DIY Video: Learn how to Photo Transfer with Mod Podge

Have you tried Mod Podge Photo Transfer?  It's fun and you can use this technique to make so many different craft projects.

One note!  Your image to transfer needs to be a toner copy of the image. Not ink-jet printed or an actual photo. You will most likely have to do this at a Kinko's type place. It can be a black and white or color copy and it works best on plain paper (not the thick kind).
