Designer Julia Andrus & Ranger Industries have developed a fantastic product PERFECT FABRIC MEDIUM that can do very cool things.
One of which is using the product to transfer images onto fabric, wood or paper. HERE'S HOW.
Use your finger to apply PERFECT FABRIC MEDIUM to the photocopied image. Rub it on but work quickly.
Lay the coated image, FACE DOWN, on whatever surface you want to transfer to. Here we used a store bought white summer visor.
Use a bone folder to make sure your edges are securly down on the item you're transferring to. Rub across the entire transfer.
Cut out a post-it note to make a mask and hide the paper transfer which is still in place, face down, on the project.
Spray water on the visor to pre-wet it & help to soften the colors you'll spray next. Spray colors on the visor from the Color Wash bottles.
Heat set everything with your heat gun
Remove post it.
Spray the paper transfer with water from the fine mist spray bottle.
Use your fingers to work away the paper backing revealing the transferred image underneath.
As you peel away the paper, intermittently heat gun the paper. This will show you where there might be any leftover paper from the transfer that you weren't able to see before.
Once done, stamp on the visor (which I found to be an accomodating surface because it bent) with a heat set type of ink - like Brilliance.
