I love that you are saving our planet by using wood that might be tossed and using older clothes to make ribbon. Not only are you helping the planet, but you are helping to keep products at a lower price to preserve the strength of the dollar. To top it all off you are generating work based in america rather than over seas! Can I give you a round of aplause!!!

Hi! So one day I searched 'crafting' and your videos came up. Your ideas are so accessible for a beginner like me! I have already made 2 shelf sitters for Christmas using the chalk paint, sanding after wax, and laser printer transfer techniques. I showed them to my friend and she couldn't believe I had made them myself! So thank you for sharing your talent and ideas, I'm totally hooked!

I’m curious, is it the outline of the mod podge that is still left on the object after you’ve rubbed off the paper, or is it some of the paper? Whenever I do the reverse transfer method , I always have this odd outline that shows. Doesn’t matter if I am doing it over light colors or dark. Is there a way to avoid that?
@OurUpcycledLife
2 жыл бұрын
If you’re seeing a very prominent line you’ve probably used too much mod podge mod podge is thick so if you’re putting it on that way it will definitely show a line you don’t need very much to do this transfer technique if you do see a little bit of a line you can always blended in with your background colour hope that helps
