Transfer For Card Making And Scrapbooking Made Easy
by
Flora Tan
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 cut out from magazines.
Do
this with children. They will love it.
