I use a different technique that works great for transferring images onto both glass and wood. I wanted to use an image to put onto an old bottle, but we only have an inkjet printer. Images/ink can run when printed using an ink jet printer, so I bake the images first (electric oven) to set the ink. Put printed image into cold oven, set to 175 degrees, then once the oven has reached 175, turn it off and leave printed image in for 20 minutes. Using Mod Podge Gloss, brush on a coat (not too much) of the MP directly onto your image and let dry. Some people simply use white school glue, but MP is my preference. Please note that some ink may still smear. I personally put on 3-4 layers of MP, letting it dry in between each coat. Cut out your image leaving a small border and then put image side down on a flat surface. Using a damp washcloth or clean rag, dampen (not soak) the back paper side of the image and let sit for 2 minutes. With a dampened washcloth, gently work in circular motions on small sections at a time and begin to remove the damp paper backing. It's important to use only gentle pressure while rubbing the paper off. Your fingers can help, as well. Soon you'll begin to see the clear image, but it's important to note if your image has a white background, the white color background will likely be removed, too. The whole process of removing the paper background typically only takes about 5 minutes depending on how large it is. You'll be left with what looks like a vinyl sheet with only your image that's still coated with Mod Podge. Make sure your image isn't too wet, trim the border, then prepare the project surface (in my case an old wine bottle) with a thin layer of Matte MP. Carefully position your image onto your project surface and begin to smooth it out working from the center outward to prevent air bubbles. A sheet of plastic wrap stretched out while pressing down can help this step. Wipe off any excess Mod Podge that may ooze out from beneath the image. Allow to dry and then put a coat or 2 of either Matte or Gloss MP over your image to seal it. Although the MP will act as a sealant, some people like to add a layer of spray acrylic sealer, as well. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the baking tip!
I want to make sure I understand you clearly - are you saying you make a decal and apply that to the object you're decorating?
I would think an iron-on decal would work as well on fabric but I want to do it on hard surfaces - this may be just the method for me.
mary birder can I use a regular stove oven to cure my print turn it on to 175 degrees Fahrenheit than turn it off and put the paper in there? please email me the reply to cely909@gmail.com thanks
Cely---I put my printed paper image (inkjet) into a cold oven and set it to 175F. Once the oven reaches 175 temp, I turn off the oven, but leave the printed paper in the oven until it cools down. Also, the longer the printed images sits at room temperature---the better. I have a stack of images that have sat for nearly a year and have found there is little to no bleeding of the ink. In my experience, red will continue to bleed slightly. Another method is to spray the printed image with a fixative, let it dry then spray another coat of fixative. Hope this helps!
mary birder can u print the picture on a a4 sheet
Niall If you're asking if you can do this on a large (letter size) image, the answer is yes, but using this transfer technique on such a large image might be too difficult to transfer. There are other ways of preventing an ink jet image from smearing. The longer your printed image sits around the better---giving the ink a longer time to cure. I've also had great luck with spraying my freshly printed image with Krylon Workable Fixative. This spray dries rather quickly. Spray your image (don't soak it), let it dry, repeat 2 or 3 times, then adhere your image using Mod Podge, mat gel or whatever medium you prefer.
** Important: Please note that the Mod Podge Photo Transfer must be used with a Dry Toner Copier only. Thank you for watching and we apologize for any inconvenience.
What is a dry toner copier? Do you mean a laser printer? I was just wondering if I can use photos printed from my inkjet printer? Thanks.
Cropped Stories This method will not work with images printed on an inkjet printer. The ink used is in liquid form (as opposed to dry toner used by laser printers) and is water solubable.
+Plaid Enterprises hello, this worked on regular glue?
The product certainly is misrepresented here and overpriced in retail outlets. The same exact thing has been easily accomplished for many years using the regular, and much cheaper, Mod Podge. This is a typical money grab. But i don't mind since I won't fall for it and that is one of the few negatives about capitalism that we need to put up with to have the privilege of living in the best & greatest society on the planet.
+Takena Schitt I was about to write the exact same thing. This video demonstrates the very point of the regular (or original version of) Mod Podge's original intended use. Let's not forget that Mod Podge is just regular old fashioned school glue diluted with water to begin with so THIS "money grab" is particularly heinous. Why pay $10 bucks for what is literally 10 cents worth of school glue. I suppose if ya want to get fancy you could buy the Elmer's Clear school glue, lol.
Finally a video that specifically tells you how to do it. Thanks so much!
is that steve-o
fückin eh yes lol
the clearest method ive seen (and ive watched a few) great after care advise too btw - thank you
Dear Mod Podge, I love you! Thanks Cathy and Steve
Wow :) thank you so much for this wonderful demonstration :) I'm just about to go into business transfering old theatre posters etc onto t-shirts,cushions and everything if I can :D and this is a great demonstration to watch to get the ideas flowing :) Thank you again xx
cannot wait to try this! I bought the photo transfer mod podge today to transfer a picture of my family on canvas which would be a great gift for mother's day!
How many washes before the color disappears ?
WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the best "how to" videos
Can you do this technique with an image from an inkjet printer or does it have to be from a laser printer?
❤ i have watch this video for years .. now i am going to try this.. looks so easy now.
Beautiful, can you use regular modpodge?
Love watching you guys. I miss seeing your crafting show. I use to watch you when I lived in Texas about 10 years ago. I’m glad I found you site on you tube.
Thank you for this tutorial super helpful, just getting into mod podge and so very excited to learn all these amazing things that can be done with it!❤
I just bought and used this product to transfer a photo I printed on regular computer paper to a t-shirt. it worked beautifully!!!!! I wish I could upload a photo of the shirt to show you!
WOW! Thanks y'all, I've been wondering how to do a transfer thats simple.
Never thought I’d buy mod podge. Today I did because you guys kept giving me lots of cute crafting ideas haha. Thank you ❤
Hi Cathie & Steve; just wondering a couple of things; you printed the image on regular copy paper? Also, if I wanted to transfer a photo to a metal tin or acrylic piece, would you seal it with Mod Podge as well?
So glad I found you. Thanks Mary
Hello! It needs to be laser printed.
WRONG NOT IF THE PERSON IS DECORATING THE OUTSIDE OF A PHOTO ALBUM COVER FOR A SPECIAL GIFT AND YOU CAN ALSO MODGE PODG T-SHIRTS IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY AND IT'S CHEAPER THAN THAT LASER JUNK
Just posted a comment. I transferred a photo to a denim jacket for my niece. She has worn it since thanksgiving ( now being dec 22) . Her mom washed it and the transfer faded off. What did I do wrong ? Even the jewels fell off and I used a glue specifically for stones ...I'm deviated. It WAS beautiful...lol
Can y’all help me out please I wonder if I print out a picture from Walmart printer will it work are does it have to be a hole printer to do this
@@rubenvasquez9881 hey did you ever get your answers?
Can't wait to use this for some wedding showers I have coming up! Great for decorations!!
This is a great video. I was wondering are there any video's showing how to photo transfer to a wine bottle or something similar?
ua-cam.com/video/g8nzDRymFeM/v-deo.html
My teacher tried to show us how to do this, but this video demonstrates 1000% better.
Lol! At 4:12 I thought he was going to say 2 months! 😂😂
Wow, it's been awhile, but Never have seen this, or did I know mod podge had photo transfer, thanks!
Does it have to be a laser print or can it be inkjet print to start with the image?
yes does it????
Good question
@@deed421 has to be laser printed
Can you hand sew through the image?
Do I use transfer paper or copier paper ?
Might use this for a custom motorcycle paint job.... u guys were 2 enthusiastic i love it lol sweet product
Hi, I don’t think it mentioned what kind of paper it is.
Is this just regular printing paper?
Yeah it is just printing paper
Oh so it's not transfer paper?
Thank you so much. Please keep the teaching videos coming.
U 2 have perfect enthusiasm for this!
Thank you for the video! It was super helpful! The transfer worked on cold press watercolour paper nicely!
AWESOME! Grateful for the easy, clear instructions for beginners like me. Keep up the GREAT WORK!
Very nice presentation. I learned how to transfer photo with Mod Podge. Thankyou.
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm thinking about trying this on a pair of white sneakers.
Great idea
Does anyone know off the top of their heads the difference of how photo medium modge podge turns out vs. printable htv iron on vinyl?
The best video I have seen! Hands down
who keeps forgetting to invert the images
Me. 😂
At 1:05 you mention acrylic tags, do you have a tutorial for this? Thanks! :)
This is amazing!! Is it special paper or just regular printer paper?
Just regular printer paper!
Awesome presentation. Thanks for sharing. Haven't thought of doing it on cloth.
You can use regular modge podge on regular printer paper and it works just as well.
does it a washable?
and can i use a normal coupon bind paper????
+Trisha Jeon Mod Podge is just regular school glue diluted with water. Nothing fancy. This new and improved product is just a marketing scam. Please, do not spend $10 for 10 cents worth of glue. Any time I am working on a new project or with new materials I try to do a "test" sample. Even if this were a legitimately new and improved product, I would do a test run and wash it to ensure it works before using it in my final application.
+kelly knowles thanks, im gonna try it with my glue/water mixture.
When I used normal printer my canvas luck like
thnx.its a great technique . surely gonna try it.
HELPP!! I want to do this on a mug, would it work?? Any tips??
Thanks so much for posting this video. This is going to be a new project for me to try so it was great to see how to get started. You both explained the steps so clearly. Can't wait to get started. Thanks again.
usually on the internet just put in mod podge and then go from there ,what type of paper are you using is it just ordinary printer paper?
Supposedly the paper could be uncoated or coated whatever that means, but it has to be printed with a laser printer
I love this. You make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing
thanks for this video, now i know what to do about transferring a photo.
Having the photo printed with laser & toner ink came out best.
is that printed on regular printer paper ?
You need laser printed pictures 😝
Thank you so much for your quick response!
What type of paper do you use? May I use normal paper with my inkjet printer?
Normal paper should work, and so long as the ink dries "matte" your printer will work too! So, yes!
Plaid Crafts
Thanks!
Omg it worked i tried with thick paper and it works!!!
Is that photo paper u used, or just regular copy paper?
+cutflower Photo paper is best. Copy paper gives it an old, distressed look.
+Jeanne Forsythe What kind of photo paper??
Regular printing paper!
Did you use regular white copy paper, bot photo paper?
thank you
this looks like a better option than using matte medium. I think I'm going to grab some tomorrow!
Thank you very much for your answer and Have a Happy Christmas!!!
i don't see an answer lol
@@buntcharlie Many years ago, when Google created the failed Google+, and implemented it together with UA-cam's comment section, it made a great mess and most of the comments in videos by that time, got disconnected from their thread, so now in many old videos (see my previous comment is 8 years old) when you read the comment section it doesn't make sense, because comments that were part of a thread years ago, now are shown as individual comments, I hope now you understand why I thank an answer I got but you don't see my question or the answer I got... I am pretty sure that if you continue searching in the comment section you will find my question and the answer I got scatered as individual comments... UA-cam made that mess! In fact I found my question: "Does it have to be a laser print or can it be inkjet print to start with the image?" and I see you have found it as well, as you comment in it.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us
Very cool but you both didn't explain what type of paper to use
Use the thinnest printer paper you can. It'll make it easier to remove once transferred onto the fabric. Thinner the paper the easier to remove.
Amazing. This is a great idea, I can think of so many things to create. Thank you for the great video.
Could you show us how to transfer a photo to a candle?
Pint app u can use
Looks good - good product and good presentation.
I wish they had explained in the tutorial you need laser prints, I have wasted lots of time with my grandchildren trying to get this to work. How many people have laser printers.
+Ann Mactavish Take your image to a copy store. The bonus is you can have them size it to your liking.
I didn't know either. I wrecked 4 tote bags, what a mess! They should have said in the beginning that you can only use a laser printer! Very deceptive video.
They do say it, put on your listening ears as judge judy says. Re-watch the video and you will get a good chuckle at the fact that they say it. If you are going to use 4 tote bags you like, make sure you know exactly what you are doing. I've seen this video 3 times in preparation, maybe you all should give that a try before you dive in.
Very deceptive video. Yeah! I'll bet they both work for the CIA too. GEEEEEZUSS! Chill out!
I agree!
Luv this! Cannot wait to try it!
Hi, It needs to be a toner copy of the image. You will most likely have to do this at a kinkos type place. It can be a black or white copy and it works best on plain paper (not the thick kind).
Can i transfer it to texture surface? Like weaving basket?
Hi! Mod Podge Photo Transfer Medium works best on smooth surfaces which will allow the full image to transfer. Trying to transfer an image on a slat woven basket can be achieved, however, portions of the image will be lost between the slats.
@@plaidcrafts
Does it have to be the special mod pidgeon or will any work
Excellent! Thank you! Gracias🙌
What kind of printer can be used to print the image. And are they printed on regular paper or photo paper?
any printer and they used regular paper, you can tell by how flimsy their picture was. I don't know if it works with photo paper but I suggest making copies of the photo your gonna use before doing this project.
YukiKira so you can use an ink printer and it will turn out ok and the picture will stay set? Or does it have to be printed on a laser printer?
Yes inkjet or laser printer will be fine to use hun, just make sure you are using the 'Mod Podge Photo Transfer', I do not know if its possible to use any other kind of mod podge for this project. I would also suggest getting the "Triple Thick Gloss Glaze" as well (not made by mod podge) because what I have notice is with the mod podge glaze, because it is also glue, does come off with water. I made a bowl with the mod podge and it felt slimy and gooey when i touched it with semi wet hands. This is the glaze I am referring to - www.amazon.com/DecoArt-TG01-36-Triple-Thick-8-Ounce/dp/B000WWM6QM/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1395611321&sr=1-1&keywords=glaze. I hope this has helped you :)
YukiKira Thank you, this did help, I was also wondering.. does the print immediately have to be placed on the fabric a few moments after it is printed, or can it work even if you printed it a few hours ago and the ink has set into the paper? :/
Dried, because you have to apply the mod podge to both the surface you are transferring the picture too and the photo itself. If you apply the mod podge to the photo while its wet, the photo will smear (Also do not coat watercolor paint with mod podge because the podge will remove the paint wet or dry...sorry had to mention that, lol) So to answer your question, yes your printed picture MUST be dry. :)
Thank you for your information. Great project !!!
Regular printer paper. Glossy or any photo paper will not work! :o)
Yes, I tried two projects with photo paper and it didn't work.
do we need laser printer?
@@gulsenmemmedli3430 Yes, a laser printer. Ink jet will not work.
OMG !!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! Just what i need it !!!!!
There were lots of things not covered in this 'how to guide' ? what type of paper? standard printer 80gsm paper? laser printer? Ink jet printer?
Yes is it regular paper?
yo this is so interesting
Hi, thank for the clear video. Can you tell me if you can use this also for outdoor in the sun.

Can I use it on candles?
Oh my god, you're both absolutely adorable! :D
great idea... i have seen all the episodes of creative juice.
who is here to make band shirts

good luck
I'm going to put a band pic on a canvas.

what's the ingredients difference from this bottle to the regular Mod Podge bottle?
Keeps bobling her head back and forth. Look at the guy, look at the camera....like 50 times
Can this be done on a padded vinyl chair seat?
We don't recommend this on Vinyl. You can see a list of materials you can photo transfer at plaidonline.com/articles/all-about-mod-podge-photo-transfer-formulas
GOD THAT WOMANS STUPID BEHAVIOUR IS ANNOYING AND DETESTABLE.
You make it look easy
There's an easier way transferring photo on fabrics, which won't take you an hour of making
please share with us! i am looking to decorate some plain t-shirts for my boyfriend's birthday.
Autumn cutiepug What's the easier way? I'd also like to know!
probably meant printable heat transfer vinyl
It's not really helpful to offer an easier way without sharing it.
can u do the same way onto candles
finally i got my answer thanks for your input
Well done video! Thanks!
Thanks - I'm going to try this.
is there any videos for transferring to metal or tin?
Can you use just regular printing paper
Omg I’m planning doing a Vincent price portrait
Which kind of printer can I use
What kind of paper should we print onto, when transferring to the fabric? I LOVE this idea....
The same as regular photo transfer just regular copy paper
Will this work on slate?
Can we use acrylic modge podge?????
Cool! Will do for Xmas!! Thank yhou
What kind of paper do you use? Regular copy paper or photo paper?
does this work well on steel or other metal surfaces??
Mod Podge Photo Transfer can be completed on most crafting surfaces such as: wood, metal, terra cotta, canvas, fabric, glass and ceramics, paper mache, etc.
great video,
will this work on glass?
I made a comment on a different video you did but you answered it on this vid..thank you
Doesn’t polycrylic work better and faster?
