    I have been using the clear shelf liner that comes on a roll for years. I can seal it with the iron. I have covered thin boards front and back and used a heat gun to melt and seal the edges.
    I'm not sure if it's cheaper than using sandwich bags, but it is thicker and doesn't take 2 sheets and twice the labor.

      I think that the shelf paper is easier to work with because it has more body to it than the bag.

    When I was a kid - MANY moons ago, we used to do this with clear Contac paper! Later in college, we did a similar process with the clear Contac paper and photo emulsion for silkscreening.

      When you use the cereal bags, I can see where they may be better to DECREASE the GLOSSINESS, BUT do they do anything to deter the FOGGINESS?? And has anyone tried PARCHMENT PAPER? Or PHOTO PAPER (Gloss OR Matte?? I o f t e n find THESE in the "thrift stores). Thanks for everyone's input!!

  • @JaneSmith0709

    Seems like this method works especially well for aged and antique type projects. Another good tool in the arsenal.

  • @Mystic_Light
    @Mystic_Light ปีที่แล้ว +20

    This is an economical idea. You can do this with gel medium as well. Three layers, then sponge off the paper. You'll be left with a transparent transfer. It's great for magazine paper.

    • @amkarei

      Does your technique come out GLOSSY?? Would changing to a MATTE GEL MEDIUM give me a MATTE look, I wonder??

    We learned a similar technique using clear contact paper and magazine pics. Rub very hard over the pic, then water soak...

    I'm noticing the similarities between transfer options. For one, ink jet printing is common. Then, even with Mod Podge, the paper rubbing is part of the prcoess. Thanks for the plastic bag idea - it would not only be less glossy thank packing tape, but allow for larger transfers.

  • @donnasalvador678

    I noticed that the plastic had a rippled effect, which would be one reason why it has a cloudy effect. You might try using a flour sack dish towel over a very hard, smooth, flat surface, like a smooth cutting board. I believe this will solve some of the cloudy and rippled look. Of course, the cloudy, rippled look works perfect for certain projects. I was just offering a suggestion to try and see if it might get clearer and smoother. Also you could eliminate the towel underneath altogether and iron directly on either glass (thick of course) or metal, like a stainless steel kitchen island. Of course you would still need the parchment paper on top.
    You do brilliant videos, btw. 😊

    Out of curiosity could you instead of glueing it down use an iron and parchment paper and adhere it that way possibly to an item. I love the ironing of plastic wrap and paper to projects I kinda think this would work too. I love all you do very much, thank you for sharing.

    Neat idea. You should test it with greenhouse plastic. That plastic has a useful life of about 4 years. After that it usually has to be replaced as it starts to have holes or tear etc. You could get use of the plastic to grow food, and then upcycle the used plastic for this or other ideas.

  • @pennycandyys
    @pennycandyys 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I haven’t worked with plastic from zip lock bags, but I bet if you take some of that paper you were ironing with and crinkle it up good, then iron over it with your plastic transfers underneath, you can get a very cool crinkly texture to your transfers, it would help disguise some of the shine they have. If it works with that plastic, you could also try burlap, lace, or other interesting textures.

    • @pennycandyys
      @pennycandyys 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also I’ve used heavier brown Kraft paper for this. If you use a shiny product to imprint with, the result would be shinier than using crumpled paper with no shine.

    @pixels2u ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Interesting technique, but using gel medium has several advantages: Not buying more plastic with more plastic waste ; Not breathing heated plastic vapors; Choice of matte, semi or glossy finishes; and a crystal clear background in finished transfer. Also no need for an iron or parchment paper. I like to transfer directly to my project where it blends in so perfectly & doesn’t need additional steps to cut out and glue the transfer (which looks more like a sticker instead of integrated image). A jar of acrylic medium lasts a long time.

    Respecting, Appreciating and Loving the Ocean and it's residents, I DO NOT BUY TRASH PLASTIC. That is the sure way to end the plastic travesty. Big Business won't sell what people won't buy. Is it easy? NO. But it is so far beyond worth it the word needs to be invented to describe joining the movement to conquer this crisis. I use only glass jars from food products or mason jars for food storage and for many beautiful crafts and other uses. I crochet or use quilted material to make holders to put the jars in that protect them even if I drop them. Even a lovely plastic craft becomes old and tossed in time. It's nice to give a friend a glass jar or two of food to take home not wondering if the plastic container will end up adding to the plastic disaster. The glass jars I use if ending in the OCEAN are broken and make sea glass people love to collect. Or if unbroken, land on a rock shelf or bottom maybe becoming a safe haven for the intelligently sentient octopus, or hundreds of other OCEAN life. I wish you had to see a beautiful whale dead on the beach with an autopsy revealing it's body filled with killing one-use and trash plastic, meaning it died a painful and starving death before it's time. Plastic bags and bottles and other popular small plastic products that float through the OCEANS imitating food sources are a #1 priority in getting responsible for all life on Earth. There won't be life without the OCEANS. Recycling has so many negatives and failures. If it worked why are there at least 5 Plastic Garbage Patches in our Oceans? One in the INDIAN OCEAN, 2 in the ATLANTIC OCEAN and 2 in the PACIFIC OCEAN. Not only are these Plastic Patches killing the life in our OCEANS thereby starving millions of humans dependent on their livelihood from the OCEANS to feed and support their families, the climate is also affected disastrously.
    Some plastic patches, as in the NORTH PACIFIC, are as huge as SPAIN, FRANCE and GERMANY COMBINED! OCEAN CLEANUP Scientists closely estimated the last Patch they worked on was 620,000 square miles!
    May you develop beautiful and imaginative craft videos for helping our OCEANS and WATERWAYS become healthy and balanced again for our future generations, as you are very good at teaching. I could never do what you do. I can only write begging for people to care and research the true facts. Please teach crafts without plastic or it's products like foam noodles, etc. Research where tests have found foam particles in CHILDREN'S BODIES as well as OCEAN MAMMALS. And remember plastic use as in the microwave, for example, is a factor in cancer and possibly in immune disfunctions. Please think over the effects of the multiple thousands of craft videos featuring trash plastic and the resulting millions of plastic sales. For our OCEANS and it's RESIDENTS. PLEASE.

    WOW What a cool idea I have taken the scrabble block tiles and made a Family nameboard and then I found a family saying on Pinterest and use the packing tape as a transfer but sometimes the word or the picture was bigger than the packing tape so this would be great I could basically take a whole page and transfer it or cut it apart and use it however needed the next time I do this I want to try this thank you for sharing because I was thinking that the cricket transfer tape would work just as well I don’t have a cricket but you can buy the transfer tape would be interesting to find out if it would.

    Interesting! I use baggies like these in fiberglassing but the inside of baggie is different from the outside. In order to have the baggie not stick to fiberglass, it needs to be the inside that is touching the fiberglass during layup.

    A few years ago I found a modeling book published back in the 1930's, it described how to make transfers using gummed paper tape. You paint you image on the gummed side, cut around the image leaving a boarder, soak the tape in warm water and bingo, you have a home made transfer. You probably know this already though.

      @@lou-anntedesco2567 Gummed paper tape is the old fashioned paper packing tape, to get it to stick, you had to wet or dampen the shiny side (gummed or glue side), hope that isn't too confusing of an explanation.

    A favorite kitchen hack of mine is to poke holes in a plastic kitchen garbage can bag. That way that bag doesn't get all puffy when you add items - which of course means fewer plastic kitchen bags enter the wastestream to threaten our precious natural resources. Works every time.

    I'm thinking that with a large bag, it could turn out to be something really neat to frame (without glass), especially if the design is completely covered. - or completely fills the bag area.
