Few weeks ago we posted a project of image transfer on a Wooden Chopping Board and I thought I would do one more item to combine both together for a
kitchen corner decoration, so I chose a wood plate to apply the same
technique. Here it is the finished
project:
The graphics are from one my favorite books of Dover Publications about
“Old Advertisement Cuts” which I love very much, and I put them all together in
a composition.
I painted small squares in red and white color in all border of the plate.
The transfer was done very easy in 24 hours with the wonderful Mod Podge
and the procedure is more or less the same one as the previous project of the Wooden Chopping Board, but I will write the steps in this post as well.
Materials:
- Wooden Plate or any other wood surface you want to work with
- Brush, sanding paper & pencil
- Liquid Gesso
- Acrylic Paints: White, cream white and red
- Mirror prints of the selected graphics to be transferred
- Mod Podge
- Container with water and a cloth
Step by Step:
1. Prepare the surface. Sand it softly and give 1-2 coats of
liquid gesso. Once the liquid gesso is
dry, sand it softly again to get a smooth surface.
2. Paint 1-2 coats of the cream white acrylic paint to
the whole surface.
4. Cut the paper as close to the
edge of the graphic as possible, so once the transfer is done, you have less
paper to remove around the edges. Add
the Mod Podge to the front of the image or graphic, where the ink is printed
and glue them to the area where you want the transfer to be done. Remove any bubbles and let it dry completely
for 24 hours; do not touch it in between.
5. Wet your fingers deeply in
water and pass them on top of the glued graphics, the paper will get wet and
you will be able to remove it little by little leaving behind only the ink that
has been transferred. Do it very softly,
with care and lot of patient and remove the excess of water with a cloth. You may have to repeat this process 3-4 times
until you feel there is no more paper left and only the transferred ink
remains.
6. Paint small red and white squares on the border of the plate. To do this, I simply took a small brush, deep it in the color and painted the square using the same shape of the brush.
7. Once all the paper is fully removed from the surface, let it dry and
apply 2 coats of Mod Podge in the entire project to preserve it and protect it;
and viola!! your beautiful transfer is finished. Note:
This wooden plate is for decorative purposes only; it should not be
used as kitchen utensil.
This project is very easy to do and in just few steps
you get to make a simple but yet very cute decorations for your kitchen in the
antique looking style. Here it is with the Wood Chopping Board:

ReplyDeleteThat's lovely. I'll try this soon once i can find all the materials :-)
ReplyDeleteWow - I'm having the hardest time transferring a graphic on to a dresser I'm doing. Maybe I'll try it your way! My printer is an inkjet though so that may make a difference. It sure turned out cute!

ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. I love the pops of red!
ReplyDeleteErika, the two of them are so cute together. I have yet to try this transfer method. I really want to. I appreciate you sharing the instructions and linking up with Share Your Cup.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
