I was able to transfer matter from paper to tape but was not able to transfer it back frm tape to paper
I learned this technique 40 years ago when I was in the military. There we pasted foil on topographic maps and removed the paper background. Then we could crumple up the maps and put them in our pockets or backpacks without the paper tearing at the creases when folded several times. As a result, the maps lasted at least half a year before we could then no longer use them. Paper maps we had to change every few weeks.
Thank you for your service! Stay Blessed! 😊❤
Thank you! Im going to have to try that with my kids.
Wow
❤ Yes, Thank you for your service and helpful information... This is the kind of information I want my kids to learn.. not how to turn on the house lights from miles away! LOL thank you again for sharing this with all of us...
Wow.... awesome
Sorry if someone has already suggested the following : If you don't like the glossy-ness of the resulting 'transfer' use a piece of fine grade sand paper over the image once you've adhered it to your chosen substrate.
Great tip!!
What a great idea🤓
@@flowerchild777 ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
I like to use 3m wetordry sandpaper 400 or 600 grit. It's actually designed to be used wet so water won't ruin it and you can use it over and over... plus you end up with a nice matte finish.
Llllflllllllll
I tried this on a whim the next morning after I watched this video. I used the image from a piece of junk mail and it actually worked! I showed how easy it was to my wife. She didn't act like she was impressed but I 'know' she'll try it because creating things to hang around the house is her thing!
Thanks for posting!
It’s addicting 😊
ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
That's exactly what my husband just said..lol..but he likes it as well
Used this technique in 1972 with contact paper. We cut the transparencies to the size of 35mm slide frames to create a slide show for a junior high school slideshow. Contact paper will work for transfers that are to large for packing tape. Thanks for the memories!
When I was a kid in the 70s, I had a slide projector kit that used exactly this method to produce slides. I used to bore my family to death with my nature and astronomy presentations from magazine pictures😂 I hadn't thought of using it for other crafts. Thanks!
What great memories thanks for watching glad you enjoyed
❤
Cheers for a comic story
That makes me wonder what you did for your career
If you want to make larger images you can always try using clear shelf contact paper/lining.
:)
Yes that will def work
ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
😍 thank you!
@@OurUpcycledLife Can this technique be used to decoupage a picture on a fabric chair?
@@casual454t1 I would rather suggest using the decoupage technique with printing out an image in reverse and ironing it onto your chair (Our Upcycled Life has a video about fabric transfer).
Oh my gosh, I’m going to decorate everything. Side note: Packing tape also works great for removing permanent marker from smooth surfaces especially off plastic.
I remember a while back when my friend doodled a drawing onto my arm. I liked it that much that I used clear packing tape to lift the drawing from my skin and stick it down on paper. Was able to keep that drawing for years instead of until it got washed off. Sticky tape is so versatile.
That's sweet
@@flowerchild777 Aww thank you :)
What a great way to preserve a memory!
@@OurUpcycledLife Totally! .. This idea was off the top of the head when I realized I needed to keep the doodle. It's been over 25 years now and I still have it in storage.
ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
Wow, that’s pretty neat! Back in the 70’s we did this same kind of transfer but instead of tape, we used varnish. Two coats of varnish, let it dry, then soak and peel. I put a wedding invitation on a decorative board as a wedding gift to a friend. Now packing tape so much easier. Thanks for the hack!
Great idea!
That's really interesting, what sort of varnish? I'd be curious to compare the results
Oh my gosh, this is brilliant. I've always wanted to do stuff like this but don't have the money for one of those cricut machines. Thank you for sharing this information with us because now my options are endless for things I can do and use this for.
You are so welcome! Glad this video was helpful! Thanks for watching Angelina
Me too!
ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
I remember my parents doing lots of crafts for sale at one of the many fairs our Church had when I was young - around the 1960’s! The transfer method used at that time was with clear contact paper- same idea and same outcome. Wonderful memories!
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed. Wonderful memories
That’s good to know -would be useful for larger applications.
So amazingly easy ! Thanks for the joy 🤩
What is contact paper , would you explain it please? I am a german bookbinder
@@katjakatjabo7022 Contact Paper is clear adhesive vinyl that comes on a roll that can be used as a shelf liner or to cover surfaces or books to protect them from moisture. Most types can be removed or repositioned (not permanently affixed).
Wow. I have never seen this method done by anyone else .
Seriously , you've given me another way to add what I see in my head, into my art expressions .
I am somewhat taken aback by the implications on how I can step up several areas of my various styles of arts and crafting. I am being generously rewarded every time I watch one of your videos .
THANK YOU !
Aww - thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed

What in the Harry Potter?! I swear you are a wizard lol This is amazing!
Really impressed with this trick! I did it with some coupons and it transferred the logos flawlessly. Thanks for sharing, and I'm glad the algorithms are expanding my woodworking video's to other makers.
so very, very easy and useful!! I work with summer camps, and this just might be the one idea I needed to rotate the projects a bit. I have this one client for 8 years, and although the very first kids I worked with are now instructors that work with me, he is always badgering me for more varied projects... that aren't more costly than the ones we already do. and as you all know, ornamental paper bits are very expensive... especially when working with 200 kids and more, a day!
thanks for sharing!!
Glad it was helpful!
This is one of the best diy ideas I've seen in a while. Thanks for the idea and anyone else who posted the same. What a great idea
I know what I am going to do with this. I have some of my favorite recipes tacked to the inside of my cupboard doors. When I build new cabinets, I will add the recipes directly onto the wood panels.
Deidre you never cease to amaze me in all these hacks you do ! Thanks for sharing .
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed Vonda

I love this idea! Finally, I can use things I already have to decorate glass jars when giving flowers to friends!
Great idea!!
ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
This is so cool. I make my own greeting cards and this is definitely something I’ll be trying. This is the first time I’ve seen this site and enjoyed how you demonstrated the different types of papers. I’ve subscribed and look forward to learning some new skills. Thank you for sharing. ☺️
Glad you enjoyed!
This is a technique that I love to use with glitter, and stencils as well, I am an all out fan for glitter, glitz, and glam!!!
Adhere the tape onto your stencil of choice, and sprinkle your choices of glitter. EASY PEASY!!!
I know a lot of people don't care for glitter, but I'm with you girl, I love it!
Off topic, but...
I love glitter too! Just yesterday I painted my toenails purple and sprinkled glitter on while the polish was still wet, then put on a clear topcoat.
I also like to add glitter to the bodies of dead beetles I find in the yard! or use those rubber or plastic insects they sell at hobby shops. I did a plastic tarantula & made a brooch. Again, use a clear nail polish top coat to seal or some spray poly-coat. Yeah OK it's weird but what the heck. I've got lots of free time!
PS
Thank you so much for this video, I need to make labels for my upcycled wooden rotating spice rack bottles that I store misc. hardware in now. Like: small nails, thumb tacks, studs & snaps etc.
Great tips! Thanks for sharing Adra

You can do something similar with pictures - take a good picture (B&W works really well), and make a photo copy onto regular copy paper. Take Modge Podge or white glue and glue the picture FACE DOWN onto a rustic board. Make sure you press it down really well so there's no bubbles. Once it dries, get a wet sponge and slowly, one part at a time, dampen the picture and rub away the paper. The image is left on the wood, but also you can see the wood come through.
As an artist, I had to see if this technique worked, and worked like a charm😊😆👍👌
GF, what a great idea!! I am always saving bits of quotes, and pictures. Perfect way to preserve them!!
@@stormdancer0 ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
@@stormdancer0 I absolutely LOVE this! Thanks so much for taking your time in addition to the video host, to quickly and easily enable us to elevate our artistic journeys to a whole new level! I've seen this technique and love it, but the few tutorials that I tried to figure it out from went way overboard, making it more complex than it needed to be. I feel like I can more easily do this now, and add some new dimension to my items for sale and that I give as gifts!
You're such a gem!
I NEVER knew this!!! How wonderful!
I did this technique quite a few years ago. It's so simple and fun.
I been wanting to make my own personal design for a patio window a kind of stain glass look and now I know exactly how I am going to do it without real expense and artistic talent. Thank you a million times over
Oh that sounds wonderful!! SO creative
This glass decoration sounds like a great idea!
Please make a video of how & final window!
ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
Neat idea I never considered
I learned how to do that in college back in the 1980s by laminating one side of a magazine page. But, I never thought of using packing tape. That is a great idea!
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks so much for watching.
That I am going to try. Thank you
I love this!! ❤️❤️ Had to try it right away - clear transfer tape for a vinyl cutter works as well, and will help you get a larger area if you need that. I tried that with a large portion of a page in one of those adult coloring books, and it works!!
Love your content, thank you!! ❤️
Oh yes!! Great tip! Thanks for watching
Good to know sunshine. Thanks. 🌞
ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
That was brilliant. Some of the people here already knew it. Some have other suggestions.
But many are learning about it for the first time. Brilliant.
Around 40 years ago we did this as an art project at school, we used clear Mac tac with the same results. We used a picture from a cal Andre after we rubbed the paper off the back the picture was cut up and applied to a bar of soap for a Xmas present for our parents.
So cool! The best hacks stick around :)
I've done this over 50yrs ago. I did not soak the tape in water, I lightly moistened the paper and used an ink eraser to remove it from the adhesive backed cellophane tape.
Hope to apply it to the soap? Thanks
Great Idea!!
Nothing like toxic ink on soap 👏🏻
These are fun. If you want the text or image on opposite side also, i.e., magazine, book page, etc. put packing tape on both sides, fold an edge down on both sides of packing tape so you can create a handle. Put in water, may take a little longer as water seeps from edges then you can gently pull each piece of packing tape put back in water a bit then rub paper off and you have both sides of text or printed magazine, etc.
Ohhhh!!! Great tip! ❤️ I am going to do that for book pages
@@OurUpcycledLife Don't you just love the comment section? 💖💖💖 Many are so smart
ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
WOW! This is amazing. I'll try this for my paper dollhouse project. Thank you!
OUTSTANDING
I do a similar thing with Mod Podge instead of sticky tape. You can buy large sheets of sticky clear plastic used to protect book covers, get it on a roll.
Do you know what the product you are speaking about is called?
Thank you soooo much. I am making an engraved glass top table for a huge nascar fan. I was able to use your technique to make almost a ghost image behind the engraving from underneath. It was a game changer. I love your down to earth style. Keep doing you!!!!!!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed and it was helpful
That sounds amazing! Wish I could see pictures of the finished project!
Thanks
Another tool for the tool-box. A great way to rescue print or text. Thanx, and stay well!

This is such a fun technique and yes so many possibilities with it thanks for watching
I love this!!! Best tip ever!
I can’t wait to try this!!
Here is a tip! Fold the end of your packing tape and other rolls of tape...so you can use it again with ease, so you don't have to find the ends and try to pick at it with your fingernails to pry it up to use it again.
This is amazing!!! Love how easy it looks
It is! Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed Debbie

SO much fun!!
ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
I have never thought of or heard about this technique and I think it's amazing, thank you!
I am a bit of a tape snob, though, and I would say that cheap packing tape is always a bad idea. Heavy Duty Packing tape just performs better in handle-ability, longevity, stickiness, flatness, (Anti-curling,) everything. I quit buying dollar store tape long ago, If you buy heavy duty at the big box hardware store, or online, it is usually not that expensive.
Great tips ! Thanks 😊
Maybe thick archival clear book binding tape would work great too, & be less harsh on the paper, since this tape is meant for paper/ books preservation
This is great. Thank you!
WOW!!!!!
Thanks for sharing!!
The technique works guys,I tried it like she said,put the packing tape on,scrape the taped item on good,then put it in warm water for 30 to to seconds,then scratch off the back of the image,and all done😀
Certainly does!! So fun! Thanks for watching Helen
Thanks Helen
I remember learning how to do this when I was in Elementary School, I'm 63 now, LOL. And I used the technique last week to transfer dinosaur pictures for my two nephews' Junk Journals since that is what they are into right now, (they are 6 & 7).
What a fun diy to do with kids

Wow! I learned something today. Thank you.
Thank you so much for tutorial. Excited to do this for gifts using personalized napkins of weddings, anniversary and photos! Business logos too. There are decals for equipment, machinery, appliances that are no longer in production. With a bit of google for a photo and then print, you could easily come up with a usable reproduction decal/sticker. WOO HOO. Curious if anyone has tried this method with a full sheet of laminate (paper). I think it would give you a larger option. While sticky like packing tape, the laminate page may not have the chemistry required to capture and hold the transfer.
Great ideas! I would think the laminate sheet would work!! I will need to look for some and give it a go

When you said transfers, I was thinking of the transfers that you burnish onto your background like this page. They have “furniture transfers” like that where it looks what created, but you take the transfer and apply it to the wood by rubbing the back firmly with a burnishing stick. This is cool though. Can you imagine how next level that would be? Plus , those kind of transfers are pricey.
Yes those transfers are very pricey! Thanks for watching Verena
ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
Marvellous and unbelievable technique
Glad this video was helpful! Thanks for watching
This is a great idea!!! Thanks for sharing.
This is a great idea. ❣️❣️ You mentioned you can use this to decoupage. I never decoupaged over a texture such as packing tape. I would think it would not adhere. Thanks for sharing. Always 😊 enjoy.
I would decoupage on the bottom of tape not top. Works great . Thanks for watching
ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
That is amazing! I am now really curious how the chemistry behind it actually works.
Me too! I actually have no idea but it certainly is cool :)
@@OurUpcycledLife In the 70s in an audio vusuals class we made transparencies using magazine pictures in a similar manner. The teacher explained that many magazines' pages are clay based and the clay dissolves when wet leaving the ink behind. Hope I remember correctly. It's been a few years.
ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
Oh sweety ... thank u for this tutorial. I can now proceed with making my soon 2 be hubby a ouija board glass table. Thank u so much
Amazing idea!
excellent transfer process, i have been struggeling with display flags on plastic model ships for 2 years, attempting to apply the flags and hull numbers the correct way that the directions say, but the flags and hull numbers are so tiny theyget damaged, torn, i may damage the ship upon applications of the flags and numbers to the point it frustrated me and i stopped building models... HOWEVER , after watching this your method might be the answer, i will let you know if and when i try, thanks so much for this tip
Oh this will def and work be so easy and affordable. Glad to inspire

This is brilliant. In the UK we have sticky back plastic. I'm sure you have it in the US, but possibly a different name. I reckon that you could do much larger ones with this.
Ohhh would love to find some :)
ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
Also UK, what tape would you suggest? I've not seen packing tape anywhere
@@tashb208 You can buy it in Wilco or order it from Viking (online)
Sticky back plastic is the same stuff that is called contact paper in the US.
White born blessed and GENIUS
Love this ill try it out
If u print with a laser printer on sticker paper backing (after stickers/labels are removed), u can press packing tape on it and just peel the image off the slick sticker backing paper (no water or scrubbing)…. And ur tape definitely stays sticky.
Great tips! Thanks
I actually knew about this years ago and had forgotten about it. Thanks for jogging my memory. I can't wait to see what I can do with these ideas of yours. I have one question....what exactly is a junk journal?
Glad you enjoyed! Junk journaling is putting pages together of altered art and using mix media to create little booklets or pages or diaries to journal in
It is the most creative, fun craft/art work. Check it out on you tube, there are many. Many tutorials...do your creative nature a favor and check it out....papers. Inks. Paints, stamps, cuts from magazines. Flowers, ribbons. Laces and more
A scrap book?
@@Essemm52 yes, but with diary entries maybe.
This is really something when you're already quite desperate on how to kill time
You go girl rocking that tape thing honey how clever
Wow! Great idea! 😍
I believe this may work best if one prints their design directly onto a page ripped out of a magazine instead of regular printer paper. At least, it does when transferring the toner directly to wood and metal by using a clothes iron to re-melt the toner and stick it to the wood or metal surface. The magazine paper is glossy/slippery and therefore the toner doesn't embed and adhere quite as well to it as it does to printer paper (which is designed to hold onto that toner for dear life 😸 since tax documents with numbers that fell or rubbed off are pretty useless). I think glossy photo paper is also good because it too is slippery and harder to stick the toner onto, but it's expensive. You can probably get an old magazine out of your neighborhood recycling bins within 5 minutes of looking. 😸 I've never used this trick (which is great BTW, thanks!) but I have done the "toner--->wood & metal with an iron" method both for making a wooden art display piece and for making a mask for etching a custom copper circuit board, and it works fantastically. :)
I have never done the iron on magazine trick! I'm going to give it a go! Thanks for the inspiration
I saw a video once of a woman Ironing a photo printed on regular paper I think but she ironed into the just dry top coat. But so many videos out there dont really have enough instructions to figure out exactly what they did like Diedre does here! I wait for her to try all things!
Good to know! I better subscribe!

@@brickhouse7401 I'd* better... 😊👍
Deidre, Would you please discuss when we should use polycyclic rather than modpodge for a reverse transfer.
It is basically just preference. The poly works better on raw wood. That is usually the only time i use the poly otherwise I use the mod podge.
ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
you are amazing. Thank you for sharing your ideas and not advertising products. This is what Yahoo was originally intended not to be used by some canning people to sell products that are not even their inventions or ideas. Thank you.
So glad you are enjoying my videos thanks for watching
My goodness. What a fantastic idea. Well done! 👍
Great idea and instructions. Does the tape regain some tack after drying or what do you use to apply the strips to a surface?
Some tapes will stay tacky and some dont . If needed you can use a glue stick or mod podge to apply to project
Esuperq1 she explained this in the video.
ua-cam.com/video/W94cwv4jOvM/v-deo.html
Would you leave a little more of the tape border if you wanted it to adhere to ceramic or glass? A photo on a glass candle holder would be beautiful!
It works best on a chalk painted surface. It doesn't work well on plain glass
Ive seen people do it with a a larger piece of tape like labeling spice jars but the video I saw wasnt too informative. Just music. So I dont know if they reglued the packing tape.

I've seen this method on a craft show. They were selling A4 sheets of the sticky so you could do bigger projects. However the transfer sheets were a premium cost. Thank for this hack. It's great and so cheap. ❤️
Your welcome
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT ! Thank you ❤
You are so welcome!
I like the process but I didn’t see the final product. I saw the tape being payed out on the coffee stained paper but what happens at the end? Your pieces were laying loose. Would love to see the final project.
You can incorporate into many projects! I will put something together and do a video :)
I'm going to used mat or gloss gel from an art supplies store to attach them. Pricey stuff so wait for a sale!
@OurUpcycledLife I think it's a great method when you don't have a Cricket machine... that black chair back you found at the dump was a good example of how this could be used IMO.
I recently did a collage using packing tape transfers. My magazine pictures were printed using an ink-jet (?) printer. They were in black and white so I painted the surface before putting the transfers on. Also, I trimmed the transfers.
Do you do that? I liked you used the package tape on different types of paper to make transfers.
Haven't tried that! Will give it a go
Update using a laser jet printer is better for copies because colors won't bleed.
