DIY Photo Transfer

It's super easy to transfer your own photos, and it's really cheap too. All you need is:
- canvas or scrap wood
- gel medium (craft stores carry this)
- paint brush
- water
- rag or towel
All you need to do is cover your canvas or wood with a coat of gel medium ( a little heavy) then put apply your picture face down and remember the image will transfer backwards... Smooth out all the bubbles with anything you have really. I used a dry roller brush. Then let this dry overnight. In the morning you'll want to take a damp rag or towel, not too wet, and gently rub at your picture. The paper in the back will peel up layer by later. It's kind of messy, but worth the effort I think. These make cool, thoughtful gifts and it's super cheap. :)
