Graphic Transfer with Tissue Paper

Hi Everyone! I hope your weekend is going well for you!

Please indulge me here. I was not satisfied with this project, my sewing table. It just didn't look right. 

Soooo.... I decided to try a new way of transfer. Well, new to me anyway. Has anyone tried this. Let me know.

 I thought that tissue paper, the ordinary kind you use for wrapping and lining boxes, would work. Since it is very thin, using Mod Podge, just might work.

I used a rotary cutter that I have for quilting projects to cut the paper to the size of computer paper. 

Then I carefully taped all around the edges to a piece of card stock, for stability in the printer.

I printed my image from Graphics Fairy. 
Isn't she just wonderful!

I carefully cut around as much of the image as I could. Then Using a foam brush, I coated the area with Mod Podge. Then I VERY CAREFULLY applied the tissue over the medium. It can easily tear and it did, but I was able to patch it pretty well.


Let it dry completely and then add additional coats of MP. The directions say to sand with 400 grit paper and use fine steel wool, but I haven't done that yet.


I think this looks much better, do you?

Peace and joy to you!
