DIY gifts part seven: packing tape transfers

Posted by andrea tomkins in: File under crafty

Is there a small picture in a magazine you would like to transfer to an envelope or a notebook… or to any other hard surface? This is a project that I submitted to ReadyMade awhile back for an easy type of image transfer.

Click here to open the page with the instructions. Note that after you place the tape down on the magazine you have to rub it – hard – to get the image to adhere properly and squeeze all the air out. The back of a tablespoon will do the trick just fine.

You’ll be surprised to see the picture stays on the tape, and it will stick to just about anything… doorjambs, mirrors, whatever. :)
