Great to hold upward dorsum at ! Today I'm sharing a fun, together with fairly simple, photograph transfer projection amongst you. I've done a multifariousness of dissimilar ways of transferring images onto wood, cloth together with drinking glass together with fifty-fifty polaroid transfers, together with excogitation to ship to a greater extent than inward the future. For this projection I had an erstwhile bench that needed funktifying....
I started amongst a roughed upward vintage bench. After stripping it together with sanding it down, I seat i coat of primer on it. Once it dried, I painted ii coats of a pale grey (Universal Grey past times Behr).
I chose an image, together with thence cropped together with sized it to function amongst the bench. I together with thence printed it inward contrary (as a mirror image), thence that i time applied it would read correctly.
Working quickly, I applied a layer of Liquitex Medium Gloss Gel on to the bench, together with thence applied a coat to the forepart the icon together with placed it confront downwardly on the bench. I smoothed out the bubbles, together with thence applied a coat of gel to the dorsum of the image. The bench dried over night.
Once the bench dried, I used a textured cloth, soaked inward warm water, to gently rub off the "back" of the icon (the paper). Starting at the corners, I sat the moisture cloth on the newspaper together with permit it soak through a little, earlier rubbing it off. This procedure took virtually an hour. Once dry, I took a fine slice of sand newspaper to it, having taken all the newspaper off, to fossil oil it upward a fighting every bit well.

The beauty of photograph transfer projects, are all the fiddling "cracks", "scratches" together with "imperfections". That's what I beloved virtually it (and why I took sand newspaper to it!). So what I'm proverb is, don't become mad if you lot can't larn every air bubble out, or you lot rub a slice of the icon off. Give it a whirl!
