Cool Waterslide Hack! 

talk about happy accidents! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing. Super confused on why 11 people dislike this video 🙄 youre awesome!

I love happy accidents!! Thank you so much for sharing this idea, I just love it!! I have so many ideas going through my mind right now! And the best part is it is a Dollar Tree craft, can't go wrong with that! Cheap gifts that look expensive are my specialty lol

I've been struggling with waterslide for years starting with Lazertran inkjet. Had good success with it on painted wood once. But since then the film falls apart or easily scratches off. Since most of my projects are preferably print projects, I am always looking for methods of transfer to various surfaces...mostly canvas. Thx for sharing your method.

Love it❤Thanks for sharing.

I've looked almost everywhere, but do you think that taking acrylic paint to the back of the cutting board, in whatever color after the decal has dried, would keep it from being ruined overtime instead of using epoxy or resin?

I’m so glad you explained that because I was trying to figure out how to do it. I’m new working with water slides so I was thinking there’s some type of glue holding the picture to the backing so I had “mirroring” it on my Cricut. I definitely agree that it was a very happy accident!!! Very cute idea!!

Thanks for sharing this I was having a hard time using water slide.

Awesome new hack. I luv it!

The clear gloss spray paint becomes the glue when its pressed on when the spray paint is still tacky. You then put epoxy/glitter mixture over the backside and you're set

Happy accidents are always the best!

so nice

those are SOooooo CUTE!!!

That is a cool trick. Adorable!

Thank you as that's so much easier.. Awesome tutorial

Tx so much Laura!! Just getting ready to attempt waterslide & I won a bundle @ Beth’s last party!! Your video will be such a help & great idea with the cutting boards!! Love your lives & youtubes!!!

This is great..thanks!

I love a great happy accident!

That's great!! Thank you for the info! I am happy to see that you have such a great name... spelled the correct way! : )

awesome trick!

This is great! I'll try it out! I got a glass cutting board but the bottom image has peeled off so I thought about the waterslides but I wasnt sure how to do it.

Awesome thanks for sharing 👍

Just try this thanks so much

Thanks for another idea. I've never done this before but you've inspired me to give it a try. Great instructions.

Does it matter what side of the decal sticks to the glass? Isn't the backing of the print supposed to adhere and not the front? It seems like this method causes the spray to adhere and not the decal itself. Although it's a great hack I'm confused about the process.

PLOT TWIST 😱 this was a game changer just make sure to mirror the images

ty for sharing this definitely gonna try this

Nice project

That’s awesome 😎

Too cute :-) Thanks for sharing !!!!

Isn't there a glue between the waterslide and paper? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I am fairly new at doing these

I'm trying very hard to put a full waterslide wrap on a tumbler. No matter how many times I try to get it on, it's wrinkling some and leaving a few air bubbles. I have tried and tried to get them out to no avail without tearing the waterslide and ruining it. I have sealed it 3 times with Rustoleum two times clear as well as doing a few coats of plastidip. Once I epoxy will it conceal the wrinkles and air bubbles any at all? I'm desperately trying to do this and getting very frustrated. Thank you for any help.

Love happy accidents

Love it!!!

What spray did you spray on it for it to stick?

do you mirror the image before printing

You don't need to soak them, just place them and dab them with a damp cloth..

So applying to a clear surface like this it works? That means clear decal paper sticks either side?

Awesome video, Can the plate be baked to seal instead of using epoxy? thanks for sharing :)

Great idea for a happy accident

Hi Lora, thanks for this great help.. I hope am not too late.. Pls Lora how can i identify an inkjet or a laser water transfer paper. I was motivated by your video and bought a lil water transfer paper but i cant rem if its inkjet or laser peper

Do you treat the glass before or after you apply the water decal?

Did you say you spray the fecal with clear coat? If so, what do you mean by that.

Awesome idea! I will be trying this!

Great trick! How would you seal An image w/o using epoxy

I am just starting to use water slides how do you get it so that it doesn’t have the obvious edge around where are you putting the picture? I can’t get it to blend in nicely

Can you use Mod Podge Dishwasher gloss to seal project once finished? Thanks

I like your images very much and would love to have them. Where did you purchase them? Thanks

Great hack! How would you seal an image without using epoxy?

how can you add this to a car window

This is fantastic.. 😍 How did you make the design...

Hi everyone, can I get some help? :/ I am having massive printing issues. My printer leaves scratch marks all the time and sometimes the print is totally unusable. My printer back feed uses wheels that make contact with the ink on the paper and leave marks, and my front feed keeps bumping into curved or elevated surfaces on the paper, scratching the ink. Does anyone know how this can be solved? Many thanks in advance :)

Hi I looked for the svg files you used I'm sorry I couldn't find them. I went to Etsy

What kindif water slide paper you use

Pity your hack didn't show how to get one on a flat virtical surface, cos I've been ripping them trying to get large ones on to a snowblower.

This is with where slide paper? Can any other paper be used (hacks)?

How do you know how to print mirror image or not? I am so confused.

Sorry I have an both an inkjet and laser printer, but isn’t the sticky side on the back of the pic?

Can you wash these? Will the image wash off?

After the image is applied to surface I wait at least 24 hours to dry well then apply the epoxy? Let epoxy dry 24 hours then I can handle it,wash it etc correct ?

Can this be done on a mug?

I thought the sticky side was on the back of the pic

What paper are you using?

beautiful what printer do you have? If you don't mind me asking.

I just tried this way and for the most part it worked. My decals cracked. That is the first time that happened. Do you know why that would happen? Thanks

Did you reverses the image?

Just to let you know up front. The video is good. It's a big plus for all involved though I've seen about 6 other video posts sharing the same of Dollar Tree cutting boards and such. Nice personal touches either way.

Hey Laura, using water slide for the first time tonight. Do I have to seal it or does it just adhere by itself? Making keychains

Hi Lora! I enjoyed watching this, thanks. Some would say there are no accidents! What type of spray did you use that is so sticky? I tried this with some clear acrylic coat but it didn’t stick. Thanks again.

Do you use sublimation ink to print it?

Can I ask where do u get your paper at

what type of ink is used to make this type of printing

i’m confused.. don’t you have to slide the image off abs the back side sticks to the glass. this is done back wards in the video? does it stick either way ?

Did you mirror it

Where do you get the decals?

do you mean to put the epoxy on the top of applied object?

Where did you get the squeegee from?

Where do u get the water slide paper at please

I'm new to crafting what kind of paper are you using

How do you seal the waterslide?

So that’s a clear waterslide paper?

Where did you get the razor blade? What's it called?

Is this a vinyl image?

Did you mirror the image?

so your saying your sealer spray was still wet? It works wet? I would be scared nothing ever works for me like that. ahahaha accident or not it just would of been a fail for me. Good job thank you.

I’m new...where do you get waterslides? Google sent me in a different direction! Thanks!

Did you have to mirror your image?

Can someone tell me how to conquer the water slide on a large wine glass. The shape of the glass messes up everything. I'm so sad Lol. For real tho
