Shai Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hi Ladies! I came up with an idea today and have to have it done by tomorrow! LoL I am wanting to transfer a picture from a copy done with a copy machine. I can't find my instructions, but that's ok ... they always ask for a medium gel. Would that include modge podge?? Help!

Guest DeeZee Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I *just* saw a method using PACKING TAPE but for the life of me, i can't remember where I saw the info ... I'll check my history and see if I can find it for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lesliefavela Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Modge podge is basically glue for decopage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrappingForever Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 you can use the packing tape transfer technique for that, if you have packing tape, (clear mailing tape.) Basically you just stick the picture to the tape, burnish it real good, then put it in water for a short while. Once the paper is softened, you rub it off, and the picture is left on the tape. If you want to use a technique that calls for gel medium, then that's what you need to use. Modge Podge isn't the same thing. If you need me to dig out the directions for using gel medium, just say the word. I have them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shai Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 Leslie - I tried it lol what a mess that was ... Jan - That's the one I've been looking for!! THANK YOU!! As for gel medium, I have the technique, just not the right gel medium. When I get back I'll see if the base scrapshop has any. SHai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momentousangel Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I saw the packing tape over at ck a while back. Not sure if I should have posted that, but wanted to try and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyPorota Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Shai I know a technique. You need a photocopy of the image in black and white (not laser). Then you put it over the surface with the image down and rub it with thinner (not turpentine) or acetone. I used this technique to transfer a drawing on a shirt and then I painted it. I also used it on a cardbox. Bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
