Diy Photo Transfer To Canvas

To transfer a photo to canvas, you will need:

• A photo printed on inkjet paper
• A canvas
• Gel medium
• A brush
• A sponge
• Water

Instructions:

1. Apply a thick layer of gel medium to the entire canvas using a brush.
2. Place the photo face-down on the canvas and smooth out any air bubbles with a credit card or other smoothing tool.
3. Let the canvas dry for at least 12 hours.
4. Once the canvas is dry, wet the back of the photo with a sponge.
5. Gently rub the back of the photo with your fingers to remove the paper.
6. Continue rubbing until all of the paper is removed and the image is transferred to the canvas.
7. Let the canvas dry completely.

Once the canvas is dry, you can optionally add a layer of clear coat to protect the image.

Tips:

• Use a high-quality inkjet printer to print your photo.
• Use a thick layer of gel medium to ensure that the photo transfers completely.
• Be careful not to over-rub the back of the photo, or you may damage the image.
• If you are having trouble removing the paper, you can try using a damp cloth instead of a sponge.
• You can also use this method to transfer photos to other surfaces, such as wood or metal.
