Bridesmaid gifts

OMG THEY ARE SO CUTE!! What a great idea! Totally stealing your idea (if I even have time to crank some more DYI out) 🤪

View Quoted Comment Its easy! But it has to dry 12 hrs... i have better results at 24hrs. Need me to give ya instructions?

View Quoted Comment Omg yeah that would be awesome! How did you transfer the photos? And what kind of paint did you use?

Oh they look great and so personal I love this idea! You did a good job

View Quoted Comment Things you will need:
Mod podge (matte, satin, gloss. I used satin for a semi gloss)
Paint brush
Something flat like a ruler to get bubbles out (i bought a mod podge scraper)
Wood surface. I have tested it on unfinished, painted and stained. Works great.
Sealer (i used a wood deck sealed spray)
Laser or jet ink print of your picture

TO DO:
Paint the colored side of picture with mod podge thick.
Place face down on your wood surface.
Use ruler or flat item to get rid of bubbles to make sure every part of the picture is on the wooden surface.
Let dry a minimum 12 hrs. I had better results waiting 24 hrs.
12 or 24hrs later, take a damp wash cloth and rub the paper in gentle (VERY GENTLE) circular motions until all the white paper is gone. This is the time consuming part but ya get to watch your art appear.
Once free of all fuzzy white paper, let it dry and spray with sealer.

Hint: practice a few times on some cheap chunks of wood before you try it on a permanent or expensive surface. There will be some scratches but it gives that rustic look!

View Quoted Comment The paint, I used chalky paint for a antique look and then sealed it with wax to get the chalky look without the chalky texture. I used a white painters pen for the accents. And i used white antique stain for the lids before the picture but wasnt a fan of the white stain... barely could tell.
