I saw this trick and now I own a dollar store.
Lucas omg me too!!!! 😂 I came to the comments before the video finished just to see who else caught that lol
Can I run it for you
I own a 50 cent store.
Mine didn't work out as well :-(

Help, I have brain matter all over my screen. MIND BLOWN. Seriously, MIND is not the same. While this idea was intended to encourage those for art projects, labeling etc., I plan to use the technique in restoration of instrument dials. Gratitude 100 fold. thank you SOOO MUCH!
I had a home economics teacher in junior high that taught us how to do that. Contact paper also works. You do it exactly the same way. The fun thing about it is it can be decoupaged. I used to do calligraphy and then make stickers with it. You can make labels for jars, all kinds of things in your own handwriting. Another use for it is to make the sticker, then put it on a surface and use it for tracing. so, for instance, if you wanted to etch glass you could do this and use it for a template.
Thank you so much! I’m in!
Cool!
Can we make that on mugs,are they dishwasher safe?
Contact paper ? Please explain I am new to this
What kind of paper. I have an ink jet printer & tried but the words did not stick to the tape? What did I do wrong?
Island of the Blue Dolphins! I loved that book in grade school. Nice work on the DIY graphic transfer too. Thank you.
That is something totally different. Love it!❤️
this is actually amazing. need to try this for myself. I bet I can do a lot of projects with this trick
Oh my god thank you so much ❤ I'm watching this 2024 😁❤
Tip: Use Warm Water
nope i use cold water, and its work
It did't work with me
It didnt wprkd for me..wht could be the prb
Tried it twice and neither time worked
I can use this for custom decals for my larger models! Thank you so much for this tip. Model decals are normally pretty expensive.
What kind of paper you use?
Do you use an Inkjet Printer or Laser?
Simple and genius...thank you for sharing!
What an amazing idea. I can't wait to try this technique out.
Waste of time doesn't work 🤐
Many thanks, kind teacher. Many have been showing printings on items without giving the tips of how to create the pictures. God bless your enterprise 🙏💌🕊️
Mitchalisia Hi,
Yes very Cool ! But warm water works best for easiest results ! 💙
Mitch Scroggins thanks! I was just about to ask about the temp of the water 👍😊
@@victoriacharlesworth7099 and sometimes lucks gets thugs life
What do you use to stick it onto the glass ?
That is so great thank you for this video I’m so excited to try it🙏🏼👍❤️
This is perfect. Thank you for sharing.
That’s one of the best craft tips I’ve ever seen. Thx!
Where can i get the ipad to set timer for 5 minutes
Best buy
Or.... save the money watch this video for the first 3:08 minutes then go back and stop it after 1:92 minutes, though I really doubt if you ran this video twice 6:16 minutes should not hurt the soaking process 😳

AWESOME. GREAT IDEA FOR WEDDING FAVORS.TFS.
I love this FINALLY something easy thank you so much.
Beautiful... Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas.
This looks like the exact thing I need!
You're right, I did run to the dollar store, but they weren't selling laser printers.
Ha ha ha
🤣🤣🤣
lol
😂😂😂 I was trying to figure out which in the video is found at the dollar store. I can't even find printer paper at the dollar store, but thank God I already have these items in my home.
Use ink on paper then
Love that so much!!!! ♥️ well done hometalk
Exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks!
I love it! Now Im going to decorate everything. Thanks :)
Thanks a lot. You just gave me some great ideas for my business. You rock.
OMG. I am totally using this tip!! 🙌🙌🥰
I use packing tape when I punch out my very intricate butterflies. Where the holes and slits are in the wings I put the butterflies on packing tape and lightly dust them with different colors of very fine glitter. Then with my cutter bee sissors I carefully cut out the butterflies and then I use them to make my own stationary. I have never seen this done elsewhere. I just thought of it about 5 years ago. I am sure someone has done this already.
I cannot afford a cameo or a cricket so I am thrilled to learn how to make my own transfers. This will be nice to use with my own logo which right now is in a rubber stamp form. This is awesome cannot wait to try.
Love your idea of using clear packing tape for die cuts thxs so much for sharing 🙏💪
Stamping, with permanent or alcoholic ink, on smooth side of tape might also work 🤔
Wait so explain that again? You kind of make your own stickers? Am I thinking right?
I have a Cricut but I can't figure out Design Space. I need someone to teach me in person. I'm a visual learner but not on a computer screen! 🤭
You're going a bit too crazy with that packing tape.
I laughed out loud !
@@ddl4374 I think it was done so the effort seemed easier. It is difficult to get tape nice and smooth on a smaller target. The tape tends to lift the small piece up into a spot you don't want.
Awsome idea. Few questions tho… what type of paper/printer (inkjet,lazer ect) and water temp (cold, Luke warm, Hot)? Thanks
Brilliant! Thank you!
I love it as always !😍
Thank you thank you. My fiance died last January. He is Papa to my family. This is perfect to Keep him in Christmas. Candles are our thing. They'll cry but its good. 💜💜💜🎍🎄🎍
@GeoMag36 432Hz thank you. Dino loved my art/DIY work. This one is for him. I'm sorry about your Mom. Not sure how much longer I'll have my Mother. She's 89! In good health tho thankfully.

inkd_cali86 yea son... I didn’t miss u
inkd_cali86 okay you can call her from the orphanage
I've been wanting to try this, after actually seeing it, instead of only reading the steps, I think I'll give it a try. Tfs!
Darnia Taylor howd it go
@@conesmad I was shocked, but it worked great! Thanks for asking. 😊
Hey, may i ask you if you use an inkjet printer for the project or a laser printer?
@@ranizumi I believe it's a HP inkjet.
The video said laser printer is preferred for stronger ink/color.
Great job, just love it!
OMG!!!!! Soooo cool.... Thanks so much for sharing....it's new to me.😊
So the trick is using a laser printer? Wow very cool. 🌞💚 Thanks so much sunshine.
This is going to be worse for my family and friends than when I got the label maker back in '92! Awesome share! Thanks
Lol. I feel ya
Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
So sweet of you to share this. Wish you all the goodluck in life 🎉
That is awesome
I would try this but I only have a inkjet printer and I tried it with that and literally all the ink came off while pealing the paper afterwards (I tried a few years back with a laser printer and it worked really well)
Yep, me too, doesn't work with ink jet at all - they should state that. I guess if you use photo paper with ink jet it might work or spray printed copy with hair spray or something that sets the ink. I guess i you have an ink jet printer you can't run a Dollar Store - duh! (oy!) So funny I forgot to laugh.
i just came across this video and i was wondering how tf this could work and keep the ink on the tape. i still don’t understand but at least this comment clarified it a little lol
It's the same with water decals and inkjet printers. Let printing dry and then spray with clear gloss paint. THEN, you can cut it out and apply to item.
Linda O: The laser printer ink toner ‘melts’ into the paper - like on a magazine page; whereas the inkjet print only sits on the surface of the page unless it’s sprayed with some fixative.
🤍💛🧡❤️ love it! Thank you
A whole idea Thanks. Amazing
And it's important to remember to let the photo or graphic curl up in the water! 🤣
Actually this is clever trick ... gotta try it myself!
I am seeing ur channels video for the first time...And it's rare I subscribe initially . ..this video is brilliant and I had to😊
Thanks so much and great tutorial ‼️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😍
Wow I am so impressed. Thank u
Nice tip, thank you. I have done this without tape. You just add glue to the surface of choise. Put the laserprinted picture face down on the glued surface and let it dry to next day. Dip your finger in water and start rubb gently the paper of. And when the paper is all of, only the picture is remaining on the surface. I have done this on wood block but i think it works on other surfaces too. But i think this idea in this video is better.
normal a4 sheet will do the job?
I don't know how to reverse images! 🙅♀️ You would need too for the glue method right?🤷♀️
@@CoCo-zx4cd I apologize my english. Yes you are right. I have not tried it with words, only pictures. I guess in the printer settings is a option to print in mirror or to use a photo editor like, Photoshop, Paint, etc... and load the picture in to it and flip the pic and save, and then print.
Wow, that was amazingly dope! I love the creative ideas at the end; for the make-up brushes was so cute with the eye lashes and mouth.🤗❤️💯✨
Wow you saw the eyelashes and mouth. I had to watch the end agin to Catch that.
This is cool and handy what an awesome trick thanks so much for posting this cool video!
Love it, thanks
I just did my 1st transfer came out great. Thanks 😊
What kind of paper and ink you use ?
Is that water for soaking it ?
@@stefanidowlingyes

Well, since the instructions said to PRINT, I would try using PRINTER paper. 😊

It is amazing! Bravo! I have to do that , I love it. God bless you
That is Fantastic. I love it.Thank you so much for sharing.😆😆Dollar store here i come .
Trim before you apply to tape so you dont waste SO much tape
Exactly!!
That’s true.
We all thought this
right? Maybe her family owns a tape company or she is just wasteful in all her ventures.
I was thinking the same thing 🤣,why is she wasting so much tape and paper???
TY for sharing this technique. I have a suggestion, though which you may have thought of already ... instead of making just one "image" at a time, make several on the same slip or piece of paper. Then, when you lay down the strips of tape, you won't be wasting much if any tape and paper. Also, can you make the "stickers" days in advance to maybe use at a later time or give them as gifts to people who like stickers ? And, I know how that the whole image would be affected, but, can you place multiple layers of tape on larger images ? Thank you for your advice.
I've done that. I put multiple images on the page lined up. And I cut off just enough tape to cover what will he the actual sticker image. I also had a large image where I put two strips and match them up on the item once finished. Also if you soak the paper and then burnish the ink areas, then the paper in the white ates doesn't stick, and you only have to scrape from behind the black ink areas.
You can apply the extras to Wax paper till you need them!
Muy bonito lo que haces.Saludos desde Cali Colombia.
Oh man this is fab thank you .x
For an alternative to this DIY Avery brand has clear printable labels in various sizes.
What paper is she even using? Like sticker paper or does she even say?
@@momofboys8449, Hey, you can use regular copier papr or writing paper etc... nothing fancy. I've done it before when I ran out of labels. Only problem is that your project size is dependent on the width of the tape.
I have a cricut machine and only an inkjet. What do you think about the clear sticker paper and contact paper if needed
@@momofboys8449 I use contact paper all the time for sticker-stencils! It's fairly fidgety, trying to get the perfect pressure setting, though.
Testors and the other model companies make decal material that you can put in your printer.
What kind of paper did you use to print out the images?
Glossy or simple paper?
Ihave to try this!!!
This might be the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life I did not know you could ever do that
Well bugger me! That was actually pretty cool, might even have a crack at it. Cheers
Love the ideas... :) Which font did you use on the cereal containers?
PAPYRUSSSS
Wow really amazing thx for sharing!!!!
Great idea!
"Catch me if you can..."
Anyone?
Lol
Love that movie!
I concur...🧐😎👨⚕️
Me too
Frank Abagnale Jr. Approves! 😂😂
Welp..guess this will work perfectly for making decals for model kits
Matté lacquer and its hidden while permanently wedged on the thing without a risk of it falling.
I was wondering how to make it stick better. I just can't see it holding up the way they show it does, especially on the oil bottle.
Thank you, im looking for a way to make a cursive handwriting sheet for my kids. I was thinking of a stencil idea so his pen follows the groove.. lol.. ur project might have helped me, idk but i plan to do this for my kitchen clear containers.. i enjoyed this rabbit hole experience. 🤔
Amazing
Thank you for sharing
I have a question can you use regular printer paper for water decals or graphic transfers?
I'm wondering that too.. like.. what kind of printer? ink? paper? is being used? 🤷♀️
Does the tape lift eventually ? And Can you dishwash it? For mugs and such
I definitely wouldn't trust it in the dishwasher. If you're curious I would put a piece of packing tape on a mug you don't necessarily care too much about. Run it through the dishwasher a few times and see how it is after it comes out of the dishwasher. I definitely wouldn't put a heat cycle on there though to dry them. I think the best idea would just be hand washing them for durability and for the decal to last longer.
Yeah, my concern was that, on that oil dispenser one, I use oil to take adhesive off (when peeling price stickers off things, for instance.) So I wouldn’t put it on that oil bottle at all!
The rest, yeah, it’ll probably work. But I am with the other commenter that I’d probably use this on things that don’t need to be washed at all, and most certainly hand wash - very carefully! - things that need washing. I’d probably put a coat of clear sealer on over it as well, as long as that didn’t ruin the image.
@@DawnDavidson I put it on my dish soap bottle, and it's been under running water many times. I think if you press it down firmly when you apply it, it should stay a long while. Most labels are paper with adhesive, but this is plastic tape, so water won't soften it from the outside. Heat from a dishwasher might though.... Oil may loosen it, but it'd have to get under an edge first, so apply the sticker and buff it down well all around all the eges, and you might not have to replace it for months.
I want to try this
Thank you for sharing this video
Genius! Love it.
You can use this same technique - substituting the packing tape for clear nail varnish - to make your own nail decals.
Clear contact paper
A coat or two of the mod podge once dried will work as well. I have transferred several images that way.
@@rhondaflesher8313 I'm trying to make some candles for a funeral coming up. What type of paper do u suggest using I'm getting mixed reviews on what's best, and do u just put modge podge on glass then place picture, and coat again? Thanks in advance
@@jenn4393 I had used photos and pictures from books and magazines for my pictures. You need to paint a couple of good coats of the mod podge over the front of the image and let it dry completely. Then do as in the video - soak in warm water before rubbing the paper off the back. Paint a layer of mod podge were you want to put the image place it on the wet mod podge, smoothing it out. To make it more lasting paint a coat of mod podge over the image as well after it is adhered to surface.
How to get rid of the bubbles after the sticker is applied?
Do u use a Laser printer or ink?
She used a laser printer. I've tried this with an ink jet printer and it doesn't work. 😭
@@LorraineCastellon-Rowe Me too. I used inkjet to print and when I started to peel the paper, ink came right off, it didn't stick to the tape. So inkjet may not work.
@@laxmish24
You're correct. An ink jet printer does not work with this technique. You definitely need a laser printer.
@@LorraineCastellon-Rowe I guess so.
WOW 😍 THANKS FOR SHARING
I've done this before but had trouble getting the paper off. Maybe I didn't soak it long enough. Maybe it was because it was a photo. Thanks for the five minute tip! I'm going to try again. This time I'm just using words so hopefully I will have better luck.
I'd trim my graphic first, then place the tape so as not to waste so much tape.
If you don't have a heavy enough bit of paper, the tape will pull the piece up against itself, usually not where you want it to be or with a fold. I made labels I wanted just to tape onto things and had that problem. Though you might have success if you held the small graphic onto a surface with tape placed beyond the edge of the trim portion before you covered it with the packing tape.
You cant buy a printer at the dollar store though??
Has anyone tried an inkjet printer?
True, you cannot buy a printer at the dollar store but the point is
you cannot buy the decal material for only $4 anywhere nor can you get it at the dollar store nor do you need to go through this many steps to do this.
If you choose to do it this way
you must be aware that the tape will get destroyed over time by the candle heat and still overtime without any candle by just existence it will eventually bubble and peel and will soon start collecting dust around the sticky edges of the tape.
Jessica Cockerell - I have tried it, it doesn’t work at all really since the ink literally won’t stick. I’ve also tried a laser so that’s your best bet (try a college, work, or school printer since they might have a laser)
Yessss!! you are a blessing!!
It did work :) thank you so much!
Ok time to label my notebooks 'BTS' then.

After you stick the tape on glass do you peel the tape?
Thank you for asking this! In every example shown when she got to the final step it just said "apply your -." After the second one, I was yelling at the screen..."apply it how??!!!" Aggghh. do you rub in onto the surface of your choice or are you just sticking the entire tape and all to the surface.
You just stick it on like the packing tape that it is. This is not a cricut tutorial. You are not transferring the ink separately. The ink is sticking to the tape, you are removing the paper, and you are sticking the entire piece of tape, with the ink, onto your item, and leaving it there, as it it were a clear sticker with words/designs on it. That is why you trim it to the size of the surface you will apply it to, because you don't want or need excess hanging off. It is literally a clear sticker made of tape
I love your creativity
Incredible. I can do this! 👍🏻
What are you using to make it stick to the surfaces?
It gets sticky again once it’s dry.
What is the difference between idea nd idea 2?
One is a logo the printed area does not completely cover the adhesive.
The other is a photo that uses the entire area, that's why she states it doesn't adhere well. Basically, More ink coverage equals less adhesive area.
@@noo4pass oh! Thank-you very much for the information
THANKS FOR SHARING!
Thanks for sharing 🥰
God bless you.🙏🏻
I tried this but the tape is never sticky after 5 minutes
Did you buy the tape that was in a clearance bin?
xX squeaker Xx bahahahah 😂 I’m weak
@Neu Street so what a dollar store cant have things on clearance?
Use clear contact paper
And i didnt hear what was even from dollar store
This says to me that I can draw with a sharpie and make a temporary tattoo for my kid, maybe. Just do it without the tape, and wet it with a cloth against the skin instead of submerging it.
What paper is she using
Truly clever!
Awesome video! THANKS
