Thank you so much! I have searched no less than 6 times and all im sent are transfer from an inkjet printer. Sealing the edges and protective spray are great tips.
you can get the mod podge at any craft store and the brushes and the spray too. the spray is a krylon brand either crystal clear acrylic coating which is a permanent protective gloss non yellowing moisture resistant or krylons UV archival varnish gloss which is advanced non yellowing protection against fading, dirt, moisture etc
I'm curious, since mod podge is also a sealer, why didn't you use that as your top coat? Also, I see this video is 9 yrs old; how long did your photos hold up?
You showed to put the modge podge all over the wood surface because "it'll dry clear" but...now I can see the different texture on where the glue went & where it's not, on my final wood piece. ☹️ My gut told me to just put the glue exactly where I needed it & I should have only done that.
I was wondering the same thing when watching this as the sealer she sprayed at the end would still show where the access mod podge would be along those edges. I have used mod podge for other tasks and it dries very thick compared to the spray can sealer even with the thinnest of brush strokes so I too will not be trying this method. But there could be hope to save yours. I would seal the entire thing with mod podge to help cover over where it is thick along the edges. You can make it as thick or thin as you want (mix with water to make it on the thin side) with broad strokes. Hopefully it will clear even but at least it will be consistently thick across the entire project. I actually use modge podge to represent waves for diorama water scenes. it can be that thick!
You started with one photo which had extra glue all around, but finished with another which had none, the process was not shown in full and you did not specify the paper used.
Hi are those photos printed on photo paper ? Have you tried using a proper photo from a print shop what’s it turn out like ? Thanks for down prints done trying to find best way to put onto wood. So far best option is thumb tacks don’t really want to do that :/ Thanks
I followed the tutorial using the same Mod Podge as you and it did NOT dry on my photo edges - it left a film that was visible making the project flawed. I had to reorder prints and find another way to seal the edges. That was disappointing.

My cousin passed away 36 years ago I was in high school and I got four pictures of his and shellac them on a piece of wood part of a trunk of a tree and now the pictures have darkened and they're fading how do I repair them?
