Tips and Tricks

Fonts must be printed mirror-inverted.
For used looks, tear out images, do not cut them out.
The medium must not be spread over the pasted image during application.

How it is done:

Saw the book end in the shape required.
Print out the photo back-to-front on a laser printer and cut out.
Paint the clean and dry background as well as the surface of the printout fully with Marabu Photo Transfer medium. Do not leave out any areas.
Place the printout with the printed image on the background and smooth down with a scraper or finger. Remove any excess medium straight away. Do not spread the medium over the paper applied. Leave to dry for 2 hours or dry with a hair dryer for ca 8 minutes.
Wet the paper printout with water and soak it well. Carefully rub the paper with a finger or sponge. Repeat the procedure until all paper layers have been removed.
Screw the corners onto the wooden plates.
Paint over with Aqua matt varnish to remove paper fibre residues and protect the picture.
