Today I'm sharing a fun, as well as fairly simple, photograph transfer projection alongside you. I've done a diversity of dissimilar ways of transferring images onto wood, stuff as well as drinking glass as well as fifty-fifty polaroid transfers, as well as innovation to shipping service to a greater extent than inwards the future. For this projection I had an sometime bench that needed funktifying....
I started alongside a roughed upwards vintage bench. After stripping it as well as sanding it down, I set i coat of primer on it. Once it dried, I painted ii coats of a pale grayness (Universal Grey past times Behr).
I chose an image, as well as hence cropped as well as sized it to endure alongside the bench. I as well as hence printed it inwards opposite (as a mirror image), hence that i time applied it would read correctly.
Working quickly, I applied a layer of Liquitex Medium Gloss Gel on to the bench, as well as hence applied a coat to the forepart the icon as well as placed it aspect upwards downward on the bench. I smoothed out the bubbles, as well as hence 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 inwards 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 as well as allow it soak through a little, earlier rubbing it off. This procedure took almost an hour. Once dry, I took a fine slice of sand newspaper to it, having taken all the newspaper off, to oil it upwards a fleck every bit well.

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