Day 16: Image Transfers on Packing Tape
Today, I made some cling-on images for any smooth surface. I took an image I liked from an old Time magazine and covered it in clear packing tape. Then I cut the image out, placed it in a bowl of warm water andlet it soak for a while. I rubbed the paper off the back with my fingers, and I was left with a translucent image that will stick to any smooth surface!
Tips: The magazine image must be glossy. Don’t rub the paper off with your fingernails. Images look really neat when stuck onto a transparent surface.

wow, this is mega cool — I need to get me some packing tape.
wow, that’s really interesting! and it sticks kind of like a vinyl cling? I’m putting this on my list of things to try!
Very clever idea! I want to try this.
Excellent. I’ll have to give that a try! Nicely done.
Extremely cool. I must try this. I think I need to start a list of all the projects I am inspired to try from this blog.
