The Easiest Way to Transfer Images to a Wood Surface

As I shared in my photo to wood transfer tutorial, I enjoy transferring images to other surfaces to create personalized projects. The technique I shared in that tutorial does have a bit of a learning curve, so while you practice to master that technique, here's a simpler process you can try: use printable tattoo paper to make your own image transfer!
While this product is designed and marketed to be used with the Silhouette cutting machine, you can use the product even if you don't have a machine. You just need a printer!


Supplies needed to perform your own image transfer:


Wood Tissue Box (or other wood surface of your choice).


Craft Paint (I used silver).


Silhouette Printable Tattoo Paper.


Krylon Triple Thick Clear Glaze Spray.
Step one: Paint the box silver.
I chose some of my favorite retro Christmas images to decorate this cheery tissue box. It will make a cute addition to a classroom, desk, or powder room!
