How to Print Pictures on Wood
I’m going to teach you how to transfer any photograph or picture onto wood.All you need is a printer, a roll of waxed paper and a dream.Cut a few sheets of waxed paper to the size of a standard piece of printer paper
Find a smooth, light coloured piece of wood. Actually find a few so you have some to practice on.
Then, find a high resolution image you like. Or make your own. The Graphics Fairy is a great place to start for copyright free, high resolution images.
Once you have an image you like, reverse it using whatever photo program you have on your computer. If you’re not sure how to do that just Google it.
Put a sheet of your waxed paper into the printer and click print.As the waxed paper comes out of the printer, gently guide it. You have to be careful it doesn’t roll under itself or touch itself in any other way because it will smear the ink.
Put your image exactly where you want it on the wood. Remember … this can be any unfinished wood. A bench, table, box, or anything!
Once you place your image you can’t move it. Do not move it. It will smudge. You will be sad. Then you will cry and it will smudge some more.
Holding the transfer tight to the wood, and working quickly, swipe the edge of a credit card across the image. This pushes the ink from the waxed paper down into the wood, which absorbs it.
Don’t be wimpy about this. Push hard, but not so hard that you rip the waxed paper. You can gently lift the paper to see if it’s transferring well. If you notice spots that haven’t transferred, rub it some more with the credit card, this time burnishing it.

Quotes That Will Make You Fall In Love With Poetry
“You could tie my tongue
My lips, my teeth
Split them into surrender
Into a foreign language
And I would still manage
To cough up your name.”
- Danielle Shorr, “Let”
“Here I love you.
Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain.
I love you still among these cold things.
Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels
that cross the sea towards no arrival.
I see myself forgotten like those old anchors.”
- Pablo Neruda, “Here I Love You”
You are a horse running alone
and he tries to tame you
compares you to an impossible highway
to a burning house
says you are blinding him
that he could never leave you
forget you
want anything but you
you dizzy him, you are unbearable
every woman before or after you
is doused in your name.” - Warsan Shire, “For Women Who Are Difficult to Love”
“He used to love me,
and now
he’s just a stranger
who happens to know
all my secrets.”
- Clementine Von Radics, “It’s Just So Strange”
