- Опубликовано: 6 янв 2018
- When the gel medium is allowed to dry completely, this paper will provide a VERY clean transfer. In addition, I had no printer jam problems, as can sometimes happen with thin photo transfer paper.

FREQUENTLY-ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q. "Can I re-use the paper?" A. You can, as long as it's relatively straight and feedable for the printer.
Q. "What printer do you use?" A. I use an HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color.
Q. "Does this work on painted wood?" A. Yes! Just be sure the surface is dry and free of oils.
Q. "Does this work with inkjet?" A. For some people, it does. Results may not be sharp - there may be some bleeding of ink.
Q. "Can a protective finish be applied?" A. Absolutely! I prefer to use acrylic polyurethane.
Q. "My print is smearing / not sticking to the paper? What's wrong?" A. This can usually be fixed by adjusting your image brightness, which affects the toner density. Check out my "Fixing Photo Transfer Problems" video for instructions.

😂😂 so
Ups will send you free labels
I came for the craftin, I subscribed for the voiceover.
I sure appreciate that!
I absolutely agree!!! And a very complete tutorial it is, too!!! Thank you!
Awesome hack!
Thanks for being you.
True. Both for me. The bloke is a true master.
I always think of Bobby Bushay when watching this channel.
I get to feeling down about the internet, thinking it's all just a horrible reflection of the monsters we all are... but every once in a while I accidentally stumble on something wonderful like this. Bless you Crafsman. You made my day.
Very kind comment, sir. Thank you. I hope you continue to enjoy my videos!
@@TheCrafsMan Thank you for that. FYI, I have that Pallisades transfer paper arriving today via Etsy. I understand from the description that its very particular with regard to printer settings, other than that do you have any other tips about that brand specifically? Thanks in advance.
That's a profound point you make, Karlo.
Amen to that!
You've got Bob Ross levels of chill my friend.
God Bless!
This works for transferring to resin! Get a 1st layer down.. do the gel medium transfer(s).. wait 24 hours and get the next resin layer down. It’s amazing! I also make up colorful resin swatches on deli paper and then add them in here and there around the transfer -or in the 1st layers of resin or any of the layers. The deli paper cures invisible but the color looks as if it’s floating in between layers. Especially cool with transfers of steampunk gears keys clocks .. or whatever the art pieces are that time. Instead of buying all the pieces (gears,cogs, clocks, Roman numerals or whatever) we can print them out and transfer them like you demonstrated here.. and just buy 1 or 2 main things as the statement pops.
Crafsman.. sharing your knowledge is a gift to the world. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art! 💙💯👌
Hi cud u post a video about resin transfer techniques
When this video was released those labels cost $5 and some odd cents they are now priced at almost $11 all right you want to print onto the shiny side of the paper you will notice it's kind of messed up and the number one question I probably get asked is Craftsman does this work for internet this particular technique I'm going to show y'all is for LaserJet printer color or black and white I have a feeling that it might could work for this particular paper that it might could work however I have a strong feeling that it might be having tendency to bleed if you willing to experiment give it a try and let me know in the comments however but I know for a fact that it works for lazy so you want to find you a design printed on the shiny side and then you'll be ready to roll you want to apply the liquitex and an even film I like to do is I like to start out with a little bit probably more than as necessary and then work it in work it down do it work it down into a thin film but then under film The quick it is it'll try and the more clear that your payments will be disagree time to reflect on your day and think about how things have been going think of all the good things that I've been did in your life of all your blessings and all the things that you are thankful for this is when you can think about that take your friend in my case I've already got to cut it down to the right side and you want to care for it lay it down into position now what I would suggest is once you start to get it down don't move it too much or even at this stage it could already smudge the tone of particles so you want to be really careful and get away you want and then take your time and y'all know what you got to do about the Bubbles if I do you got to you I know you're necessary I know y'all serve a purpose but right now if y'all could do me just a little favor and just ease after the edges and y'all go hang out there in the atmosphere because we don't want we don't want no bubbles up in our house right now all right
A video please
TheCraftsMan, I don't know who you are. You just showed up on my YT feed. After watching this video, I must say, I'm so blessed to have stumbled upon you. You are an inspirational crafting treasure!
I found him today and I feel the same way! What a jewel amungst the general muck.
Truly a national treasure
Same here 😊😊😊
today is the first day I discovered the magic ;)
Agreed!!
Just put his channel on auto play & drifted off to sleep and had the most lucid dream of my life. There was lil air bubbles just chillin & hangin out while their children were chasin one another around with mailing labels & this lady was making cutting boards for everyone'. Was awesome
Mate you are a legend. You any relation to Crafsman 😎
I always said crafsman is ASMR for crafters
Thanks for introducing laughter to my today.
That is badass. Lol ~THC
😉
Dear Crafsman, I love you up to lumps. I'm a picture framer by trade and often we use self adhesive foam board to lay down posters and photos to make extra smooth. The release paper to protect the foamboard is often discarded. I think this may be a FREE source of glossy substrate to use for this process. Just ask a local framer if they use the self adhesive foamboard and if they could keep a few of the surface papers left over for you to try. I'd give it a go right now but my printer is busted.;) I reiterate, you are Ace-Pants.
True story. I saw this video years ago intending to do a project, didn't have to, didn't feel like it either. But now im back, because it's basically s,ogotp...and i bought the paper from Amazon. Then i quietly chastised myself, canceled the order, clicked the link in the description and ordered from there. Hope it still works, my friend. This video is still very appreciated 🙏
HEY!!!! Just a tip, but you make sure the printer is set to Heavy Glossy or Transparency Paper mode or it will smudge the ink inside the laser printer!!!
Thanks, David! I've used a variety of print modes but sometimes it takes adjusting the contrast and saturation to lower the toner density and get a clean print. But I'll pin your comment, in case it helps someone else! Thank you again!
@@TheCrafsMan thanks!
..."don't ask me how I know"! 😉
Hey David...got a quick question...my laser printer doesn’t have any of the options you suggested..any ideas? Just wasted about 20 sheets of paper :(
thanks man, saved me a headache.
I thoroughly enjoyed the part where you spoke about reflecting on your day and the many blessings in your life. You are a refreshment for the soul.
Glad that resonated with you, my friend. Thank you for watching!
As for me, I enjoyed the bubble banter.
In fact that made me suscribe if we are being completely honest.
MANTAMIS BURNS me too!!!
I think the question we all must ask is, “WHO DOESN’T love The Crafsman?”!
FYI: Wax paper works! Print on shiny side. No need to peel all those labels 😂 my first time doing your method several months ago, I followed along with you 😊
Regular wax paper?
Give them to your children - let them stick 'em on each other and do paints LOL!
Lee Brewer great video 👍
Dude what a world we could have if everyone had a personality and craft passion like you.
I really hate how time consuming it is to make a drawing on a piece of wood I'd like to carve. This is just awesome.
I can finally carve highly detailed pieces easily as I really find the drawing part to be the hardest one. Thanks!
if you arnt looking to have a detailed photo quality image then the acetone transfer method for laser prints would probably work for you, its quite a bit cheaper, faster and generally less involved
I've never enjoyed a craft video as much as this one. This is like bedtime stories with my favorite topic
The “Reflecting on your day while applying the medium “ makes this video all the more amazing 💯
I just did this to transfer an essay onto a stone tablet, worked out fantastic and I even used an inkjet printer. If you want to use inkjet it is plausible you just have to be very careful when smoothing out the bubbles.
It was a color picture or black ink?
Thanks for that information.
I used to do this (only to copy a stamp to regular paper) but very stupidly, with a plastic sheath I cut out, and it always got stuck in the printer so i taped it down to a normal, paper, worked kinda but this method seems much easier and with less paint-loss. Gonna have to buy some stickers or print labels..
Thank you for this, really convinces me to NOT buy a laser printer
@@a_aron4786 most inkjets (especially at the low-end) use soluble dies. In addition to problems from the surface tension of liquid ink (the droplets really don't want to lay flat on waxed paper), these are susceptible to bleeding and running, particularly on porous materials. The dies also fade under UV exposure.
Pigment-based inkjets exist, and shouldn't bleed or run, but you need to look for them specifically. Most budget color laser printers will do a better job for less.
"Now take the time to think about your day." TheCrafsMan is the Al Green of youtube commentary.
I want this man as my neighbor!!! Seems like the nicest chill guy ever
Your channel does something intangible and hard to describe. It's like you're Mr. Rogers with Bob Ross's voice, in a way that elevates the rural and opens up crafting to any gender/class/race/etc. I know Crafsman is at least 30% a "character," not completely you, but I feel like you make me comfortable with a dialect and a part of the country I wouldn't otherwise have exposure to. You remind me that we're all much closer than we think. :)
Wow. I appreciate your comment so much. It's people like you, and comments like this one, that help motivate me to keep putting out these little videos. I never would have guessed the outcome of doing this RUclips thing - and I was honestly apprehensive (knowing how negative people can be online) - but people like you make this worth it. Thank you!
Man, this boy is dope, for real. Makes me want to get my craft on. You feel me?
Brackinese I
I agree...I sometimes watch your videos over and over just cause your voice is soothing to the soul. I feel like you could be reading me a bed time story and the craft is the bonus!
I’ve been trying to find a way to describe him and his videos to friends. This hit the nail on the head!!
I wanted to thank you for simplifying for me how to add design to wood pieces. I ordered materials on Amazon as soon I finished watching your video. I'm a passionate crafter even though you wouldn't know that if you visited my home. That's because I give away everything, never sell a single item. My joy comes from being a blessing to others. Thank you for inspiring me. Now that my husband has retired he has joined me in some of the things I do. I found a whole new side to him I never knew existed and I'm enjoying the things we create together.
What a delightful comment! Thank you for watching, for your kind consideration, and for how y’all approach life and creativity! It’s inspiring!
You are the new and improved Bob Ross Sir! I tip my hat to you!!!!!!
“Gives the labels to your children and let them stick em on each other, and do paints”
LOL
Hey Crafsman, please seriously consider making audiobooks; while you wait for your work to dry or other, you could be recording an audiobook.
Youv got a special voice and God gave it to you for a reason.
Please think about this, it would be really great.
Look at it as helping humanity reclaim something we have lost-oneness.
Your voice is so rich and nostalgic.
Any ho, all the best and thanks.
Wow. I take that as a tremendous compliment. It's definitely encouraging to me. I'm working on something at the moment that people may be surprised by, but it's the most creative thing I've ever done, and allows me to use my voice. It's because of y'all commenting on these videos that I've even considered doing voice work. :)
@@TheCrafsMan I just read this using your voice.
Yes yes yes! He would be amazing as a voice actor!
@@TheCrafsMan wellll, CrafsMan, don't keep us in suspense any longer...are doing voice work? What kind? We love you CrafsMan! My hubby and I try doing the "CrafsMan" voice and then break out in laughter, we love you so much!! My hubby says I get close sometimes...yea, you know what I'm talking about....The CrafsMan...
The Bob Ross of steady craftin
Very, very kind of you. Thank you for checking it out!
Yes! I couldn't think of his name, but I used to watch him paint when I was little. Comparison is on point. Love it!
ASMRWhisperLight. OOOOH, so that’s what he’s trying to accomplish. Thought it sounded familiar.
ASMRWhisperLight. Or Mitch Hedburg (RIP)
Subscribed just cause I like how he talks and it's a good tip. I look forward to future videos to watch
I watched this video 3 various times. The 3rd time I did it right along with you Mr. Craftsman. As I reflected on my blessings I thought of my dear friend Rollin whom we had ‘adopted’ each other (not legally) he became my father and best friend, my sons grandpa. Every time he would get a haircut, he stopped and picked up the boys and they got haircuts and pizza afterwards. He made every school event and was there for every celebration or emergency. I was a single mom with no family around. I lost my mom when she was 49 years old due to cancer. My father lived many states away due to being a long haul truck driver, his parents died when he was 8 years old due to a cement truck accident. My grandmother on my mom’s side passed when I was in kindergarten also due to cancer. Rollin was my family…he always wanted grandkids but his daughter didn’t want kids. My middle son named his first born Rollin. My friend Rollin needed a double lung transplant and at a million dollars per long and waiting list and prescriptions that cost him more than his house payment, well at 76 years old he felt it was his time and that he lived a good life. His favorite saying was “How can I pray for you,with you?” He was a man of his word…he walked the talk. I am forever thankful for him…I miss hiking, going to the plant nurseries, the holidays and long hours on the phone talking about anything and just inspiring me to want that type of character instilled in myself and boys. I’m feeling blessed as I ponder on all the great times we had.
Back to our project Mr. Craftman; I used a very old mailing sheet that pulled off probably 50 labels, the surface wasn’t as shiny…not sure if it was due to old labels, or a different brand, which I used Avery and Varathane ultimate Polyurethane water based. The time I wrote the second paragraph in this message, it started to peel back on its own…I put a very thin layer and the can says “fastest dry time” I didn’t expect this since you stated 45 minutes, it took less than 10 minutes! I used a Brother Laser Jet Printer that was recently purchased.
Thank you Mr. Craftman, your definitely a blessing and you never know what someone else may be going through, and your kindness and teachings have blessed me. Thank you so much!
And I thought Bob Ross was gone. Dude you not only got a subscriber but a friend. Thanks for being you.
Craftsman, how about expanding your trade into narrating children's novels, short stories, and audio books? I'd buy one to hear you reading it.
He has a great ASMR voice
I would die if he read the Winnie the Pooh books.
Especially with everything that's going on right now
@@bellacapulet1933 I'll make sure to reccomend that title to him.
Such a great idea!!!
That was my first thought! Within seconds, I just loved his voice and thought children would love being read to by this man. ❤️
Bob Ross + the Ladies Man + the Waterboy gottogether in a laser jet printer ; were transferred via label backing onto wood to make The CrafsMan.
HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! Oh man... thank you for that. LOL!
Daaaamn that is the first thing i said
omg this is the most accurate comment ever 😂 love this guy's voice ❤ amazing
Bob Ross's brother from another mother! Craftsman YOU are the man! Thank you!
Dan Taylor
mitch headburg and bob ross
Great information, clearly shot/presented and THE BEST voice over on the whole internet! Great work Crafsman. I learned a great technique and feel infinitely more chill and creative!
This is great! I already have these labels for my etsy business, now I can keep the backs and use them for craft projects! Thanks, CrafsMan!
Isn't this the same thing people do with "Freezer Paper"? It looks and feels the same but way cheaper if I remember correctly.
Priceless. Tears in my eyes and the biggest grin ever I've experienced while watching an instructional video. I love you. Great content too.
Wow. That really warms my heart. Big-time. Thank you so much! It makes me feel like what I do has value. :)
you transcend the either as a well healed soul which understands refinement through suffering or so it feels to me. i will continue to revisit to partake this rare gift…and to dream of sharing of such creativity as yours.
That's deep, Estelle. Thank you.
Omg! I no longer wish to hear Morgan Freeman explain a movie to me now... get this guy to Hollywood
Oh mercy... you are too kind! Thank you for watching!
"Let's get this guy in front of a crowd!"
Agreed haha
zeroNone 😭😭😭
Yes, wonderful voice!
Hi. This video gave me a lot of good info. The material used is exactly what I used. In the beginning it was always a hit or miss. Craftsman I know this is an old video but I wanted to update the process you used with what worked for me. A J roller to spread the paste and after it dries before you peel it, squirt water on the paper with a spray water bottle until you see the print show up then peel away softly pulling parallel to the board and not up. Guaranteed good results at least for me every time I did it. Thanks for the video.
awesome!!
Thank you Mr craftsman
Profound words of wisdom.
Beautiful and Calming voice
Merry X-mas to you and
your family ....Stay Blessed.
Love from South Africa
🙏🏼🌟🖐️🌲♥️🇿🇦
I made use of this technique recently when found an old CD labeling kit in my cupboard. I took all the sticky paper off and ran the shiny paper through my laserjet. Once I had an image I was happy with I used an old electric travel clothes iron to 're-activate' the toner and transfer it to a aluminium (aluminum) plate I'd prepared earlier. I wasn't sure if it would work but it came out well. Once the image had transferred I used several coats of clear lacquer to fix and seal it to the plate. This video gave me the idea to try it, so thank you for the inspiration.
So glad to hear it!
I cannot express how much the narration style enhances the video. Love it. Love everything about it.
THANK YOU so very much! :D That means a lot to me. Your woodburning skills are impressive!
"Let your children stick them on each other and do paints" Fantastic.
The crafsman is a a crafty man,let me say,u a crafty man. You need a radio show!😊
Love that you give credit to everything even the source of the artwork you used, a lot of other channels don't bother with it
crafsman are you putting on a character in your vids or is your soul just that fly?
LOL my vote goes to the fly soul
It feels like Crafsman is THAT FLY!
Sounds like the CPR class teacher from Family Guy.
Nah, he's that Fly. He'll let slip with an increase in volume once in a while, but he's still Silk.
I feel like this man just crawled into my ear and started paying rent
Lol
bwahahahahahaha
Bwahahaha what imagination!
lol
Hilarious!
Am so glad I just happened upon this video! Thank you CraftsMan for your excellent crafting How-To instructions and inspiring attitude, it's a blessing to listen to you narrate, your voice is so calming and pleasant :)
Wow! I am blown away by 2 things. This video with this sweet voiced man and the fact that I use these labels all the time! I have the backs left over and just trash them! This is AMAZING!!
Dear CrafsMan, I stumbled across this video and I HAD to subscribe! Your voice and word usage make me so very happy. I cannot wait to check out your other videos! Thank you so much for making and posting this video.
:D :D :D So glad you stumbled across the video! Thank you for taking time to leave me positive feedback!
wendy me too!😍
wendy speed the video up to 2x and his voice is even better! I subscribed too!
wendy easily worded and easily learned. Agreed! To the point and smooth. Clearly explained👍
Same here! Wish you all the best❤🌸
You should do books on tape because I just enjoyed listening to your voice. Your gentle, kind and positive messages were also nice. Love the craft as well. I just subscribed to you.
That's super encouraging to me! Thank you for taking time out to comment!
@@TheCrafsMan I agree with rosset4music. I listen to audio books every evening. What's missing from some of the stories I listen to is YOUR voice. Do us listeners a favor and see if you can become a reader for Audible. I hope you can!
Your smooth, easy voice is comforting and real. We need more folks to embrace that Craftsman chill. Keep on keeping on
Dear Lord thank you so much for this man, his art, his voice and his humor!!! I'm dying over here!
You’re my new favorite person.
Super nice of you, Alicia! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hey crafsman, I realised It’s been to long since I reflected on my blessings. Going to do that today. Thanks.
I'm glad to hear that, my friend!
I reflect on my blessings frequently but always benefit from another reminder.
I have to admit, usually this accent grates on my ear (my hearing is pretty bad due to a head injury) But here, I could listen all day. It’s so smooth, if I get stressed I’m coming back just to listen to this voice; I don’t care what you’re talking about, your voice is too cool
Stumbled in your corner and glad I did. Your a natural at presenting and making your students learn and have fun learning at the same time.
Your a blessing to the community.
I subscribed after 2 minutes.
I don't even have a laser printer or plan on doing any transfers. Yet his voice made me watch the whole video. Make meditation videos!
:) That's very encouraging, Pamela!
Really good video, but I subscribed because of your voice. It is so soothing and peaceful. I will watch any video you make if you are speaking in it. *smile* Best wishes for much success and keep on YouTubing!
Lol me too !
Office depot
Yes I agree - one can go to FedEx or another alike store and have it printed
There is something quite delightful about laying in a darkened room (it’s night time here in the UK) and listening to the dulcet tones of this man’s voice with, I think, his Southern accent, explaining the finer points of image transfer. If there is a more appealing method of gaining craft tuition I have not found it yet. Thanks 😀
Wow. Mighty nice of you to say! And you're correct - I'm definitely Southern! :D Really happy you like my videos. I've enjoyed your comments this morning!
CrafsMan thank you for your information, teaching us techniques, and most of all, your encouragement. I hopped on RUclips to find out how to solder. I was brought to one of your videos, and 4 hours later……I’m still watching, learning and have a long list of ideas/inspirations of my own crafts I am planning.
Yes there are people who really do watch and enjoy these videos 👍
I love this channel so much. Calming, educational, hilarious, and so entertaining. Doesn’t get any better than that.
Somewhere, hopefully in heaven Bob Ross is smiling.
BRO MAYBE THIS IS BOB ROSS!!! #REINCARNATION
Was thinking the same thing.. Move over Bob Ross..
I'm honestly always impressed with your videos. I started following you with the silicone molding videos...then came plastic injection. Now I do both...
Looks like I going to learn this now too. Thank you for doing these videos, thank you for making them easy to follow I wish more folks could follow your lead.
I am a high school art teacher - my students are going to LOVE this!
WE MISSED YOU CRAFSMAN!!! Don’t ever go away!! Patreon yourself for the love of Pete!
I'm still here, my friend! Just takes me a little while to get the videos shot and uploaded. I've had a few people mention Patreon. May have to research that. Someone suggested Amazon Affiliates, and that's how I got started with that... so Patreon might be the next step. Thank you!
This is officially my favorite channel on RUclips now. That narration is perfection.
:) Thank you so much!
When I have had a bad day, I tune in for the sound of your voice and the soothing craft therapy
I have had my color laser printer in a box for 5 years, thinking I’d never use it again! Now I can’t wait to pull it out and get to craftin’.
Thanks Craftman! You’re my hero!💕
I have to say Craft man not only did I get an easier idea on how to transfer my art, instead of drawing by hand on to the wood and then painting it, I got an overwhelming sense of peace, God is with you, thank you
I LOVE that at the time of release this channel had 15k subscribers. In Oct of 2018 there are now 68k subs and 3700 comments on this video alone. a true testament to the appeal of the nature of this channel. I am NOT a crafter, but I am definitely going to be doing this out of respect to the creator. who knows? maybe I'll convert and in the process find some time to reflect on my day an' think about how things have been going . =)
Wow. This comment really speaks to me, right in the heart. Such a boost, reassuring that people do like what I put out there. I can’t thank you enough for taking time to write this. I appreciate you so much.
TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin your craftsmanship is not your greatest craft. You're an enchanter, just mesmerizing people all day. I hope your day was beautiful, and that wonderful things have been taking place in your life. Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us, Sir. We love it!
5 months after your comment and he is almost at 128,000 subscribers
I thoroughly enjoyed the commentary during the video. I really dig your vibe, CrafsMan! I'm going to share this because I enjoyed it so much. I hope you are wildly successful in whatever you do. THANK YOU!
Crafsman you sound like Bob Ross with a whole lotta soul.
The way you talk about gratitude, the way you talk to the undesired air bubbles, I can tell the Crafsman is on to something. Call it Christ, call it zen, call it peace, whatever, but he's on to something.
I'd love to hear more of your thoughts : )
Hey, A V! I appreciate you keepin' on watching my vids, and thank you for this thoughtful comment! :) I do love Jesus and try my best to pattern my life based on how He showed us, which was written down. So many people may have issues with religion, but I believe that it's hard to complain against what Jesus did - which was to show love and grace to people. That's my simple approach. :)
A V yes...I Agee fully! His energy is so refreshing
A V ...well said!
being polite to Air Bubbles is important!
Lol
We don’t want the bubbles up in our arts and crafts right now lol
that attitude reflects a pleasing attitude. thank you.
What an amazing soul you are!! ❤ I feel blessed to just listen to you talk.
Dude! You are all right! Faith in humanity restored! The world needs more people like you brother!
Calming voice.....audiobooks should be your next adventure. Well explained video, thank you for sharing. When we all count our blessings.....we should count you twice!
Aww, now that is TOO kind, Mrs. Laura! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
This dude's voice is so....... comforting. Almost hypnotic.
Wow. Thank you! So glad you enjoyed this.
I m not quite sure how i came across your video, but when u mention something about reflecting on blessings, i stared to cry...and then for some reason i felt urged to let you know that the lord looks upon you and there is something special about u....there are higher things of importance that you are meant for. God will be by your side always.....i just wanted u to know that....sorry abt the long comment!
Shannon, thank you so very much for this. I want you to know how grateful I am for your kind encouragement, and how seriously I take this. It is another reason I feel so blessed to *get* to be able to do this. So thankful. I pray you and your family have a happy and healthy 2023!
Thank you again, so much!
I haven’t checked in in a while and just want to remind you that you are the #1 Crafsman!
I did this in my #usmakerproject video and I used an inkjet printer and a sheet of address labels. You need to tweak your printer settings to either 'fine' or 'photo'. That gets more ink on the sheet and makes for a better transfer. Gives it a nice rustic look. Nice video. Thanks for sharing this particular technique.
Hey Chris! Thanks for mentioning that, because others have asked about inkJets! I appreciate the info!
Chris Parker i
Can you do this also with polycrylic or mod podge? How long does it have to dry and will this work on painted wood?? Thanks
I buy those labels because they are the exact size needed for the USPS Print n Ship postage. I keep a supply of the "if it fits it ships" boxes from the post office. They will even drop the boxes off for free at your home with your regular mail! Then when I want to ship something I use the USPS website to buy and print the shipping label. Then I can just drop it at the post office or even schedule a pickup. This is an amazing use for those backing sheets I've been throwing away!!! I could listen to you talk for HOURS! You should have a podcast where you read the daily news, it would make it far easier to deal with. LOL
That is such an ideal situation! I like when you can take something normally discarded and put it to good use! Thank you also for the very kind words, Andy!
Nice job Craftsman! The Bob Ross comments are quite appropriate. Keep up the good work. I have spent my life making things of all varieties and still am fascinated by this transfer process and your technique. Again, good job.
This is so GREAT!! Im an artist, and have done whole shows with the gel medium transfer method. I had no finger prints for a year! All that paper to rub off my big paintings....sure wish Id seen this lol! You are such a wonderful blessing Crafsman! So cool :o) Thanks for doing these videos. On this one you said you had 15,000 subscribers....youre up to 371k as of tonight when Im watching :o) SO happy for you! you're sowing some good seeds Crafsman! :o) Keep on craftin!
Like your voice over style
It reminds me of
Bob Ross meets Mitch Hedberg
Hey, Tyson! Thanks so much for the kind comment, and for watching one of my videos! :D
Tyson Judd what's the voice over style?
YES!!! Definitely Mitch Hedberg. LOVED HIM.
I want TheCrafsMan to say "An escalator is the only thing that can never break....it can only become stairs..."
A Little Wheiser,
RIP Mitch...I miss his comedy style :o(
I just love listening to your videos! You could be talking about watching paint try...but I'll listen.
Bob Ross, but for crafting!
Exactly!!
'Dry'? I agree. 👍
I love your personality in the way you talk. You are so relaxed. Very enjoyable watching you do this. Thank you for the tips
CrafsMan, you made my da. I was looking for advice for printing on wood, and what I got was so much more. I'm a new subscriber and looking forward to hearing more of you. You are a treasure, thank you for sharing!
After watching hours upon hours of your videos I finally have figured out what works best for me and am crafting away like a mad man! I am now printing using color laser and the paper that was suggested. I sold my first 3 pieces yesterday and I owe it all to you CrafsMan! THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING VIDEOS AND RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS!!! YOU ARE THE BEST :)
That is incredible! So glad to hear of your success. Keep at it! :D And thank you for the encouraging words - they mean a lot to me!
I started watching for the crafts, but I keep coming back for your voice! You have such a kind and gentle nature about you, thank you for the work that you do 💜
Love your comments throughout this!!! Seriously brightened up my day. Thank You & God Bless you!! ❤
If Joe Pera were to meet The CrafsMan in a Mister Roger's sorta fashion, that would be one of the most soothing magical DIYs ever.
You are so informative as well as entertaining! I think you need a podcast too, "All about Craftin"!
This reminds me of watching Bob Ross when I was younger. Nice and calm, perfect for lunch break stress relief. Thank you for the video!
Men you save my life! I'm just having a bad cold and I don't want to stay ages drawing and/or clearing up the paper.Thank you so much to you and your generous friend!
Amazing, I watched at least 30 other videos before this one, but this is smooth art, thank you and it's so easy on my brain and hands. I lost 3 layers of skin on my hands from scraping the mod podge on wood.
This is absolutely beautiful, your craftsmanship, kindness and encouragement has made my day.
Hello CrafsMan, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this video. I was making some finisher awards for our running club's 10k and this allowed me to put the race logo on some rough cut wood with the bark still on it for all the runners. Without the label paper, I would have been in an impossible spot to make them all. Got the exact labels you showed and they worked fantastic! I had to make 101 of them to be sure we hand enough and this method saved my sanity. I would put a picture on here if I could. Just wanted to say how helpful and critical this video was. You have become one of my new favorite channels and I watched nearly all of your videos I think. Thank You again!
Oh man, SO glad to hear this! Really happy for you having a successful run. It’s gotta be a great feeling! :D
I almost skipped your video! So glad I watched it! The transfer really works, easy and cheep! I used left over papers after stickers, results amazing! Thanks a lot!❤
You have 15,000 subs 4 years ago, and now you got over half a million... You deserve it, this is the first video of yours I've watched and it was so calm, and enjoyable to watch! Love from northern Ireland!
You are right! That changes everything! Absolutely beautiful. Congrats for the 15,000 subs. You’re awesome! We love you 💕
:D It really does! And thanks so much! Love y'all back!
USE THE PHOTOPAPER MENTIONED ABOVE!!!!
I didn't follow his recommendation, and tried different sticker paper backing, and ran into issues with smudging.
The kenco paper in his link is thicker than usual, and the toner prints excellently on it.
Thanks CrafsMan!
Glad to hear it worked, Mercury Man, and thanks for the feedback! Sorry you ran into issues with the other paper. Any issues I've run into so far have been remedied by adjusting the image a little.
Great to know. Thanks.
It works so well, the paper has doubled in price since this video was made :-)
The project is fantastic, but the voiceover and expression of thoughts is the real winner here.
