Thank you! The method you suggested worked great in helping to create a fun Christmas present! I used glue stick to paste curled up freezer paper(with the waxy side up of course) flat onto a piece of printer paper before sending it through the inkjet printer. This made it not only much easier to print but also to handle after printing (paper stayed attached after printing -- no need to separate). Also beforehand it also helps to pre-print the design onto the regular sheet of printer paper that you are going to attach your freezer paper onto (and then you know exactly where to gluestick the freezer paper onto so that it completely covers up the design). In other words you no longer need to precisely cut a 8.5 x 11 piece of wax paper to feed through your printer. You use only the rough size needed to gluestick the wax paper over the design area on your printer paper and then of course send it back through your inkjet printer so it prints on the shiny side of the freezer paper) and follow the method suggested in the video to transfer it to wood. Hope that helps somebody.

I've been doing this for years and I wanted to share that, yes, you can use this method on a piece of wood that has been painted. I've done it over chalk paint and flat white. It does have to be a flat paint. And, if you dilute white matte (flat) paint with some water, it acts like chalk paint. And it's a whole lot cheaper.

Excellent demonstration. Burnishing is the art term and the back of a large spoon works well for this, too. I need to find some glossy paper! Thanks for inviting your daughter to join in.

You're a lifesaver!! I took on a crafts project that was beyond my actual artistic skill. But with this, I can get it done and probably better than I thought. Thank you.

This is great, I am a graphics professional and business owner that has all the equipment to do this commercially but it's really cool to see how others, without the advantages I have, can make this work anyways. So much fun to watch.

That was great can not believe how easy. This will make my wood projects so much better . Thanks for making this video !!!!

WoW! So quick and your explanation was so clear. Particularly about using spray. I would usually use a wipe-on matte polyurethane but now I know to buy a spray can. This is perfect timing for Christmas gifts and decorations. Thank you.

[leedsbutler]

Wow! Thank you! W as thinking to spend thousands on a laser engraver, but I think this will work for my needs! Thank you!!!

[DivineMisterAdVentures]

WOW I can't believe it!! - just like that! That's pretty amazing!!

[NelsonRodriguez-yx]

WOW this is impressive! This is exactly what I was looking for my project. And so easy! Thank you very much for sharing!

Ive done this a few times with freezer paper, put the ink on the slick side just like youve done it and yes it will smear if touched

Can you send me a little more about what type of label paper, and how the correct orientation for HP printers. The link in your description takes me to a 2-in-1 sheets for postal labels. I really want to add personalized notes onto small projects I am building for friends and neighbors.

[Mark_Provan]

Great video. I normally use water slides or vinyl but i will be giving this a try 🙂

[Parcsyde]

Awesome Job! I'll be sure to try this with my Laser Crafting work, thanks for sharing!

[jeaniemalone]

Thank you for this!!! I cannot afford a cricut or the expensive supplies but want to make some things for my family. This is a much better option.☺️

That was very informative.Im working on a project that requires for me to put a logo on the back of bench wood.
Dose it dry permanently after you done?
