Photo transfer is a technique to transfer an image (most often an actual photo print) on a canvas, wood, MDF or clay to create personalised gifts. Today I am sharing a home décor project created using pattern paper and photo transfer techniques.
Photo Transfer done by: Dr. Neha Sanwalka Rungta of Crafty Flirtations & Flowers crafted by Forum Shah of The Craft Studio
Supplies:
- Flat Back Canvas
- Papericious Incredible India Paper Pack
- Transfer mediums/glue such as: Gel Medium or Mod-Podge or Mod-Podge Photo Transfer Medium
- Handmade flowers or mulberry flowers for embellishment
- Ranger Distress Ink - Aged Mahogany & Vintage Photo
Steps to create:
- Clean the canvas with a piece of soft cloth to make sure that the canvas is free of any dust particle.
- Apply an even coat of Gel Medium or Mod-Podge on the canvas.
- Place your pattern paper, face down on the canvas and press it lightly with a cloth to remove any creases.
- Keep it aside to dry for 24 hours.
- Once dry, spray water on the image and light rub with fingers to peel of the paper to reveal a beautiful photo transferred project. (Tip: spray water on one part of the image and work on one part of the image at a time).
- Leave it aside to dry for a few hours. Distress (Colour) the edge with Distress Inks and embellish using handmade or mulberry flowers.
