This project taught me that it’s very easy to transfer a simple copy paper print to any substrate with the help of Mod Podge Photo Transfer Medium (the hardest part is waiting 24 hours for the
medium to dry). I found photos of my parents as kids, and thought they’d work perfectly for this project. I
reversed the photos in my design software, and printed them on my black and white printer. I then transferred them to 8in x 10in canvases us- ing the transfer medium and a spackling spatula. Once the medium was dry, I scrubbed off the paper with a wet sponge to reveal the finished product. I love how the transfer medium helps play up the vintage look of these photos which have found a home in our built-in shelves in the living room.

I created this banner as an anniversary gift for my sister and brother-in-law using their wedding photos. I thought they could either hang it up and enjoy it everyday, or just bring it out and use it to celebrate their anniversary each year. Fabric photo banners can be a fun and unique way to display old photos or used for celebrations. Another idea is to take this process and create fabric photo garland for the Christmas tree or mantel. The options are endless and this craft can easily be custom- ized to your liking. Have fun with it and enjoy! For the full tutorial on this project, visit vintagekcmag.com/diy.
