“Photo transfers can be DIY Home Décor PART 2: Figure 1 done on a wide variety Photo Transfers of surfaces, allowing us to fill our homes with Bring more of your treasured memories and photos into your home décor with fun memories and photos photo transfers! Not only are they easy to do, but the potential is endless as you in every room!” can create DIY home décor with photo transfers on Scan the QR Code • Paper to watch Allison • Wood demonstrate the • Glass transfer process. • Metal • Fabric Every room in your home can feature some of your favourite memories and photos incorporated into a variety of DIY projects.The best part is no matter the surface, the photo transfer process is basically the same!! 40 Creative Scrapbooker | Fall 2022

Figures 2, 3, 4 LIFE THROUGH THE LENS Figure 5 STEP 1 Select photos to use. Reverse images in an editing program, as the transfer process will flip it back to the original. This is especially important if there are any words in the photo. STEP 2 Print image with a LASER printer or a copier with dry toner. Regular or light- weight paper is best.Trim or tear off extra paper around image. (Figure 2) STEP 3 Apply a layer of DecoArt PhotoTransfer Medium (Figure 3) to the front of the image AND another layer on the surface where you want the transfer (if using fabric, place a piece of wax paper behind the fabric). LET DRY for 15-20 minutes. STEP 4 Apply a second layer of medium to both the front of the image and surface. While still wet, place the image face down onto the surface. Gently smooth out wrinkles or air bubbles. STEP 5 Allow to dry for 8 hours. I know!! It’s so hard to wait, but this is important in order to have the most successful photo transfer. STEP 6 Once dry, sponge or brush water onto the back of the image. Let sit 2-3 minutes. Use your fingers or a soft sponge to gently rub away the paper layer leaving the photo transfer showing. Let dry, and then repeat until all paper is removed. (Figure 4) Apply a final layer of photo transfer medium on the top to seal it. You can use any of these DecoArt products for photo transfers: DecoArt Decoupage PhotoTransfer Medium, Americana Décor ImageTransfer Medium, Media Matte Medium. (Figure 5) Any surface that is not white, you can leave it natural, allowing some of the colour, grain etc. to show through, or you can paint it white first. Not only can we fill our own homes with DIY photo transfer projects, but they also make wonderful personalized gifts for family, friends, and loved ones! Creative Scrapbooker | Fall 2022 41

SPORTS Get Royal! What is it about royalty that inspires our imagination? Royal families have access to privilege, riches, and power, yet they are not immune to the trials and tribulations of the common folk and are not sheltered from heartbreak, infidelity, mental health crises, and the ravages of aging. Despite there being a tarnished side to the coin, we uphold royalty as the ultimate in living a good life. We still dream of a prince charming, or wish to be the queen of our castle, or even to be the queen of cows! We love these projects inspired by royalty and bow down to their creators! Long live the king and queen!
