Make a transfer of your favorite image using clear packaging tape! This is a fun, economical way to create uniquely themed paper and embellishments for scrapbooks and other projects. With just a little amount of work, you will see your photo appear in vibrant color on the tape.
Place a strip of packaging tape across the part of the color copy that you would like to transfer.
Rub the tape down in both directions with the long edge of a ruler, eliminating bumps and bubbles.
Apply more tape where desired and repeat.
Soak the taped image in a bowl of warm water for at least five minutes.
After five minutes, vigorously rub the white side (the back) under running water in a circular motion with your thumbs to remove all the paper. If no running water is available, continue to rub the paper off into the bowl of warm water.
Blot dry to reveal the transferred image. It will closely resemble the image you had originally, but will have a transparent quality.
