DIY Photo-Wood Transfers

Hello! Today we're transferring images onto wood using an easy method. You will need:

• mod podge
• block of wood
• paintbrush
• printed image
• sponge

First, liberally brush some mod podge onto the wood, about the same size as the image.

Then, place your image face down onto the mod podge. Make sure to get rid of any air bubbles by pressing the image down with a straightedge.

Let it dry overnight. After that, use a wet sponge to peel off the paper residue. It should come up in rolls.

Wipe off the excess water, and you're done! This is how mine turned out:

This DIY was so cool to make. I like how faded the transfer looks! If you are going to transfer text onto the wood, make sure you mirror the image. I hope you try this out!
