⭐️Updated Video • How To transfer A Pict... ⭐️
When I first uploaded this video I had to disable comments after 170,000 views due to so many people telling me I said Mod Podge wrong you can only imagine how over whelming it became I also had so many rude mean comments from people that are just looking to cause pain and hurt. My amazing subscribers were defending me and got the backlash I could not allow it any further.
Now let's jump to 2020 and over 2 Million views I still get tons of positive emails and facebook messages over this video people apologizing for others actions and tons of questions. So I'm ready to see comments again I hope you find this video helpful and please feel free to ask question.
Thank you to everyone that has watched this video! And thank you to everyone that has sent so many positive emails and messages along the way :)

I’m not even a subscriber and I think anyone disliking or judging this sweet lady is pathetic. Imagine eagerly sharing a hobby of yours only for people to take the time out of their day to nitpick
Thank you for your support ❤️
I agree!
What a lovely and personal gift, sure to be treasured. The design and materials are a perfect fit with his western attire. Great job with the video too.
Crystal Ann , great job! For people who want less knots on their pieces of wood planks. It's best to use a premium wood, such as Maple wood or Birch wood. It's lighter in color and images will show through nicely! Thanks for sharing your artistic video, Crystal Ann!😊
Oh my goodness! I haven't seen this process since my early grade school days (80's). This is so beautiful!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
1. When doing this, make sure you reverse (mirror) the image before printing since it will be reversed when you apply it to the wood. (Reflect is usually the transform tool.)
2. Printers don't print "white" so whatever color the wood is will show through onto the white areas. So this works best with light colors of wood.
3. Deep knots or irregularities should be filled with wood filler then sanded.
4. If you apply a Photoshop artistic filter (like brush strokes) then you can use the top layer of Mod Podge to sort of match the brush strokes in the photo. This will give it a bit of a hand-painted look.
Thank you but what paper do I use? Contact paper or the Transfer paper with Cricut? She mentioned Contact paper
@@carolporter7094 She used printer paper
thank you!! thank you for being so detailed in your explanation of how to! You Rock and i actually learned something!! LOL thanks!
You are so welcome and Im so happy to hear this :)
Thanks for listing so much detail in your description! Making this for my great aunt for Xmas! Love this idea! Thank you
I just found you and I love that you show wonderfully done crafts with affordable products instead of plugging expensive products! I have everything to do this and can't wait to try it!
Really cool! one tip for someone making a larger picture, is to begin from the center and radiate out to the corners when rolling out the air bubbles. thumbs up!
💘thank you for sharing..I have never seen this before..looks wonderful and personal for gifting..💜GOD BLESS YOU
You are so welcome and thank you so very much
I just started working with wood and am so excited about trying this!! Thank you for the detailed explanation and sharing your talent 😊
Your welcome ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this. I was totally convinced I had to buy a bunch of fusion products and an iron to get a decent transfer. I already own the modge podge and now I feel confident because of your video that I can do this! Thank you so much for taking something that is so difficult for me and making it seem possible. This is the first time I ever watched one of your videos and I am now subscribed and can't wait for the next one. Thanks again
Hi
This is amazing! My mom didn't want us to buy any presents this year. She said that with everything going on, she didn't want my brother and I spending any extra money, so she's always talked about this method, and I thought I'd print out my favorite pictures of my brother, Mom, and I and make a couple of these. Having her explain it was one thing, but of all the videos I watched so that I could actually see it being done, this one was my favorite! I LOVE the addition of the vinyl and staining the wood gave it a little something extra. Mine are drying right now and I hope I can get as flawless a finished product as you did, lol. Great job! Now I want to experiment even more!
I agree! I'm leaning towards making Lil handmade things fir Xmas. My only problem is making time to just relax and do this! For me a gift like this would mean more to me than something store bought.
I do the same thing for friends and family and use the Mod Podge Ultra, chalk matte finish and it works the best. It leave no brush strokes and the final finish is excellent.
I always come back to this video for reference. Thank you for posting and teaching me this awesome craft!
Love this ❤️ thank you
Great video and fantastic "Transfer A Picture To Wood" instructions! Thanks so much for sharing. Good luck and two thumbs up 👍👍
@crystalann I truly hope that you always continue to do these amazing peices and much more. For someone that is so creativly handicapped you make it look so easy and the way you explain everything is wonderful. I love what you did and I'm sorry that people always look to criticism instead of positivity. While listening to your video, I was hoping to get a list of your rollers and the sponge you used. . . . So much love and light your way!!
I love this! I made it for my mom on Mother’s Day with the picture of me, her and my sisters! 🥰❤️
Awww I love this I bet she loved it ❤️
So beautiful. I have failed many times at doing this but your video has helped! Thank you! So glad I found this video!!
Hi. This is only the second video of your’s I have watched, & I opened the description for info and was shocked by your explanation regarding this post. There were people treating you so poorly you had to disable comments!!??? That’s just people who only feel better about themselves by belittling others!🤯I’m glad you’ve been able to get into the headspace to repost and ignore all mean things people say/said. Personally, I don’t understand the reason for the negativity for the piece. It turned out SO AWESOME!💛💛💛💛
I was really impressed with your creativity. For the benefit of us in the UK, MOD Podge is PVA glue with water added. I feel inspired. Thank you
Thank you so much Im so happy to hear you are inspired and thank you for the PVA info :)
Hi john, ways the ratio of PVA glue to water that's recommended for the MOD podge?
Thank you
Absolutely amazing! I never knew it was so easy. I was thinking about paying someone to do this but now I see I can do it myself. Thank you for this. I love to take pictures so now I can showcase my own artwork in my house!
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for the detailed instructions! That is awesome! Have a great weekend :)
This is amazing!!! I was going to build my daughter a bedroom set and have a professional airbrush the pictures she loves on them. After watching your video now I can do this much better than I thought and It will be 100% Daddy made!!!! Thank you very much!!! 🙏
I love this! I’m a wood worker, and this will be used for special gifts. Thank you. Shalom!
That’s amazing 🤩 ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing. Wow. I love it. God bless💕
awww Thank you so much
Thank You! I just tried this for the first time, following you! I love it! It was just that easy! I did a photo of my son's wedding and it is beautiful! Thank You very much.
Excellent video Crystal. I love being inspired by new ideas and our son is getting married next year so this aligns with my procrastination.
What a great idea! I have so many gifts in mind. Thank you very much.
Awesome project! What keeps the vinyl letters from peeling away? It seems like a final coat over them may keep them from doing that. What is your experience with them sticking long term?
Very nice presentation and such a lovely gift ! Thank you for sharing . I can’t wait to try it !
That is AWESOME! I have lots of scrap wood, a "dremel" (wen rotary tool), woodburner, lots of paint, router, and clock pieces....sooooo....THIS gives me LOTS of ideas!! Thanks!!!
Would it be better to stain it first? Can you use polycrylic as a sealer instead od mod podge?
I luv the way you did this specially the black lettering makes it stand out with matching black in his waist coat
I loved it, a very nice job...you can also use crystal clear epoxy resin for a super gloss coating.
I'm glad I read your comments because I was going to say how lame I was for watching this 2 yrs. after the fact. I never realized how easy it was to transfer pictures. I love it & you did an excellent presentation. (New subbie)
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely love ❤️ it!!!
What kind of wood did you use? I would love to do this for my family for Christmas.
That looks amazing, I'm thinking of doing a coffee table with the same effect and was wondering if you could put a varnish or something else onto the pictures with out affecting them?
I used to do this same thing on motorcycle tanks. But I would spray clear lacquer from a spray can on both pieces and stick the photo to the tank. After it dried, I would rub it off with water.
@@Telelikeitis Thank you so much! Did the photo have to be laser printed or any special paper?
Wow thank you so much for this awesome idea! I'm a photographer and was looking for a new medium to submit my art in a local fundraiser. Excellent tutorial!
Love this idea and thank you
Wow. That is so Awesome! I have always wondered how to transfer pictures. Your instructions were so clear and made it look easy. I can’t wait to try it out. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank you..that helps so much. you are a great teacher.
awww Thank you so much
When you use the roller, do you use any pressure to help spread the Mod Podge as well as remove bubbles?
Yes I did :)
Great work! Appreciate your tuitorial!!
Great job Crystal and I like how you affiliated yourself with the products.
awww thank you
That's gorgeous!
I can’t see how anyone could dislike this video unless they wanted an instant gratification type video. Like a 7 second video isn’t going to as amazing as this!! This is the most perfect video!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat p]]p⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰
What a cool project! I picked up several ideas and techniques that were new to me. Thank you for your time and thank you for "hanging in there" in spite of the rude people. I truly appreciate you!
You are so talented. I’m going to try the mod podge on wood technique. Thanks for the great tutorials. Nice videos with great instructions. Thanks a lot.
OMG I love it thank you for always sharing.....Can't wait for more videos from you....
Thank you so much :)
That picture's so cute!
awww thank you so much
What kind of paper did you use
Thank you so much for sharing this! It turned out great! I can’t wait to do this,holy cow! I’m excited!
Wow, I never knew this was possible. I cant wait to try this out. Thank you a great tutorial!!!
Great lil project! Next time try sanding the egdes before applying stain for a very clean look.
Thanks for the tip
Love, love, love the picture!!
Thank you so much
TFS you did a great job and the end results came out beautiful. Their going to LOVE it.
Thank you so much she has it setting on a table when first walk in the house. it makes me feel so proud :)
Thank you so much i really enjoyed watching it and I'm trying to do it now 😃
Thank you so much so glad your trying this out let me know how it went
Awesome tutorial! Have you done any pictures bigger than printing paper size? I make skimboards & skateboards and was looking to do something like what you have just done😎🤙🏽
That will be awesome. I have done a canvas that was 18x24 you just want to use paper that is printer paper thick if that makes since you can go to staples or kinkos and have them print it for you :)
Hi, please help. My pictures always come out with so much whitish spots even after coating, what can I do to avoid that?..
That was really awesome. Love it. What a great idea for a gift or for crafting. Thank you. Going to do this. Looks easy enough. Lol. You make it look easy. Lol.
Love it! It took me a good while to find this method with the ink prints instead of others ive seen that use laser print
I’m seeing comments saying you rock.
They are wrong.
You metal.
Thanks for this, I’m going to put an album cover onto a guitar
was that comment worth the effort?
oh wow that's going to be amazing what album cover ?
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Enjoyed your DIY. I am definitely going to try it as I like transfering pictures to natures canvases. Great job.
You’re awesome ! Very thorough and I appreciate you taking the time to film
So Cool!I have got to try this.
Thank you and I hope you do
Hi. Fantastic video! I'm new to crafts and was wondering about the font transfer. I heard you mention using transfer paper and vinyl but where did the original text characters come from? Did you print them using a printer or have them custom made online?
Thank you!
Your demo is just beautifully done! I really wish people who need to be negative about whatever would just leave generous people like yourself alone!! I'm so sorry that you got harassed! You do not deserve it. I mainly just wanted to offer heartfelt thanks for your thorough and extremely useful lesson.
Hi, I'm really interested in trying this for myself. I noted that you transferred vinyl. This is a technique I've not seen before - how did you create the vinyl?
love this. my question (not sure if I missed it in your tutorial), after picture is transferred can you use a poly coat right away of must I use the mod posh first? can you use a stain over it as well?
Yes you sure can on both questions :) hope this helps
So u put wood stain on after the photo???
This couple actually got divorced last month, and I picked up this art work in an estate sale. I don't know the couple, but I like it and CrystalAnn's workmanship has held up nicely. I'd say two years later it even looks better.
Lol nice story.
They are still married and this is the first thing you see when you walk through the door 🤪
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat I stand corrected
@@elmoblatch9787 🤣
Exactly the video i was looking for!!! Thank you
Thank you for showing this project. I was wanting to learn this method of pictures on wood. Love it!
What do you use to rub those names on please let me know . What a good job you did
In ref to the rollers... you could just use a rolling pin or the bar from a standing paper towel holder, just an fyi.
Thank you for sharing. I really like this. I just don't like that knotty hole. But creatine
You are so welcome and I totally agree on the knotty hole :)
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat I like the knot .it looks organic
Thanks a lot.
You said any paper can be used as long as it's thin, right?
Will it work if I use a DI printer?
I really liked how you explained and told us where to buy products I really liked this , very nice👍
The rollers are called brayers, thought that might help some of you to find what you are looking for when searching online for them
I absolutely loved watching this video!! Not only is your project gorgeous, you're voice is so soothing and relaxing. Ok, I'm not weird, but it does make a difference when you have a relaxing tone to your voice. 😂 Love how you explain everything as you go along and fast forward during the painting of the mod podge. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us. Your friends are lucky to have you to make such a special gift for them. ❣️
I just see this thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat WOW! I can't believe that was a year ago. Too funny. :)
@@LorraineCastellon-Rowe I know it ❤️
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat 🥰🥰🥰
Wow! Just amazing. Thank you for making this video just what I was looking for:)
Glad it was helpful!
CrystalAnn with colored pictures do you do the same thing? Your pic was more like sepia right?
You could use painters tape to outline the picture before using the modge podge the second time around to make sure you don't have anything going over your border so will be easier to do the most pause
Hello thank you so much for sharing and Happy New Year! 😊
You mentioned in one of the comments that Is possible to paint the wood with a light coat of white stain to bring out the colors of the image. My question is: Is it possible to paint the wood with white paint and then add the images after?
Thank you! 🙏🏼😊
I know this is late but yes
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat Thank you for answering this question because I’m currently making a 6 drawer mini shelf and using this method but I need it painted white first and I’ve had so many issues. But practice makes perfect and I’m hoping I finally figured this out! Thank you!
Absolutely amazing!! Is the equipment to do these venyls a big investment? I love the look and see myself creating gorgeous presents but if you need to spend hundreds of $ it makes prolly no sense as a hobby crafter.
you can get one for around $200 or check your local swap sites for a used one I would get the cricut explore air 2. not only could you use it for vinyl you can make shirts paper crafts ect.. hope this helps
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat thank you very much for your quick reply! I will do that! It is just another level when you put the vinyls on the picture! Awesome video!!
No problem and I totally agree :) and Thank you so much
Great video!! Very informative and well laid out, Thanks. Can you tell me the font that you use for the lettering?
This is so beautiful! How long does it take for wood to start to change color, after how many months or years? Darkens or turns yellow?
Did you mirror the image before you printed it or is it a reverse image on the wood. Love it.
Yes I reversed the image before I printed it :) and thank you so much
Does it matter if it is reversed or not? I see you have been asked this. I thought it is only an issue if you have words?
Thank you
It doesn't have to be, but if you want the photo to look like the original it's best.
Awesome! I wanna try one of these, can you do a video on a canvas type? Or do you have one?
I will be doing a video on this soon :)
Thank you for sharing, I love what you did, it looks amazing. Xx
I am totally Amazed. Thank you for sharing your ideas 🌸
How can anyone dislike this? ? I mean so creative and it looks beautiful
awww Thank you so much
I have a question on the piece of wood will it effect the picture if the wood is darker?
Honestly I have not tried it on darker wood but I would think so
wow- i never thought i could add a photo!! this is super cute!!!
Very cool. Ive been wanting to do this. Great video. I just think it needs a final coat of something to seal it all in. What would you use? Also, just to be clear you picture need to be printed on paper. Is that right and not an actual photo.
Love the tutorial. My question is: I don't have picture (physical Photo's, but photos that I have saved on my computer) can I print these pictures and use them? I do have an ink jet printer. TIA
yes you can :) and thank you so much
Thank you so much. Now I can share this to my Craft group.
Do you have to use a cricket for the lettering or can it be printed from a computer?
you can ask some one local it would cost you around $3-$5 ❤️
Awesome
What the name of the paper plz
@@maryahmad3355 it's just normal printing paper. thinnest possible, paper printed on a printer.
Thanks for sharing! I've been wanting to make one of these forever. I think with your easy to follow tutorial I will be able to do just that. I think you did an awesome job... Like I tell the girls I work with you talk your way and I'll talk mine. lol To each their own. I tell them it's my country accents. You can't please everyone all the time and I don't see them making a video to help others! Thanks!
awwww Thank you so much for this and your so welcome
nice video. what was that gizmo you used to trim the pic with those straight edges? ty
This has come out to be beautiful. Just one question can I use letter sticker available in market
That's a good idea, I don't own a cricuit [sp]. Her 1 suggestion of you can modge podge I've the letters, might be a good idea if there flat, so they don't side off and head for them thar hills 😂
Question please: What kind of paper did you use for the picture? Just regular white copy paper or was it a photo paper? This was amazing and so very unique!
Cheap printer paper !
Can ypudo this over chalk paint?
Looks beautiful. I'm rewatching beautiful. I goofed on my cow. I did , so I wanted to see different ways.
Thank you 😊
Good evening
I had just typed in how to transfer to wood and you popped up. So glad you did. I love your channel.💞💞TFS. And I'm so sorry you got rude and nasty people who bothered to comment 😪. I think their just bothered that you do such a fantastic job. People like that have to knock others to feel good about them selves. Again I think your fabulous!. Have a fantastic weekend. Happy crafting. God bless
