It's a great technique any quilter can benefit from without the need to buy the special inject cotton sheets or different stiffeners which here where I live is impossible to find ,but even if you can easily obtain some yourself,this will be just another fun DIY to master
To start with you'll need -
- a photo printed with inject printer on your standard photo paper
- cotton fabric
- 70% alco-gel (Hygienic Hand Gel-for cleaning the hands without soap and water )
Soak the fabric with the ALCO GEL
Take the photo you want to transfer and place it face down on the wet cloth
Put some more gel onto the photo
Rub gently
Lift a tad to see how the transfer coming along (if not transferred well enough,rub the photo some more)
When you happy with the result,lift the photo and dry with fan
I coloured my transfer with aquarelle pencils to make the colours pop back cause the finished result does come out faded ,but either way ,I like this fun technique
P.S I don't know if this transfer method will work with professional lab printed photos,so be aware :)
and this is how the original photo will look like after you'd finish with it
You can do a little line-art to it as I did here or just toss it and enjoy your new "canvas printed picture"
