Author's wooden panel with their own hands - master class

If your interior lacks colors, you can make an unusual decor with your own hands. Designer Anastasia Kasparyan will show you how you can create an interesting decor of a wooden surface using an ordinary photo printed on a printer.

For work we need: a drawing printed on a laser printer, a hair dryer, a transfer glue, brushes, a sponge, an adhesive tape, a wooden base.

At first choose an imagethat we want to put on the board. Please note: in order for it to be transferred without flaws, the photo must be printed on a laser printer.

We mark the future panel on a wooden base and frame it with masking tape so that the glue does not spread around the edges.

Next, with a special glue for transferring images to wood (transfer glue), we thickly smear the surface of the board, and also saturate the image on the side where the drawing is printed, and carefully and evenly glue the image onto the wooden base.

We remove air, smooth and press the image with a regular construction roller. Then we dry it with a hairdryer so that the glue "seizes".

Next, we need to wet the paper abundantly. For this we use a paint brush and water.

Then, with a sponge for washing dishes, we begin to carefully remove the paper in a circular motion. Our image is completely transferred!

To make the image brighter, apply a layer of clear acrylic varnish and let it dry.

As a basis, you can use any flat wooden base and decorate the kitchen facade, table, or simply create author's panels that will become a unique decoration for your home or an excellent gift for your family.
