Thank you so much for making this video. Specifically, mentioning that it will take a few tries to get it right, and its normal for the transfer to be a bit "imperfect." I've had a hard time mastering the removal process, and I've watched a dozen plus tutorials where everyone seems like a wizard! I had no idea what I was doing wrong and tried so many different techniques. It turned out that I was just aggressively rubbing off the paper, and some level of imperfection should be expected. You were the only person to mention this out of all the videos and techniques I've tried.
Hi Deidre! Hope you see this (ASAP lol) so I made 10, and need to redo 1/2 for Xmas presents that are highly emotional (baby announcements, homecoming). I’m wondering. I haven’t sealed any of them. Can I reuse these blocks and lay new pictures down on them? In theory, I think I would be able to if I just rub everything off the bad blocks. I just don’t know if the mod podge or chemicals in the pictures might have done something to the top layer of paint. Second question- when I did the first batch, I put the mid podge on the image. They are all 4x6. The images curled pretty quick before I could flip it over. Would it still work if I put the mod podge on the wood, then lay the pic on it? Last question- Do I need to seal the ENTIRE block with the varathane, or just where the transfer is. Thank you in advance! LOVE your channe!!
Yes you can reuse blocks and make sure you are using cheap computer paper and not too much mod pdoge that could be why curling up. I find it works best on paper. Seal the whole project ❤️
@ hi Deidre thank you so much! I tried rewetting the first block and noting was coming off, so used sandpaper, repainted and put the pic on top this time to se what would happen. Have a 32 Oz mod podge n used the lid as w a way to push bubbles out. The couple it’s the sonogram had their baby today! Couple months early, so now wanna see if I can make a block with that pic too! Baby came 2 1/2 months early n weights 3lb
@@OurUpcycledLife I hope I can figure it out I've got lots of them that I want to do I'm going to start with something small and see how it goes, then I want to do tables and posters. My dad passed away almost 2 years ago he did a whole bunch of pictures like dragons and stuff I have them all very cool
I’m the Video you state that you’re going to leave in the comments how to make craft paint but I don’t see it anywhere could you please be so kind as to leave me a link to your video on how to make that? Thank you.
Talking like a pro at this and how she's found what works best yet it comes out looking like hammered 💩.. Funny when she starts and says how great her method and choice of materials are but when she sees the results she says "I don't like things to look perfect" 😂 Tons of these videos on TH-cam with way better results!

Happy you reminded everyone to reverse the image before they printed. That is so important for an accurate result. ❤️

How long do you allow the chalk paint to dry before applying the paper?
Will depend on your humidity

Could you please direct me to your video where you make your chalk paint? I can’t seem to find your link. Thank you.

Is it better to use colored photos or black and white?
Can you use any light color chalk paint? I have a list baby blue and a pink.. I was wondering if it would work...
Yes you can!
nice. thank you for this!
Your welcome♥️ hope you got some good tips! Thanks for watching 🌿
Would i still have to reverse the image if i did a quote instead of a picture?
If you’re doing words, they have to be reversed or they will be backwards
Where do you get the wood for these projects? Do you thrift them and sand off the paint/designs on them before you put on your own?
Yes, I can do that or I just use scrap pieces of wood that I found
Where do you find scrap wood?
Do we just print out photos on standard paper? Or onto photo paper?
Appreciate your reply ❤❤
Computer paper
Whether colour print can be used?
Yes you can
I was wondering will this technique work both in laser or ink jet print or only in laser print?
Yes, it will work with both but the LaserJet does work better
Hello, so excited to try this project. Can you please tell me what type of paper you print the photos on.
This is just print it on regular computer paper
Which program are you using to flip your photos please?
I use Picmonkey a graphic program but you can use goggle docs or your word program ♥️
@@OurUpcycledLife thank you I’ll try that ☺️
Do I need to use the whit chalk paint too? Or can I just use black?
You can use block, but if you’re going to do a transfer, it will not show up because of the background will be so dark
So why the black chalk paint on before the white??
When you distress it, the black will peak through
Did you print the photo on just normal xerox paper?
Yes
Can you use a regular printer or does it have to be a laser printer?

What if I put mod podge on my piece of wood first is it okay
I like to put on paper I find it works better
Can you use photo paper to do this
Yes, you sure can
Does it work with photo print outside from Walgreens or CVS?
Works best on computer paper
Why do you put dark chalk paint and then cover it with white? Why not just use 3 layers of white?
You certainly can
Why use black chalk paint under the white?
It causes a distressed, vintage luck when your project is finished
Could I use a glossy print to transfer onto wood?
No needs to be printed on regular computer paper! Thanks for watching Joan

At the 3:12 mark
here's what you asked, mate: th-cam.com/video/maFbucue0To/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/cyi22OrwrPk/w-d-xo.html

What will happen if you only use black chalk paint?
And I have a colored picture. Watching all these videos have confused me more 😩😩😩
I always like to use a white background so your picture stands more. If you use a dark color, it won’t show as much.
What if you use gloss mod podge to seal at the end ?
Yep you bet that will work! Thanks for watching Julie
Would you happen to know why all of my photos have turned cloudy?
If doing reverse technique you haven’t rubbed all the paper off
I see links for everything but the chalk paint recipe :(
Thanks for watching! 🌸 here is the link th-cam.com/video/cyi22OrwrPk/w-d-xo.html
@@OurUpcycledLife the only laser printer i have is only black, will it still work with your technique?
it sure will!

How the heck do you reverse a photo?
I dont see the chalk paint recipe.
