In a previous post, I shared a link that explains you to use cling wrap to add an image to fabric.
Here is one that shows how to use it to carve an image into a soft surface. I have used cling wrap to soften an impression using a cookie cutter but tracing an image and then using the cling wrap as a drawing guide is cool! I bet it would work on lots of surfaces.
Pop on over to the blog Ceramics Monthly for more about cling wrap embossing and image transfer.
Cling wrap embossing is a technique that involves using clear plastic wrap to transfer an image onto a surface. To do this, you will need a printed image, some clear plastic wrap, and a tool with a smooth, hard surface (such as a rolling pin or brayer).
Here’s how to do it:
- Place the printed image face down on a clean, flat surface.
- Lay the clear plastic wrap over the top of the image, making sure that it is smooth and wrinkle-free.
- Use the rolling pin or brayer to carefully press down on the plastic wrap, applying even pressure to the entire surface.
The image should now be transferred onto the plastic wrap. You can then remove the wrap from the surface and use it to decorate a variety of objects, such as greeting cards, gift tags, or ornaments.
Image transfer is a similar technique that involves transferring an image from one surface to another. There are several different methods for image transfer, including using heat, water, or solvents to loosen the ink from the original surface and transfer it to a new one. One common method for image transfer is to print an image onto a piece of wax paper, moisten the back of the wax paper, and then press it onto a surface (such as wood or canvas) to transfer the image.
