any ideas on how to transfer a printed quote onto wood?

Try printing it on velum paper an use mod podg and just glue it...

I saw someone else had posted something about flipping the paper over and shading in the words with a pencil on the backside. Then put it on the wood and go back over it with the pencil and it transfers the letters to the wood. Then just paint over the pencil marks.

If that makes sense! LOL

Assuming your you are using pine - you should be able to trace the paper sign w/ something pointy to leave an indentation on the wood that you can then paint.

If you figure it out let me know. I have been trying different things for the past 3 or 4 mos. I recently bought transfer paper that you iron on. It melts and distorts the image too much. I tried stickers and the vellum and went over it with mod podge but wasn't really getting the desired effect that I wanted.

Or here is a link of how to transfer something using newspaper.
