Print the sections out, rub them on, seal with a clear sealer.



Test it first to be sure the color / ink is stable enough.

What are some possible (easiest and cost effective) ways to transfer an image to wood? The task is to duplicate the rather complicated hand-painted design on an old section of molding/custom ceiling to a new recreation of that at another location. The painted design on the sideboards is shadowed...

Answer 5

Also check out some of the techniques listed on this page of my site:

You could also make liquid polymer clay "decals" or use heat transfer paper techniques ("t-shirt transfer" papers) on that page as well.

Answer 6

My method of using mod podge* or clear school glue goes on the already printed paper.

1. Print your design or designs onto paper.

2. Apply the mod podge* to the print. It takes 2 or 3 coats. Let dry.

3. Wet the side of the paper that does not have the mod podge* on it. When paper is slightly saturated, gently peel away the paper & this will leave the print adhered to the film of mod podge*.

4. Set aside & let dry.

5. Depending on the design, laying the dull side towards the wood, you can attach this to the wall by either using mod podge* or any clear poly-urethane. Be sure to squeegee all the air bubbles out. This is really important.

Let this dry completely.

6. You can now seal your work with any clear acrylic sealer, including outdoor clear mod podge, clear acrylic brush on sealer.



* I used the outdoor mod podge because of its durability.
