@@ChristinaElizabeth15 I've already created my first image...how exciting! Quick question though, when printing onto the wax paper, do you print the image on the shiney/glossy side or the matte side? Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Kendra Garvais I always print on the glossy side. The Reynolds wax paper almost feels the same on both sides. If your using that brand then it should work fine on either side.

This is awesome. Especially for those of us that don't have cricket. Just a f/u for when you load the wax paper into printer. My paper sits at the bottom of printer. Any tips suggestions how I can get it under the rollers? I know that is a super specific question and not all printers are the same. ☺️

[@ChristinaElizabeth15]

Not really sure. I know that when I load the paper in to mine I press the rollers up so the paper slides in better. Are you able to press up on the rollers at all?

[@lyndaroberts8787]

You can also use double-sided tape at the top of a piece of printer paper to attach your wax paper. Then trim your waxed paper to fit printer paper. Print with the appropriate side up or down according to which side your printer prints on. My inkjet printer prints on the side facing UP. Carefully remove the printed wax paper from the printer paper without smudging it. Now you are ready to transfer the print to your wood piece. Smooth wood works best.

[@Cincyseller513]

What does pic monkey charge now? Is there still a free version? When you need two things the same, like the line, can you duplicate and paste? Lastly, if I use white ink will it be pretty muted with this technique?

[@GB-ps2ik]

I'm interested in trying something like this to make Christmas tree ornaments on wood slices with Vacation Bible School kids. So we would need a lot of these, printed in advance. I'm not sure the logistics will work. Does the transfer have to be used immediately, while it's wet? Does it ever dry if printed on waxed paper? If it has to be wet, I'm not sure we could print it on the spot; if it never dries, I'm not sure we could print it in advance and not have it ruined before we use it. Any thoughts?

[@ChristinaElizabeth15]

It’s been a while since I’ve done this method, but what I remember is it should be done right after printing.

[@melissareilly5483]

Hiya, thanks so much for the tutorial, is there a seal we can use after to help protect the image? X

How long does the ink last on the wood? And if you’re staining the wood is this done before or after.
