One of the questions I get asked frequently is “How do you transfer graphics (images/words) to your furniture?”
I love to use graphics on some of my painted furniture, like this beautiful antique chest. You can read about this makeover HERE.
… and one of my favourite places to find antique graphics is The Graphics Fairy. They have literally thousands of free downloadable and printable graphics.
I have a couple of tutorials via blog and Youtube on transferring graphics, but last month, when my husband offered to help me with his awesome video production skills, to make a few tutorials, I knew I had to show some of the ways I use to transfer graphics.
In this three part video series, I’ll show you three of the methods I use and these are not the only ones I use, or the only ones out there – there are MANY. In these videos you’ll learn how to transfer graphics using:
1. Freezer paper
2. Mod Podge
3. Carbon paper (graphite paper)
Here are the videos:

2. Transferring Graphics Using Mod Podge or Transfer Gel:

Thanks for watching and I hope you learned something from these tutorials.
If you have any questions, please ask below or in the comment section on the youtube video channel site.
