Diy Christmas Gift with Dye Sublimation Transfer PAPER

Diy Christmas Gift with Dye Sublimation Transfer PAPER

Christams is a happy and very important holiday for many foreigners. First of all, merry christams

to everybody no matter where are you and what are you doing. Let’s just enjoy the chriatmas day.

Well, Christmas presents is a significant part for the day. However, what kind present will be the

Christmas present. In my opinion, the DIY transfer present will be popular and unforgettable. So,

today I will tell you how to transfer your postcard with heat transfer paper when the christamas

day coming.

Materials you may need:

- gel medium

- smooth plywood, 1/4 inch thick

- heat transfer paper

- high resolution, toner-printed image/photo

- foam brush

- spray bottle filled with water

- cotton rag, optional (saves your fingers a bit during the transfer)

Instructions:

1. Cut the plywood down to your desired sizes. For reference, the smallest ‘post card’ size

pictured is 3 1/2″ x 5″ and the largest letter size is 6 1/8″ x 11 1/2″.Prep the printed images b

y trimming down the heat transfer  paper.

2. Use the foam brush to spread an even layer of gel medium on the surface of the wood. Bare

spots or globs will cause problems with the transfer. Lightly spritz the printed side of the image

and lay it down on the gel-medium-covered surface. Align the image to the edges of the post card.

3. Smooth out the printed image using your finger, pressing from the center to the edges. The

heat transfer paper is damp which makes it easier to tear — so be careful. Allow the transfer

paper and post card to dry completely.

4. When it is dry, use the spray bottle to wet the transfer paper surface until the image is visible.

Carefully begin to remove the transfer paper. I used my fingers, and I used a damp rag to remove

the transfer paper.

5. After you’ve removed as much as you can, let it dry a little. As it dries, the white paper will be

more visible. Repeat until you are satisfied with the look. When it’s finished, top it with a clear

coat if you’d like.

Happy making.  A clear coat can give the image a lovely texture. And Merry Christmas.
