the transfer.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Great ideas! I would think the laminate sheet would work!! I will need to look for some and give it a go

[@missvickie1975]

If u print with a laser printer on sticker paper backing (after stickers/labels are removed), u can press packing tape on it and just peel the image off the slick sticker backing paper (no water or scrubbing)…. And ur tape definitely stays sticky.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Great tips! Thanks

[@micheleohmer4117]

Would you leave a little more of the tape border if you wanted it to adhere to ceramic or glass? A photo on a glass candle holder would be beautiful!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

It works best on a chalk painted surface. It doesn't work well on plain glass

[@retroredo9850]

Ive seen people do it with a a larger piece of tape like labeling spice jars but the video I saw wasnt too informative. Just music. So I dont know if they reglued the packing tape.

Sticky back plastic is the same stuff that is called contact paper in the US.

I like the process but I didn’t see the final product. I saw the tape being payed out on the coffee stained paper but what happens at the end? Your pieces were laying loose. Would love to see the final project.

You can incorporate into many projects! I will put something together and do a video :)

Deidre, Would you please discuss when we should use polycyclic rather than modpodge for a reverse transfer.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

It is basically just preference. The poly works better on raw wood. That is usually the only time i use the poly otherwise I use the mod podge.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWqXlKqsac-CrK8

[@Esuper1]

Great idea and instructions. Does the tape regain some tack after drying or what do you use to apply the strips to a surface?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Some tapes will stay tacky and some dont . If needed you can use a glue stick or mod podge to apply to project

[@mayloo2137]

I recently did a collage using packing tape transfers. My magazine pictures were printed using an ink-jet (?) printer. They were in black and white so I painted the surface before putting the transfers on. Also, I trimmed the transfers. Do you do that? I liked you used the package tape on different types of paper to make transfers.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Haven't tried that! Will give it a go

[@mayloo2137]

Update using a laser jet printer is better for copies because colors won't bleed.
