Select the picture you’d like to print. Note that the result on the wood will show the mirrored version of your picture, so make sure you flip your picture horizontally beforehand. Also, don’t use a picture printed in photo gloss paper. Printing the image on a thin A4 sheet will give the best results.
Pick a smooth piece of wood. You can use any type of wood you’d like to have your image printed on. Make sure that the surface of the wood is smooth. You can always use a small piece of sandpaper to make it more smooth if you’d like. The wood also has to be clean and dry.
Get an (old) plastic card. For this, you can use any type of card that you don’t need anymore, such as an expired credit card.
Snag some scissors (optional). You’ll only need scissors to get rid of the white border around your picture after printing. This step is optional but highly recommended.
A paintbrush
Get photo transfer glue. There are many types of glue that you can use. You can probably find some in a local craft shop or you can always order it online.
An old sponge or cloth
Sandpaper (optional)
Transparent varnish (optional)
