How to Transfer Photo In Wood:

Step 1

Print your photo in a standard printer paper, then smear the glue all over the photo with a foam applicator until completely covered, flip the photo over, and lay it on top of the wood. Press it down nice and flat, then blow it with a heat gun to dry the gel, and then set it aside to dry completely.

Step 2

Spray the water over the dried photo, then carefully rub the paper off as shown in the video, and keep spraying as it dries out or as needed. You can use an X-Acto knife for more precision and to expose more details, you can also add watercolor for more design as demonstrated in the video.
