It was neat to stumble across this video. i used to go to your store a lot when I was a kid 28 years ago. im glad to see the store is still around.
I learned a tip watching a video about laying out stencils that I think might work well. If you have a sheet of shipping labels you can remove the labels and use the glossy side of the paper to print the image onto. The ink will not stick to the glossy paper and will transfer with minimal pressure and no need for the transfer glue. Once the ink is transferred just hit it with a clear poly spray and it's set. You can also use T-Shirt transfer sheets to print onto then use a hot iron with a towel laid over the plastic transfer sheet. The heat will set the ink into the wood as it releases from the transfer paper, the towel will keep it from over heating the transfer paper and no waiting. I know for fact the second one works as I've done it before. But the first tip sounded interesting to me because it required no heat and no transfer glue. And both to me work better than this option because you don't have to remove the paper with water. Also remember to revers your images when you print them other wise they'll be facing the wrong way like a mirror.
Wow, this is crazy! It looks like an oil painting! Awesome video, thanks for making it!
Kelly, I just want to tell you that you did a great job on your wood picture transfer. I'm so glad that I saw your video because I was asked to make a special wall plaque for someone. I was asked to make it because I'm very creative and work with many mediums and transferring pictures but never to wood. So I can see that it is very similar and your Tutorial made me feel at ease. TFS.
looks very nice with the rustic feeling. Great job
Love this project and the photo turned out great!
I work for a website/company that mainly prints pictures on to wood. We use two large flatbed printers to print directly on to the wood without using white ink. It comes out with a great result, albeit probably more expensive and probably takes the fun out of it, but looks great!
I don't know how I ended up here but I like what you did.
Cute picture. my daughter did this process with words on canvas, really cool.
Thank you so much for this useful inspiration. May God bless you.
Great tutorial I cannot wait to try.. you made it so clear and easy to understand. I have some barnwood and will sand where i will place picture !! thanks againg!!
Very nice Ms. Kelly!!
Thanks for sharing this. Will definitely be trying it.
that's so cool...I've got a few pics im going to do that with. thanks for the shair. ☺
I always wondered how this was done! TFS! Now, if I just have the right medium.....
Awesome Tutorial! Buying the ink soon! Cannot wait to try this since I love to age photos digitally this is a way to make a unique finished product. Thanks!
I found out that it is very important to moisten the paper on the backside first.
Wait for a minute to let it expand, and turn it over on a glass plate. Then apply the gel.
This way the paper will stay absolutely flat and won't wrinkle.
Great tip!
Thank you for posting this video. God bless.
I did this with my guitar fretboard today, worked awesome!
Hey Kelly, that was awesome 👏 I am going to do this for my special daughter with a photo of her beautiful granddaughters. Thank you so much for showing me this tutorial.
great job thank you for sharing this so much work to make a video please keep up the great work and sharing never mind the others that say how to do it better but dont bother taking time to show how god bless you i wish you the best in life
At 4:00 what about just a small rolling pin? And have you tried out Liquitex artists medium? I'm guessing that pine is better than say walnut because the wood grain is more "open" ? I really like the potential here... instead of ink, have you also tried shoe polish? Or would that be a bad idea? Sorry.. lots of questions... thanks for the demo and getting us started! A++
That was AWESOME...I LIKE!!!
this is awesome, I learned something today thanks, I will try this soon
i love when us viewers are possitive they dont have to share but so cool when they do
Amazing.
That is all - just...
Amazing :)
Very cool, thanks, and I like the image you used. So you don't have to put anything over the top of the image once finished, e.g. a spray sealant, varnish, Mod Podge or similar?
Thank you, you explained that very well.
This image transfer technique was originally shared by Steve Ramsey on his channel, Wood Working for Mere Mortals.
I've used white wood glue and the appear I have for transfer and it worked ! Just add water the day later and the paper will just peal off easy!
I Liked your video! Thank you!
This can also be done with Mod Podge, very easy and great results.
To make the image last, I would apply Krylon UV archival coat (spray) in matte, satin or gloss (your choice) once everything has dried thoroughly.
Great video top job 👍
Don't just let the project cure overnight. You want to apply pressure to it while it's curing. You want a piece of wood that's the same size or larger - lay it on top and weigh it down - either with clamps or a weight (like a brick). This is really what will give you the great transfer. Also, after you've rubbed off the paper finish it with a clear urethane (spray or brush-on) , several coats, which gives a "wet look" and brings out the detail in your transfer.
I got some of the paste on the top of the paper while smoothing it out with a credit card. Is this gonna be a problem?
I totally agree. I use a heavy hardcover book to weight the transferr done.
That's pretty dope!!!
Brilliant!
Hi, I wanna ask you, what kind of printing media does the photo printed? Also what kind or brand of the Glue used? nice and cool videos, thanks
Hi, I need help? Did you print off that picture yourself? And if I use liquitex gloss gel will that work?
This is so cool! I have one question tho... Does the wood have to be unfinished?
What did you use to seal the wood when finished transferring the photo? Thanks.
Yes, the picture was printed on regular white print paper on an inkjet printer. We have not used it with Liquitex Gloss Gel, so we cannot guarantee it will work, however, since it's a gel medium it might. We suggest doing a little test to see if it will work before trying your project.
sorry, what is exactly you put on the picture it is glue or paint? tnx from cancun :)
@BenFranklinCrafts - To Kelly:
Can a heavy gel be used in place of a medium? I have a heavy at home already.
A similar technique that is relatively simple is to take a used Avery label sheet with all the labels peeled off and print the image in mirror mode on the side the labels were on. Be careful not to smudge it as the ink will not be dry. place sheet on the wood being careful not to move it around too much and smear it. Once you've rubbed it to transfer the image, peel off of the label sheet. Once transferred to the wood, the ink will dry almost instantly. It can be sealed now.
Hello Maam can u plz tell me the woods name u used in this video would b really helpful .. Thank u
Yes. Place a thick coat onto the print side of the photo (that's printed on paper) and lay it (coat side down) onto the glass. Let it dry overnight and use a spray bottle to wet down the paper and gently use your fingers to wipe away the paper.
how well does this hold up? does it scratch or peel off ? I'm guessing the image inky attaches to the medium paste ?
What did you use to seal it once your picture was transfered? Did you use a poly finish, etc?
is the finished product waterproof as on a coaster or something that may get wet?
Thank you so much.
nice job
where I can get the Studio glue and how much is it, I am from Indonesia. Thank you for sharing
Can you use any type of gel medium? What is the name of the gel medium you use?
very nice
very retro looking
You can seal it with the gel medium or use a sealer, Mod Podge, etc.
je vais le faire dès ce week end . merci
We used Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi-Medium in Matte to do the photo transfer. We have not tried it with Mod Podge, so we suggest in testing a small area to see if that will work before moving forward with your project. Mod Podge now has a special Photo Transfer formula that you may want to look into if the regular Mod Podge formulas do not work.
I want to transfer a photo on an acrylic painted hardboard plate. Is it posible and do I have to use the same mathod.
And how imported is it that I "paint" the medium gel on both sides? So the paper and the surface?
Hope you have answer for me soon.
is it possible to use epoxy over it? I wanna use this method to make graphics on a longboard
Which paper you used and also the printer is it inkjet or laser jet printer
can I know the paper must print by inkjet printing?
how about digital printing?
or both of them also can work?
Hi! can I ask what paper did you use..? and can I print it in any printer or just in inkjet printer only? please answer me, b/c I want to try doing that..I want to give present to my mom..thankz
hi, would these transfers eventually fade over time?
If I would use Make Me Multi Coat as the gel medium would it work?
It's a gel medium called Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi-Medium in Matte. If you cannot find it, you can use any gel medium.
If you add glue to the entire image at once so the entire paper is equally moist throughout, you will not have problems with wrinkles when you put it on the wood.
The paper swells when wet, so it is not easy to get rid of wrinkles if not all the paper is wet.
What kind a glue u use?
that's really soo easy I like it :-)
Can you do this if you already sealed the wood with polyurathane?
where can I find this video that kelly made thank u
We haven't tried sealing it with epoxy but it should work. We suggest testing a small area before moving forward with your project.
what about printing quality and paper?
can you use anything instead of gel medium it is expensive?
Is this medium the same as modge podge?
how neat
Can the same be done on Kitchen tiles
What is the medium you used? And what mediums would work? Would mod podge work?
what best brand of printer to use to do this
Does it matter what kind of ink you use? Does it have to be a picture ink or is regular printer ink ok?
what kind of paper do you use? is it photo paper? I used it but I think it was too thick.
Per-fect 😊 I will mack it and if it good I will say to you thanx for telling us so much hope you mack more vedios
Mariam Gasser
can this be varnished kelly
are you using a regular paper or a photo paper?
waht kind of glue you use it?
do normal ink work?
does it matter what sort of timber you use for this? Can you just use pine?
Hi, MY dear lady wats that creme u use, HOW can i get it, i run a wood workshop in arusha Tanzania.
hi ms. kelly can i ask? what paper did you used ? is it a photo paper or just a bond paper ? i want to try this one. thank you
sweety laser photocopy paper works the best
Have not heard of it, but if it's a gel medium, it should work. If it's not a gel medium, we aren't sure of what the final result will be.
I'm just curious about the closed captioning.. is that done by a voice recognition software or something? I feel bad for anyone who needs to use the CC option.
Where do you get the Studio glue I cant seem to find it at your stores
We carry it in our Bonney Lake store.
DON'T FORGET TO MIRROR YOUR PHOTO BEFORE APPLYING IT TO THE WOOD.
+ed gosh what do you mean mirror the image? and how do i do that..thnx
well try to create a transfer with a text in the image. You will notice that text comes out as mirrored version. Therefore you need to mirror it. You can easily mirror your image online i.e. LunaPic com
thnx
can this be done on painted wood?
Dove lo posso trovare il gel medium studio ???
What is the gel name please
Nice
will a pencil sketch transfer this way as well?
can you use a colour photo printed on a laser printer too?
Sorry I have one more question. What exactly is that tool called that u used to get the wrinkles out?
you can just use a credit or gift card lol
hi is there anything else I can use. if I can't get the studio glue?
can someone answer this guy question i really want to know it to
go to a hobby store and ask for photo transfer glue. Tell them what you are doing, they usually understand
You can get photo transfer mod podge from craft stores like Micheals. Then get a sealer for it.
Modge Podge is a great product to use long before all these other so called fancy one's and I'll bet much much cheaper too!!
