How to transfer an image on to a canvas, using homemade ModPodge

I was too lazy to buy a ModPodge, instead I tried using the homemade ModPodge (the glue which I normally used for craft projects). It turned out well. The process is same as in image transferring using ModPodge

For preparing homemade ModPodge (not exactly ModPodge), click here

Supplies needed:

1. Homemade ModPodge

2. Canvas of any size/colour you want, I used canvas panel

3. Paint brush

4. Take print out of the image you want to transfer, make sure the printed image is mirrored

5. Wet tissues or damp cloth

Steps:

1      1. Using a paint brush, apply homemade ModPodge all over the canvas surface

        2. Paste the image side of the print out onto the canvas

        3. Press it with fingers and palms so that there won’t be any air bubbles; if you are using a canvas board, keep a book underneath the canvas to clear the bubbles

        4.  Let it dry overnight

        5.  Using wet tissues or a damp cloth, press against the pasted image on the canvas and make the canvas wet.

       6.   Gently, using fingers slowly scratch out the printed paper

       7.  Fingers are the best way to do it, because you know the exact pressure to be given for the entire image not to peel off

       8. Now, the image should have been transferred onto the canvas. Let it dry

       9.  The image transferred using Homemade ModPodge and ModPodge might be different because of the quality maybe, but I liked the look of the image J J

     You can also paint the canvas with your favourite acrylic colours. I liked the ruggedy vintagy kinda look of the image. I am planning to prepare a frame for this canvas using cardboard, which I will share it in my next post.
