How to iron transfer color pictures to wood

This is one of the ways that we add design to the wood box that is made in my GTT Class at Wasatch Junior High.

did you use normal paper or transfer paper?

[TheMrByrom]

@TreeckoMaster1

normal paper was used for this video. Transfer paper would work too but it would cost more.

I noted your water reservoir looks empty. Is the steam feature off for this technique?

[TheMrByrom]

@TheArkyrebel

I have not used steam.

I'm looking to do a black and white japanese cherry blossom tree. Can I stain it?

[TheMrByrom]

@michaelhearit

Try a sample one first to see what happens. The ink may smear. Let us know if it works.

pretty sweet! imma try this!! 

[MvrZwarts]

Would this technique also work on leather?

[TheMrByrom]

@drgnfly1007

I don't think that it will work for fabric without special paper.

[drgnfly1007]

Will this technique work to transfer the image to t-shirts or other fabric as well?

@parimzparimz

it is regular paper with a laser jet printer. At the end of the video I show my picture on the back of the wood. both the box and my picture were coated with clear lacquer after the pictures were put on.

@drivemakeshoot

The heat from the iron may cause the paint to do strange things. I would not use stain because it would make the lighter colors and white to not show as well. Also another person mentioned that the heat from the iron caused the glue to separate on a panel.

[drivemakeshoot]

would this work over a painted or stained surface?

Great job. Thks for the info. Someone asked me to do a laminated photo to replace a stuffed animal memorial and I think this would be so much better. Tks again.

I enjoyed the video, thank you. Please tell me what wood to use? and if this was printed onto transfer paper or just regular paper? Thanks again :-)

[jawadsaadi]

Amazing, I am skipping work, to go into my shop and try this

[RealsleepyheadzzZZ]

wow, thanks for the video!!! have to try this asap!!!

@TheMrByrom ok thanks for the quick response

[TheMrByrom]

@xxdjcharlierockxx

I have not tried those. Do some small test pieces and see what works best. I have only used lacquer.

[xxdjcharlierockxx]

hi mr byrom, this is really nice.i am building a table and was wondering if i can use a spray poly over this to give it a nice shine. also it will be walked on so what would you recommend? polyurethane or maybe a coat or two of  clear Shellac? or just a regular wood sealant? thanks cant wait to try this out

[tinabesqueena1]

can you use a photo? like a family portrait?

[lucianasufficool]

@TheMrByrom after sanding or after ironing?



[TheMrByrom]

@lucianasufficool

Just sanded. I put on a clear coat after to protect it.

[lucianasufficool]

Is this wood treated with a primer or anything? Just well-sanded?
