WHEN I SAW THIS, I KNEW I HAD TO SHARE THIS.
FIRST, LET'S START WITH PICKING UP SOME FRAMES FROM YOUR LOCAL 2ND HAND STORE. MANY TIMES YOU CAN FIND MULTIPLES OF THE SAME FRAME.
REMOVE THE GLASS.
CUT A PIECE OF CARDBOARD THE SIZE OF THE INSIDE OF YOUR FRAME AND ATTACH TO FRAME.
PAINT THE FRAME AND INSIDE OF THE FRAME WHITE. GIVE IT 2 COATS.
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE OUR OWN IOD BY SIMPLY FINDING BEAUTIFUL OBJECTS. NOW IF YOU ONLY HAVE A PRINTER THAT PRINTS 8.5 X 11, CUT OUT YOUR BEAUTIFUL IMAGES OUT AND GLUE THEM TO A PIECE OF 8.5 X 11 PAPER. YOU'LL WANT TO USE A GLUE STICK FOR THIS.
GO AHEAD AND PAINT A 3RD COAT ON THE INSIDE OF YOUR FRAME FAIRLY THICK.
THIS STEP YOU NEED TO WORK FAST BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT THE INK TO DRY.
PRINT IMAGE - THEN LIE DOWN THE IMAGE ONTO THE VERY WET PAINT FACE DOWN AND THEN GENTLY BEGIN RUBBING THE BACK OF PAPER, REMOVING ANY WRINKLES. YOU CAN USE A BRAYER IF YOU CHOOSE.. AFTER YOU'VE RUBBED IT AND IT FEELS GOOD IN PLACE, RUB MUCH HARDER TO GET THE IMAGE TO TRANSFER.
IF YOU HAVE LINES FROM THE PAPER, GO OVER THEM WITH A DAMP CLOTH.
ALLOW TO COMPLETELY DRY. YOU CAN USE A HAIR DRYER TO SPEED UP THIS PROCESS.
AFTER DRYING, YOU CAN BEGIN MISTING THE PAPER WITH A BIT OF WATER AND GENTLY BEGIN REMOVING THE PAPER.
MIX A BOTTLE OF CLEAR COAT AND WATER THAT YOU CAN NOW SPRITZ OVER YOUR WORK.
YOU CAN ALSO USE A TRANSFER ONTO FURNITURE.
ONLY YOU KNOW THE DESIGN STYLE YOU HAVE.
JUST USE THE SAME PROCESS.
