As someone that crafts enough to want a Cricut but doesn’t craft enough to justify paying for the Cricut price tag, this is going to give me the look I want on a budget. thank you!

Thank u so much for posting this!!! All I ever hear people say when referring to mod podge photo transfers is that u absolutely cannot use ink jet photos because it just simply won’t work at all, or that the colors in the photo will just bleed into each other, another thing is people always say you have to use this insanely thick layer of mod podge on the photo in order to get it to transfer (they state the photo has to be covered with enough mod podge that u can’t see the photo anymore) and this video just proved all of that to be sooo false!!! And honestly this ink jet photo transfer came out BETTER than most laser print photo transfers that I’ve seen!!!! Way to go! Thank u for this 🙏
You are an angel and just saved my sanity. I'm on a fixed income so I was looking for used on FB. I'm not tech savvy and they all said laserjet but weren't. God bless you !
This was really neat and came out beautiful! I have never thought of trying it on wood. I have only done a photo transfer on a canvas first putting down Gesso. It was of my sister in law's mom with her 3 grandchildren sitting on a piano bench and on top of the piano was 2 brass deer. It came out very well which greatly surprised me. I left a boarder of white canvas around and with a rubber roller to replicate wood I used a light brown so it looked like it had a frame. I did this close to 15 years ago and it still looks pretty good and she hangs it away from a window so it will not fade. I do not think she realized it that the photo is backwards and I noticed that as soon as I rubbed the paper off. My Mom passed away a year ago next week and I am finding lovely photos of her as a child going back to when she was 3 years old. Of course they are all black and white but I would love to make a couple oval small wood plaques such as you have done. I think they would be very cool. I am off to work. My boss is away this week and I work just as hard as when he is there but, a less tense atmosphere it will be this week. I have not had a lunch hour for close to 3 months, I work and eat so hopefully I can enjoy my lunch hour and watch more of your videos. 🥰 Blessings, Rebekah
I’m so sorry to hear about you’re mothers passing. You know you can print those out in black-and-white and colorized them or scan them into your computer and use a simple program to change the color also. Blessings to you and all the people who loved your mom.
I keep expecting to find a "make your own modge podge" video...you've knocked it out of the park with all your other "make it yourself" videos. This one is great!
Thanks so much for this video. I have used the inkjet to plastic coated freezer paper for simple images on wood but your idea works much better! After the ink dries, I cut out the image with my scroll saw and sand, paint, and finish it for awesome projects to hang on the wall, make ornaments, etc
Hello, I'm new to crafting and have had this idea of transferring drawings I have made by printing them from my inkjet and transferring to a canvas. I'm very glad i found this video first. I wanted to say thanks for all your tips on this project. I went out and got some chalk paint since it seems like an important step in the process. It's currently around noon here on Saturday a perfect time to try this project out! I'm excited to begin!
I just watched a video on how to use mod podge by another person. At the end of it I just felt disappointed and wondered if I'll even bother trying. She didn't even show the finished product, but looking at the nearly complete product I suspect that was because it was a disaster zone. Then I saw yours - thank you - that's exactly the result and helpful information I was looking for. I know who I'll be coming to for craft tips from now on.
So glad to help out! It can be a bit of a tricky process so take your time and keep trying if it doesn't work first try. Glad to have you here. Any questions let me know
Thank you for this video it is exactly what I was looking for. I want to transfer a photo onto the fender of my motorcycle so hopefully it will work out like yours did 🤞🏻
I love the way the finished picture looks. Thank you for the video,I always learn so much. I am happy to see the ink jet printer used. Thats what I have so I am going to give this a try!!!
I hadn't known of your channel but You Tube sent this to my recommended videos. This video was great and the channel will be a game changer for helping with my home decor....thank you.
LaserJet heat sets the ink vs ink jet. I always iron the paper after paper prints and drys before the mod podge to heat set the ink and the colors will pop exactly the same as the laser print.
I did a project where I didn't have any chalk paint so I put a 2 coats of the Mod Podge over the piece and got pretty results. The results came out almost as good as with the chalk paint.
I’m a therapist but Covid (me almost dying from it and others becoming asshats) changed my perspective and joy from helping others. I’m starting to work on my passion for plant photography and I need canvases to hang at “holiday” shops and craft fairs. I tried this on a wood square and it was meh. I love upcycling! I think I have three or four more canvases, so I will try this again! Thank you again!
I look forward to seeing your videos... I agree, you are a very patient calm teacher 😌... I love to see all the inventive tricks of the trade of crafting you come up with... Ingenious for sure. I hope to visit Canada some day.
I have tried twice, followed your instructions. Neither time did it work. I’m now going to print the picture on vellum and place it on wood. I made one with rice paper this afternoon, and it turned out perfect.
After watching several videos of how to transfer ink jet prints to wood yours is the best and the easiest. You said it doesn’t work well on acrylic paint does that include Minwax Polycrilic? I make small boxes that I stain then topcoat with Polycrilic. Do you think I could do it on the stain?
Great to hear! The transfer method need a porous surface to adhere to . If it is smooth and shiny it will wipe off easy. I always have best results with chalk paint
Have you ever used a Polycrylic instead of a polyurethane? If not I would definitely recommend!! It doesn't yellow overtime like polyurethane does! Also that picture you took is BEAUTIFUL!!
After.Viewing several videos yours is the easiest. I make small boxes that I stain then topcoat. You mentioned it works best on milk paint but would it work on stain or would the image be blurry?
I like to use a white chalk paint under my images when I transfer. That give me the best results. You can always experiment with what works best for you though. Thanks for watching
Hi. Thanks for the video. Question: Can I print the image onto paper and do this a few hours later on? Or should it be done 10-15 minutes after image has been printed onto paper?
Have you ever experimented with MOAB Desert Varnish spray on the inkjet photo prior to transferring it to chalk painted wood surface? This product is supposed to add a waterproof seal to the photo. I am wondering if this would make the photo more durable when rubbing off the moist paper backing.
Hi!! I was just watching this tutorial. But I wanted to know... if you are working on fabric, does it help to previously give the transfering area a chawlk paint coat?! I'm from Chile.
Great video, thank you. I guess it's normal to end up with streaks after applying either the varnish finish or the mod podge finish? Anyway around that?
How Cool and helpful because I only have any an inkjet printer (that also is a cheap one) and I have printed a picture that I took of my garden, but I have to say my picture didn't come out as bright and nice as yours. It seemed to have some dark lines and isn't close to be out of ink. All the same I'm definitely going to try this. I loved your whole process from the chalk paint ( I haven't ever used chalk paint, I Know I Know, CRAZY RIGHT? LOL) to the water rubbing off the paper at the end. Too cool and looks like I'll be buying some chalk paint 🥰 Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!
I enjoy everyone of your videos and save them all in my notes file. I'm having a hard time finding your REVERSE TRANSFER instruction video that you mentioned. Please forward it to me so I can try your video on canvas. Tysvm.
I can not seem to put a postage stamp on an envelope straight. I was thinking about a way to mark the back for the less-level headed among us,🤭. Thank you for the tutorial. Your photo is lovely.
I am a fairly new subscriber and catching up with your videos. I want to say I truly appreciate your sharing your experience and saving us new crafters some time and mistakes! I love your crafts too!
Wow great photo transfer. I have used Mod Podge before - and it was good. I wanted to try the laser print, but like you said, some of us don't have laser printers and I don't want to buy one or can't afford one one. All I've been using is Mod Podge and some finishing, but I'm going to try your way. Thanks for good info. You have a new follower !!
@@OurUpcycledLife I need a little advice. You are using Mod Podge Matt. I was buying some Modge Podge and was told to use Photo Transfer ModPodge. But the container says this was for light or dark fabrics Now I'm confused. Which one should I use? I am transferring a photo to wood.
Thank you so mich this will definitely help me out when I get started! Just a quick question... you specifically mentioned using chalk paint, would any other paint work or just the chalk paint?
That picture is breathtaking! I can not believe there are not more people commenting on how beautiful that picture is. I love reading the comments because there is always extra useful information but, I really expected more awe over it. Can you share where that location is, please? PS- you never cease to amaze with your clever, well presented ideas. Thanks
Thanks so much Melissa glad you enjoyed the video and it is actually a spot here in Ontario Canada that we went camping I think it’s an absolutely beautiful picture too and I just took it with my iPhone
Thanks, I’ve tried this technique and never had success. I think I will try again with your technique. There definitely is something special about chalk paint. :)
Hello. I was wondering how long should you wait for chalk paint to dry in between coats and before applying the image. Thank You so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Blessings
If I want my wood plaque to be in black, do I have to apply 2 coats of black chalk paint by skipping white chalk paint? Do you recommend using 1 coat of black chalk paint then any other color that we want in 2 coats? thank you! You have explained it so well. I'm gonna try it.
You will find if you only use the black paint the photo wont show thru well and will be very dark! I always recommend doing this technique on a light background. Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching 🌸 have a great day
Do you have to use your fingers or can you use a sponge or some other material other than your fingers?
Great video!! I’m wondering why you painted black first on your piece. Why not 3 coats of white? I totally agree with use of chalk paint!! Thanks, Kel
It just gives it a distressed look

I’ve rubbed the transfer off and it wrecked it all. Would applying hairspray before adding the first coat of modge podge?
No that would seal the graphics. Don’t use too much water
I knew i was doing something wrong i was staining the pieces of wood, is there anyway i could still use those pieces if chalk base down?
Could I use danish oil as a finish over the image?
I have not tried using danish oil so I am unsure I always used poly acrylic sealer

Great video, thank you. I guess it's normal to end up with streaks after applying either the varnish finish or the mod podge finish? Anyway around that?
As a topcoat, I don’t like to use montage as it does streak I’d like to use a water-based poly acrylic sealer, and it gives more of a smooth finish
I have the liquidtex professional acrylic medium high gloss and a gloss spray. Will the first one work with a brush?
