9781579905293: The New Book of Image Transfer: How to Add Any Image to Almost Anything with Fabulous Results

Synopsis

With the 40 fabulous projects in this eye-opening manual and the revolutionary new forms of transfer paper on the market, such as Lazertran, it’s possible to reproduce any design on a wide variety of surfaces effortlessly. The basic technique couldn’t be easier. Simply photocopy an image onto the paper, soak it for a minute, and the picture slides off as a transparent decal. Adhere it to nonporous surfaces such as metal, plastic, or fabric using the adhesive on the back of the film. Embellish a metal cocktail shaker and matching ice bucket with a retro 50’s design, scatter coffee beans on an espresso cup, or put playful sheep on a child’s pillow. It’s creative fun, and an inspiring start to a great new craft.

Reviews

Remember decoupage? Well, Haupert goes one better in this precise, pretty beginner's book on decorative image transfer. Want something new to spruce up old crockery, coordinate household furnishings, or add punch to plain walls? No matter if the surface is metal, fabric, glass, or plastic, Haupert explains how to give everything from pillows to glassware to candles a smooth, fun, new look. Her book is a true beginner's guide, with great, easy-to-understand sections about gathering supplies, creating decals, and transferring images to six different surfaces. Basics are followed by bright color photos and simple instructions for 40 projects, each project accompanied by suggestions for adding a personal touch. At the back of the book, Haupert gathers all the images she used in the projects in ready-to-copy form. Transfer paper, access to a color copier, and a few other easy-to-obtain supplies are about all that's needed to give a lift to "almost anything with fabulous results." Stephanie Zvirin
