Acrylic Transfer

2/7/2013

As part of one of my quiet book pages, I found some magnetic paper that I had the brilliant idea of using to cut shapes from. I went to work designing some shapes only to find that the kind I bought could not be directly printed on (or at least that is what the people at the local Kinkos told me...). My first thought was, "no worries, just use mod podge", but alas, since the design side has a vinyl coating, the mod podge was just a mess and came up fairly easily when I removed it. So, I went back to the packaging to look for further information. All I got was to transfer an image then paint it with acrylic paint. So, I began searching online for how to "transfer" an image for acrylic paint and came across an interesting method. I used it, skeptically, and voila! It worked perfectly!

Materials:
* Acrylic paint (your choice of color)
* Laser printed image on regular paper (ink-jet does not work) (this image will be available for download next week as part of the quiet book page post)
* Surface to transfer the image to
* Foam brush
* Spray bottle with water
* Acrylic sealer (optional)
Picture
Start by covering the surface you are transfering the image to in a thick coat of paint. You should be able to see streaks from your brush.
Picture
Then put the image, face down, onto the wet paint and smooth out any bubbles (the bubbles
will leave spots of the paint).

Let the image dry, preferably overnight. It will not work if you do not let it dry completely.
Picture
Spray the image with water and rub the paper pulp off with your finger. It is okay to be a little bit liberal with your water on this step.
Picture
Once the pulp is sufficiently removed and the water has all dried, take the image outside and spray with the acrylic sealer
