I have never seen you before Mam but, I am always up to revamp something old or new to keep it out of the land fill. My mom and I were dumpster divers 30 years ago when that term was not out. We only went to stores where there was clean dry sanitary dumpsters for craft supplies or grocery stores that threw away their magazines. We mostly were curb collectors. I tell people my idea of curb appeal is not buying a house but seeing something cool on someone's curb, taking it home and refinishing it into something great. I make all my oen stationary and I even make my own envelopes and I make cool post cards out of fabric and card stock and the postal service approves it as long as there is no fringe or loose threads. I do not have the type of printer you need for this technique but I buy vellum in bulk and I make very cool mini lamp shades out of it. I look forward to seeing your other videos. Sincerely, Rebekah in VA

I might try this because I have absolutely no luck with the Mod Podge and reverse graphic and am not going to even rely on it anymore. Ive had graphics printed at Staples because of their laser printers, I've given them my cheap paper to do that, I've covered it with Mod Podge, I waited 24 hrs , I've trimmed all the paper I could so I'd less to rub off and still had to go over the print with a paint brush and black paint. II was rubbing the print off!!!! I'm done doing that. I'll use stencils, tranfers or other techniques. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Let's see what wax paper will do.

You can use laser, slighty different process...brightness needs raised on image for dark colors, & you need to use preferably a liquidtex gel medium (matte) on area of transfer, risk of smudging if not careful. Painted surfaces need a heat gun for 2+ minutes, & applies better with flatter & matte paints. *You don't even need wax paper, a laser print on paper works, same technique...but it needs wetted, & paper towel dried for a perfect release/removal, or it will remove in a few ripped up strips. Practice is key.
