Print Project

Step 1

Cut photos to fit panels.

Step 2

Apply photo transfer medium with the foam brush on the front of photo.

Step 3

Now, place the photo face down onto the panel so that the front of the picture is now facing the panel.

Step 4

Smooth the back of the photo. Allow to dry for 24 hours.
TIP: If some of the medium seeps out the sides, wipe excess from the sides of the panel.

Step 5

Dampen cloth and begin to get the paper wet. Remove a layer of the paper by gently rubbing paper in a circular motion. Allow to dry after each layer is removed and then continue with the same process until all the paper is gone and all you see is the photo.

Step 6

Tape off a third of the bottom of the picture and paint one aqua and the other hot pink. Let dry.
