I'm subbing to your channel because this is a great idea....and, I hope to further annoy all the tree huggers that are whining about your tiny use of plastic. 🤭😂❤
Wow! I'm so grateful to wonderful people like you who have inquisitive minds and are not afraid to try and even sometimes I'm sure fail but push on then share the results. As I go into retirement I have all these project ideas to keep me entertained and stave off mental decline 😄☺🌹💖💖
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.
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!!
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.
Thanks so much for sharing this idea. I watched your packing tape method, but like this better because it’s not restricted by the size of the tape. Much appreciation.
Your cost-effective transfer techniques are awesome! It is amazing how you have been able to accomplish this and makes you so special for sharing these with your TH-cam audience. Can't thank you enough!😃🥰
this is really neat! I would also try printing on colored paper - you would get a slightly different tint to that slight haze that remains on the plastic and could plan for it to coordinate with the project
We learned a similar technique using clear contact paper and magazine pics. Rub very hard over the pic, then water soak... We made slides (to project on screen-aging myself). Thanks for reminding me of this memory. I really like your technique, think the results are great!
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.
I just like people like you so artistic creative and trying to recycle or upcycle things!! I ❤🌎😊 i like o All your ideas!! 👏👏👏 Thanks i like experimenting too. In my case i wanna upcycle plastic bottles. I'm on the try😀. Waiting for more videos dear lady💙 Regards from Argentina!
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.
That's awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I don't know if you have a Xyron machine, but my daughter bought one for me. It turns nearly anything into stickers.
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.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 now you actually have been blessed with a talent....you are always coming up with new inventions in crafting....like seriously this ideal is genius!!!! I know this not the first time I have visited your page and watched a video and said that very same thing over and over...💅💅 Your knowledge is such a wonderful gift and thank you for sharing with us💅💅 love 💗💗💗 this video.
i know its not transfer exactly but this is a good way to save a piece of paper that is falling apart by ironing the plastic bags to the front and back sort of like laminating it. very cool trick
What a cool idea. I don’t have a jet ink printer but I could do this with other things. Although I wish I did have the jet ink printer as there’s so much you can do with on your crates. You almost make want to go get one LOL. Thanks for all your great ideas. ♥️😊👍🌟🎄
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.
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.
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.
Easy way to solve the glossy problem with packing tape transfers -- brush on acrylic matt medium! Got this from Julie Feyfan Baltzer (sp?) years ago. Works like a dream.
Great method! Do you guys find this produces much in the way of fumes? I'm always wary of breathing up plastic. But it wouldn't stop me from using this... I'd just make sure it was a well-ventilated space. Thanks again for the technique.
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. TFS
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.

Great tips thanks for watching Cynthia
I think that the shelf paper is easier to work with because it has more body to it than the bag.
It reminds me of Water slide paper.
Also works as transfer tape with my Cricut
Is the finish glossy or matte? TY! 👍👋🥰
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.
Such a fun process. Thanks so much for watching.
I have used cereal bags it makes them look antique . there are different shade to the bags.they do well also.
Great idea
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!!
Seems like this method works especially well for aged and antique type projects. Another good tool in the arsenal.
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.
Does your technique come out GLOSSY?? Would changing to a MATTE GEL MEDIUM give me a MATTE look, I wonder??
The scrapbook paper on the glass jar was gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed
I was using a similar technique in the 70’s to make overhead transparencies from magazines for college. Nice to see the new take on it. ❤
That is so cool! I love that it is a retro technique!
Thanks so much for sharing this idea. I watched your packing tape method, but like this better because it’s not restricted by the size of the tape. Much appreciation.
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed
Really liked how the scrapbook paper turned out. Has a antique look. Thank you for sharing this technique. Will definitely try it. 😊👍🤗
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed Judy
Thank you for showing this. It isn’t nearly as opaque as I would like so I am glad I got to watch you doing it before doing it myself.
Yes it is a bit cloudy
Your cost-effective transfer techniques are awesome! It is amazing how you have been able to accomplish this and makes you so special for sharing these with your TH-cam audience. Can't thank you enough!😃🥰
Thank you so much!
Omgosh it almost makes it look like it's printed on vellum! I love this!
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed Christen
this is really neat! I would also try printing on colored paper - you would get a slightly different tint to that slight haze that remains on the plastic and could plan for it to coordinate with the project
I bet it would
We learned a similar technique using clear contact paper and magazine pics. Rub very hard over the pic, then water soak...
We made slides (to project on screen-aging myself). Thanks for reminding me of this memory. I really like your technique, think the results are great!
Thanks for sharing yes contact paper will work well
I did this too, many years ago in a class for elementary teachers.
Artex did the same thing with wrapping paper , simple to do and we made hundreds of little wall hangings.
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.
Yes exactly
yes and plastic wrap works well for this technique also. thanks for sharing
Yes it will
I so enjoy your techniques in crafting, you explain your thoughts and instructions so thoroughly.
Happy Spring!!
Thank you so much!
I love the military styles you made to print.
I'm so happy we can go back over your hints and tips. Really needed to watch how tondo the bag transfer. Thank you so much
Glad you are enjoying
I've seen other crafters use plastic wrap. Haven't tried it yet. Seems pretty cool.
The cool thing about the sandwich bag method is that you can see these onto things❤
It's so good!
Wauuu que alegría me dió el vídeo en español.😊
Hope it was translated well! I love being able to share my videos in different languages ❤️
Loved the one with the scrapbooking paper 😍

Would be worth testing and trying it out
It would definitely work if you put another layer of plastic between the decal and what you wanted to stick it to.
@@billiecampbell8425 I use plastic wrap.. I put one piece down before my transfer and another after, using parchment paper..
I’ve done this with just applying clear mac tac paper, and then wet it and rubbed it. I didn’t use an iron.
I just use cellotape/clear packing tape/scotch tape
Great experiment - the glass result was my favorite and wondered how a faux tea light would look like inside the glass jar
Glad you enjoyed
This is cool, I do the same technique with packing tape. No iron needed!
Great tip!
I like the way the melted plastic looks old and rough on the paper. Thanks for this great idea
Yes i love it also!
That's awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I don't know if you have a Xyron machine, but my daughter bought one for me. It turns nearly anything into stickers.

This was super cool. I will try to transfer on tissue paper. If it works, no need to rub off paper.
That might make it easier

Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
WOW!! Love it! Thank you for sharing you talents.
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed
Looks like you had a lots of fun, too!!! Will show my wife your channel, she loves scrapbooking.
That would be great thanks for watching Greg
Another great technique. Thank you 🤗🤗😗😙😚❤❤
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed
I remember back to the days when I was a kid in the 1960's - transfer from printed paper to plain paper using lighter fluid.
Yes I remember that also thanks for watching
Nice idea for those who do not have a laminator.
I love transferring! Thanks for the extra ideas!😊
You are so welcome!
This method might work great on recipe cards printed on regular paper. If the recipe gets smudged or dirty it could wiped clean😊. I’m going to try it.
Great idea thanks for watching glad you enjoyed
Cool. The texture of the last items reminded me of stained glass. That might be an idea to try...faux stained glass.
Ohhh great idea!!
Thank you for showing us another technique, I have been learning lots on this channel 🙂
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed Nancy
Great tip. Thsnk you. Although I love 7:49 the transparency of the tape so will use that too.
Glad it was helpful!

A wonderful idea. Thanks for this info. Im addicted to yr videos. 🙂
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed Andrea
Great idea. I just can't be doing with the rubbing part... 😊
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.
If you want to take the gloss of of packing tape transfers, try going over it with a very fine sandpaper to give it a matte finish
Yes I have a follow up video where I used a bus pad to take the shine off the packing tape and it worked perfect thanks for watching
All nicely done… wow. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing this technique! Cant wait to try it. Especially love the glass jar one.
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed Emily
Easy way to solve the glossy problem with packing tape transfers -- brush on acrylic matt medium! Got this from Julie Feyfan Baltzer (sp?) years ago. Works like a dream.

When you say transparent, the word you're looking for is translucent. The tape method is transparent. Melted plastic is translucent.
Whatever transfers you make how do you use these? Please make a video showing projects where these can be used
I like that it isn't as glossy as packing tape.
Yes it is more matte
greta hey there ; cool sandwich
Thanks for the video. The end results appears as a MILKY finish than a clear transparent finish. Just depends on the style you want in the end piece.
Glad you enjoyed
U are a genius! I love this!
Lots of fun 🤩
TFS! It may be fun to try and tint the haze on the back of transfer a simular color of the background.
Great idea! Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed Lynn
Amazing video you show close up and good to see how its done?
Glad you liked it
