How to transfer an image onto glass

- Many years ago, I shared • How To Transfer Images...
and then I started getting requests asking if this same method could be used to embellish the exterior of glass vases. What has been happening here at Astar's Place? Much research and a
load of development - and finally I can share what I discovered!
Method one:
The end result gives a very soft frosted effect, but its all a bit fiddly because you have to ‘flip’ the image when you photocopy, other wise it will transfer across the wrong way or back to front.
Once finished and to cover or hide any paper that might still be visually present, mist with several light coats of clear vanish and they simply disappear.
Method Two: decoupaging an image onto glass.
Tip - once the image has completely dried, hit the exterior surface with
a couple of fine misty coats of clear vanish.
Method three: clear adhesive label sheets.
I used 'Herma' brand sheets, but I'm sure there will be many. I am so happy with the results. The best part - if you get tired of the imagery, simply peel it off and repurpose - to re-theme the vase.
I discovered when photocopying image across on to either the gloss or matte clear adhesive sheets, it is IMPORTANT to let the printed paper DRY thoroughly - otherwise it will SMUDGE! To be on the safe side I left mine over night to dry.
Also, I found it was easier to hand feed each adhesive sheet into the photocopy machine.
One last thing - ensure that the surface being embellished is super super super clean and free of any dust or finger prints!

Oh, you have every right to love yourself for this. I am feeling it too. Wonderful job!
Just discovered this channel! Oh my goodness! What a wonderful lady you are!
I am so enjoying your videos. So many wonderful ideas and done with such enthusiasm!! ❤️
I see that you coordinated your outfit with the black and white theme. Nice!
It is so lovely and classic! Thank you for the demonstrations. I sometimes struggle with the differences between the materials and I’m still learning and relearning. Again, thank you.
You are the best…..greetings from Asheville, North Carolina
Did you make this frock especially for this project?! It matches perfectly! I can see where the frosted look would hide stems, but the clear transfer is more elegant to the eye! And no spraying with varnish necessary!!! You must’ve had fun going through your own archive on RUclips! You’ve shared a lot of projects with the world!!!
Hi Jesse, Happy New Year. It's nearly here, and I'm walking towards EXCITEMENT. Not only did I do a deep dive into the archives, I did the same with my wardrobe & was thrilled to reconnect with this old favourite - JUST WAITING for an airing. I love when that happens.
I'm pleased with all 3 vases, and with 2024 just around the corner, new botanicals to discover, each has its own unique role to play. Warm regards Astar
I always enjoy your videos and learn so much! The vases look great!
Beautiful creations! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas.
Love the look Astar. I would feel proud of myself if I figured it out as well.
Love it thank you for your research! Beautiful!
Love it… hunting on Amazon right now!
Thank you! And Happy New Year!
Just subscribed to your channel from the beaches of Delaware USA ❤
Fantastic! Love it!
I'm seriously pleased with myself. I have plans for new adventures with THE GREAT BOTANICAL JOURNEY & these vases are going to be fabulous display vessels. Happy New Year, Astar
Omg thank you so much
I’m from South East Missouri
AWESOME
How about color prints? Do you think it would work just as well?
Yes yes yes, it will. I've a couple all coloured up waiting in the wings, for new florals in the new year. Warm regards Astar
That's brilliant! One more question. . . Could you include the link and the product specifics in your "more" down below? I'm having a problem finding it online, but I've just started looking. LOL
How do I print the photo in color? What about putting words on glass, will it need to print differently?
Can I print out the directions? You talk fast for me.
Could you show the picture or give the link to the paper you used for the transfer please
Hi there, oops, I meant to provide that info! Sorry.
The producer of the decoupage paper is Tim Holtz. www.timholtz.com
The design I used is called 'botanical', but he also has others that are equally as beautiful. I hope this helps? Warm regards Astar
Can you put photos in color on glass?
Hello can you just put a iod transfer on glass. Do you need to use mod Podge are can you just rub it on.
Hi Gloria, yes you can, but you might need to use a fine sand paper to rough up the smooth glass surface. I've used IOD on frosted glass & found the sand paper an excellent solution. Warm regards Astar
Can you do color?
Yes yes yes and it works a treat. I have a tutorial coming soon which has flowers displayed using a coloured image. Regards Astar
