Coat the printed side of the photo with a layer of mod podge, then glue it into the wood, face down. Wait for 24 hours to let the photo dry into the wood.

Step 2
Grab a wet clean cloth and rub the photo on it, making sure that you do it gently. Only rub off the topcoat of the paper, then keep wetting and gently removing any white areas of the paper. Be careful to not rub off the printed photo, then add one more coat of mod podge to give it a nice seal, let it dry and you’re done!
