Collage by Karenann Young
 
Class Description
Our collage sheets are professionally laser printed, making them *perfect* for transfers using packing tape! This technique is super easy to do. Once you have your desired ARTchix Studio image on packing tape, it's transparent! Add it to your collages and more!
 
ARTchix Studio Supplies General Supplies and Tools
ARTchix Studio collage sheets Packing tape (can be found just about anywhere, look for it at office supply stores and drug stores) Bone folder
  Water
 
 
Instructions

1.  Select your desired ARTchix Studio collage sheet image and place it, good side up, on your work surface.  If you want to cut out a small image, like a face from the
background, don't do that yet.

2.  Tear off a piece of packing tape, slightly larger than your desired image and place it on the image.  Note: If your desired image is larger than the packing tape, you cut more than one piece of packing tape and overlap the pieces slightly.  It will show, but it is not that noticeable. 

3.  Turn your image over so the wrong side is up. Rub it with a bone folder to burnish your image to the packing tape.  Look at the right side to make sure that the paper is stuck securely and evenly.

4.  Place the image on your work surface with the wrong side up.  Put a few drops of water on it.  Wait a few seconds, then start rubbing the paper off. Do NOT use your fingernails. Rub off the paper carefully with your fingertips. Once you have finished, set aside to dry.  As it starts to dry, you'll probably notice that there is still some white paper flecks on it.  Wet it again and rub off.  Once you are finished, rinse it off under a faucet to get all the paper bits off.  Set aside to dry.

5. Use gel medium on the back side of the image to adhere to your desired surface.
