Image Transfer Made Easy
There are many different ways to transfer images onto paper.
Many of these methods would require you to purchase some
supplies from the craft stores. For example, you can easily buy
Inkjet Transfer Paper from most stationery shops. These come in
a pack of 10 sheets and cost about a dollar a sheet. You will
need a computer with a printer to print your images onto them.
Another image transfer method would require certain transfer
liquid or solvent.
But if you want to transfer images easily with no fuss and mess,
just get some clear cellophane tapes and follow the step by step
instructions below.
Supplies Needed:
1. cardstock or paper 2. broadest roll of clear cellophane tape
3. photocopied images 4. water
Instructions:
1. Have your desired images black and white or color
photocopied. 2. Trim the photocopied images. 3. Place it face up
on a flat working surface. 4. Cut out a piece of clear
cellophane tape about the size of the image. 5. Cover the image
with the clear cellophane tape. 6. Use your thumb to rub over
the clear tape. 7. Soak the tape in water for a minute. 8.
Remove the paper from the tape by gently rubbing on it. The
soaked paper will come off easily leaving the image on the tape.
9. Dry the tape and attach to your card or paper. If the tape is
not sticky enough, just add some glue.
If it's a black and white image and you want to add some color,
just add glitter glue to the image on the tape.
Actually, you can use this same technique to make your own
stickers for scrapbooking. Beside using photocopied images, you
can also use images that you cut out from magazines.
Do this with children. They will love it.
