This DIY was super easy and I am so happy with how it turned out! I've done photos to canvas transfers before, but wanted to figure out a more theme-appropriate way to display our engagement photos (by the incredibly talented Kinsey Mhire) at the wedding. I saw this post on A Beautiful Mess a couple of weeks ago, and knew I had to try it on tree cookies.
I didn't go out and buy a roller like they suggested. And I didn't use photo paper--just regular printer paper!
What you'll need:
-Printed photos on regular ol' paper.
(Make sure you resize the photos to fit the area you want them to cover. I did this in Photoshop.)
-Mod Podge
-Paint brush
-Tree cookie (you can chop 'em yourself, or find them in the wood aisle at Hobby Lobby)
-Scissors
I began by cutting the photo to fit the surface of the wood. I then covered the front of the photo with mod podge with my paint brush and gently stuck it face down to the tree cookie. Since I didn't buy a roller, I used the flat edge of my phone to smooth out any air bubbles--you could also use a credit card, or just about anything, really.
The hardest part was waiting an hour to see how it would turn out! After letting it dry, I took a wet rag to the paper and began gently dabbing/rubbing it until the entire surface was damp. I slowly peeled the edges as well as I could, and used the rag to gently rub the rest of the white paper off to reveal the picture!
TADA!
I can't wait to do a few more!
