Wow, I never would have even tried the glue method. I appreciate that you boldly try new methods and share them. All the prints were beautiful. The content of your art has such a beautiful atmosphere to it.
WOW...what a great demonstration. I have just discovered you, and I'm so glad I did. THESE are the things that are so valuable to learn...especially for those of us who can't always afford the pricey 'solutions'. I've always believed, that all the new products that come out, are no different than what's already out there...but a new name allows them to become a pricier product. Thank-you EVER so much for doing the footwork.
Nitsa, I have been a transfer addict for so many years, so I am beyond over the moon top have found you!! Especially since you encourage both Inkjet and Laser Prints. You always have terrific ideas! Thank you so much.
Thank you for showing the three. I have never done this but am doing a project for my granddaughters for Christmas and was going to buy mod podge. Now I know I can use Elmer’s glue. Thank you again!
Finally, a photo transfer that I can actually do without the muss and fuss! I wish I had seen this a long time ago! Thank you so much! I'm saving this tutorial for my next project. You did a great job! 🤩👍
When you brought out the PVA, I said to myself, "It's about time someone thought of that!" GO PVA! Thank you for providing such great research for us. May the new book go smoothly.

Hi Nitsa! I really enjoy watching your videos. You explain all in a simple way , with a pretty smile , a beautiful voice and an warm accent, which makes you sound very natural and friendly...... Well done! Keep it up! P.S. .......and a soft background sound , people lack the understanding that whatever music they enjoy , it is not to everybody's choice, different people enjoy different beats, however a silent background is the best.
Don't stop talking, we understand what you are saying. Thank you for testing the three glues. I just had a bad Mod Podge experience so I will try the Elmer's glue next time. Thanks
I bought your new book. I love it!! But I still love watching your video!! Keep going and dont worry about your English. I love it and it's so you!! Thanks so much sharing this technique!!!
That was interesting. I have never seen anyone apply PVC or the other products to just one side. That looks like a fun project. Thank you for inspiring this Homeschooling grandmother.
Hi, i've just tried using PVA with inkjet pic on a stone, Unfortunately it didn't work the image rubbed off. I am looking forward to trying again on a different surface. Thankyou enjoyed the video a lot.
Thank you for doing this video. I’ve been meaning to try pva glue for a while now. You’d be surprised that hardly anyone has tried using it. Considering a lot of people say Mod Podge is a watered down pva, not sure if that’s true though. All the best and success in writing your new book. Lots of love.
Great video!!! Did you have any issues of the wood grains cracking/splitting when water was applied? Is it best to seal the wood before transferring the image?
Not at all, never experienced such an issue. As far as sealing, I usually prefer to seal it all when the piece is ready (mainly because some transfer methods don't work as well over certain sealers, like glossy acrylic sealers).
Given that the base of both Mod Podge and Elmer's are primarily made of PVA, I would have actually expected this result. Since the Elmer's tends to be slightly watered down from most of the higher end PVAs used in book binding, and Mod Podge is thinner/runnier yet, this also meshes well with your results. (it should be noted that both Elmer's and Plaid add things to their PVA base to create a proprietary formula... It is generally those additives that can result in yellowing and other changes over time)
Interesting! I was searching, trying to find out if Mod Podge is a PVA glue but couldn't find a straight answer. So thank you so much for this informative comment 🙏🥰
Yup it is basically same and I’m glad to be reading this here online about time! Mod lodge as a brand is expensive here in Australia so I just water down pva as needed when I make things with paper and even now I’m using PVA with sequins for Xmas decos
Nice! I wondering if to buy Mod Podge, bcuz everybody seems to use it for all sorts of things. So I decided to see if there was a short video out here for differences & your video was short enough & very helpful! Bcuz I don't even know very much about glues & crafting... I just have always used school glue for everything most of my life when it comes to need glue outside of Crazy glue or Wood glue... And so thanks!😉
Shocked by the Elmer’s! I used to ( years ago) use mod Podge image transfer medium. I’m not sure if they make it anymore. Congratulations on the new book 👏🎊💕.
modge podge matte works better than gloss but super cool the pva which is more expensive worked so well. Never thought of elmers cheap and easy thank you
WAW😱 a new book, like the sound of that... good luck 🤞. Did some transfers before was always told to put glue on both sides but your method worked just fine and it saves glue 🤪 thx
True, and also spreading anything on the inkjet itself might smear the ink. Thank you Reni, I'm very excited about the new book, can't wait to see it published, but on the other hand enjoying the process so much! 🥰
It was fun to see the different results using the same photo with different types of glues. I want try using PVC glue on a photo transfer, the results looked great.
My guess is that it would yield pretty much the same results on most surfaces. I find that for glass transfer matte medium works the best. And you can seal it with a clear varnish or clear spray finish.
If you coat your laser printed picture with mod podge 3 times letting it dry in between each time then coat whatever with a layer then lay dried photo on top ink/3 layers mod podge side into new layer and yes has to dry overnight but it really comes out incredible. Never had luck with one layer on mod podge. But looks like original with 3 layers before the 1 layer you attach it with to canvas, wood, or whatever type surface then 2 layers on afterwards. Looks crisp and bright and as original. Also you have to use laser prints not inkjet or will smear, and seal with clear spray paint, I like gloss for best results. But glue is fine but if you add too much water to the paper backing it turns to mush and smears, where once mod podge is dry it won't get soluble again, and I can't seem to get off the backing without doing that with glue.
Wondering...when you said you use this process to make cards. So, do you just use the same process and put the photo on a card or piece of water color paper or what I would normally use to make a card. I'd love to see you demonstrate how you make a card. Thank you. this was my first time seeing your video and I enjoyed watching and will return. Judith
If you want to get buy some cheap school glue, wait until the the back to school season is over in the stores. They usually liquidate the stuff for super cheap at that time. The glue will last for years in sealed bottles.
Ty for sharing. Elmers "Glue All" is a PVA glue. Ive had good luck with it, and buy it by the gallon for mache projects. I dont use Elmers "School Glue" or Mod Podge. I wonder how PVA Elmers Glue All would stand up to your PVA glue?
I used Glue All in the past, and you're right, it's quite good. I didn't try it "against" Lineco PVA glue but my guess is that it will be pretty similar 👍 Thank you Georgia 🌼💛🧡
Other crafters have been using Mod Podge Matte instead of Mod Podge Gloss and reported a more successful transfer. Maybe that’s why the Mod Podge didn’t work as well.
Hello Nitsa!!! Thank you so much for your videos!! I have a question (didn't watch all the video :) ). Do you think I can use wax finish after transfering the photo on wood??? Thank you for your answer.
Basically, the difference is between a photo glued on top of the wood vs. a photo blended in onto the wood where you can see through to the wood grain behind the photo.
Hi Nitsa, Thank you for your super tutorials! I've just started experimenting with image transfers and while rubbing off the paper- [I used glue on canvas board], All the paper and the image came off!! What happened?! Did I not let it dry enough? Even though I left it for about 10 hours and it felt dry.
Same thing happened to me….did you ever find a solution for this? I just tried this as well…inkjet printer imagine and a small canvas with Elmer’s glue.
Love everything you do! I love decoupage and all your great info. You accent is wowza..lol Thanks
Haha thank you Bob 🥰

Just an FYI: Elmer's is actually PVA glue. PVA stands for polyvinyl acetate, which is a vinyl polymer and a type of thermoplastic.
I love it when you say mod podge
Given that the base of both Mod Podge and Elmer's are primarily made of PVA, I would have actually expected this result. Since the Elmer's tends to be slightly watered down from most of the higher end PVAs used in book binding, and Mod Podge is thinner/runnier yet, this also meshes well with your results.

@@NitsaCreativeStudio yep... Different manufacturers add different hardeners, stabilizers, etc but by volume, they are mostly Polyvinyl Acetate.

It can be painted with oil colours over it?

Does this work on paper too? Can i do this directly into my art journal?
Thank you for sharing. Very helpful

Yes and it's also more archival and seems like it won't yellow over to time.
Have you tried homemade wheat glue? Since PVA works, it should too, a Bookbinder's favorite.
Thank you for this video! Will this work for transfer to watercolour or cardstock paper too?
Yes, definitely! As long as the paper is sturdy enough to withstand the glue and water it should be fine! 👍
@@NitsaCreativeStudio Thank you!
Good to know which worked better. I have been wanting to try some of your techniques. Love that you put your bloopers at the end! :)
Wonderful! Thank you Patricia 🥰
Great video ! I’ve tried but either it leaves too much paper or the rubbing destroys the ink/picture. Any tips ? Thanks !
Once you apply the clear varnish the paper seem to disappear 👍
Could I use this transfere technique on polymerclay?
I haven't tried polimerclay yet so I'm not sure
Can you do this same comparison with glass please, and what can you use to seal the glass afterwards?
My guess is that it would yield pretty much the same results on most surfaces. I find that for glass transfer matte medium works the best. And you can seal it with a clear varnish or clear spray finish.
@@NitsaCreativeStudio thank you so very much!
Can use this glues transfer on fabric too ?
Could you use hairspray instead of varnish?
I am loving the bloopers part of your videos, just as much as the tutorial itself! You are so cool!
Yay, thank you Deb! 🌼💛
This image transfer is Wow! Thank you for the experiment. Would printer of Dye Sublimation also works in this tech?
I haven't yet to try sublimation so I'm not sure. Thank you 🌻🧡💛
Great lesson! Thank you very much. Will use Elmer's glue. Not expensive.
Exactly! Have fun Maria!🥰
Hello, can I use this method to transfer photos in a t-shirt too?
I know it's old school but does the Photogtaphy Book come in a hard copy?
I just love your personality 😊
Can't wait to try.... only have Elmer's and mod.... but.... wanna give it a try.
Even though the pva worked the best, the other two were just fine in my opinion
Loved this! Thank you for sharing. Elmers school glue, I’m going to try this
Have fun! 🥰
Can you use regular photo paper
I’m super thrilled for your upcoming book. I bought two books from you and they are my favorites.

Looks like she did a perfect job using an ink jet printer…and she never used paint… no smearing….
You're meaning picture side up, right? Rather then removing the backing? This would make sense too! :)

Basically, the difference is between a photo glued on top of the wood vs. a photo blended in onto the wood where you can see through to the wood grain behind the photo.
