Many years ago, I shared • How To Transfer Images onto Canvas - ... • and then I started getting requests asking if this same method could be used to embellish the exterior of glass vases. What has been happening here at Astar's Place? Much research and a • load of development - and finally I can share what I discovered! • Method one: • The end result gives a very soft frosted effect, but its all a bit fiddly because you have to ‘flip’ the image when you photocopy, other wise it will transfer across the wrong way or back to front. • Once finished and to cover or hide any paper that might still be visually present, mist with several light coats of clear vanish and they simply disappear. • Method Two: decoupaging an image onto glass. • Tip – once the image has completely dried, hit the exterior surface with • a couple of fine misty coats of clear vanish. • Method three: clear adhesive label sheets. • I used 'Herma' brand sheets, but I'm sure there will be many. I am so happy with the results. The best part - if you get tired of the imagery, simply peel it off and repurpose – to re-theme the vase. • I discovered when photocopying image across on to either the gloss or matte clear adhesive sheets, it is IMPORTANT to let the printed paper DRY thoroughly – otherwise it will SMUDGE! To be on the safe side I left mine over night to dry. • Also, I found it was easier to hand feed each adhesive sheet into the photocopy machine. • One last thing – ensure that the surface being embellished is super super super clean and free of any dust or finger prints! • Follow me on Facebook: / astarsplace • Instagram: / astarsplace • Go to http://www.astarsplace.com for more!
