You will need:
Mod Podge Photo Transfer Medium
a sponge brush
a pair or prints
scissors
and a wet cloth or sponge (not shown)
Let’s get started!
First trim out your images. I used the skull found at The Graphics Fairy. I printed two on a page, using the 5×7 setting. Trim them out very close to the edges, and make sure that if you do use any graphic with words that you print them in reverse. (If you don’t know how to invert them, I have a handy dandy tutorial to help you flip the images in seconds!)
Once you have the images trimmed out, cover them INK SIDE UP with Mod Podge Photo Medium Transfer. Use a good coat that covers the whole piece. I did this step on top of a piece of freezer paper for easy clean up.
Once covered, put it face down onto the fabric where you want the image. Go over it well using your fingertips and press it into the fabric, so it attaches to it. Set it aside and let it dry for 24-48 hours.
{Pssttt… go ahead and do both ends of the runner before you let it dry.}
Once it’s all dry, wet the paper lightly with a damp cloth or sponge. You want it barely wet, but not saturated.
Use your finger to roll the paper off of the image, and then you’re done. Oh! Be sure to do both ends 🙂
Now you’re ready to set a spooky table with your Halloween table runner! Pretty great results for about 10 minutes of hands on work, huh?
