So helpful! I’m so excited to try this!! Thank you

@laurieberry3920 3 года назад

I’ve applied directly to canvas for a wall hanging. Worked great.

@IronOrchidDesigns 3 года назад

Great tip! Did you seal it after applying it to the canvas?

@Em22-wtf 2 года назад

Lol, I applied it to a piece of Drop Cloth that I glued tightly onto a picture that was glued to carboard prob before I was even born, hahaa!! BUT didnt see these tutorials UNTIL I went looking to see if I should seal it or not and what to seal it with before I put it back in the frame...Sighhh, lol!

Before transferring a transfer to painted fabric, to get rid of the bumps and nubs, rub over fabric with a piece of brown grocery bags or fine sandpaper- light pressure! I have painted fabric for years

@maggiefletcherscuriouscelt4199 3 года назад

Absolutely perfect video! I know tons of us were wondering how to use the transfers on fabric.

@IronOrchidDesigns 3 года назад

So glad it was helpful! :)

@Lourdes-Ambrosio 3 года назад

I love this project! I had seen Lynne do this couple of years ago and I made myself a totebag following her instructions and the bag is still in perfect shape. The paint and transfer are still in tact. Love it! Watching this again because Lynne creates fantastic projects and her tutorials are easy to follow. #teamellenjgoods

That is awesome! We love Lynne so much too! She has such beautiful taste and a talent for bringing out the creativity in others.

Glad it was helpful! We let Lynne know how much we appreciated her for doing this tutorial.

@martymattoon7231 Год назад

I liked the texture of drop cloth it gave

@martymattoon7231 Год назад

Worked fine as wall hanging. I wouldn't try scraping it. so works for me.

@amandajones6481 Год назад

Can you seal the fabric after applying an IOD Transfer? And, if so, what should you use as a sealer over painted fabric? I love the tote bag Lynne, it's gorgeous. BTW, I saw a lady on RU-vid who applied IOD Transfers to drop cloth that she had cut into pieces. She took the glass out of some old picture frames and then glued the fabric around the glass. Then she applied the transfer onto the surface of the fabric that was held tight around the glass, and it seemed to work really well. On some of the fabric she stamped it first with IOD Stamps using IOD Ink and let it dry before applying a transfer over the top of the stamped fabric, and that looked great too. As she put the fabric back in the old frames, do you think they will last, or not? Sorry about all the questions. Love from Amanda Jones in Australia ❤

I made three tapestries using drop cloth... painted the cloth, sealed it... put the transfer on.. they all were So Pretty! None of them held up, the transfers kept coming off... Thank you for this video! My choice of fabric might have been the problem.

@IronOrchidDesigns 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing your experience, Lorie. Let us know if you try it again with the tight weave quilting fabric - we'd love to hear about your experience. ❤️

@ArvoMovieMaster 3 года назад

Amazing video with information, important information!

@IronOrchidDesigns 3 года назад

Glad it was helpful!

@kathleenmay6711 3 года назад

I love these ideas!❤️

@IronOrchidDesigns 3 года назад

Glad you like them!

@martymattoon7231 Год назад

I also use transfers on primed linen artist quality canvas.

@lolitabonita08 3 года назад

I think if you do a coat of gesso that will stabilize the fabric...gesso it is used on canvas and other fabrics to paint over after the gesso is dry...

@IronOrchidDesigns 3 года назад

Yes - that would likely work well as long as it's a water-based gesso. Thanks for the suggestion!

@rohinigrant3977 3 года назад

Good Morning 👋🏻

@IronOrchidDesigns 3 года назад

Good morning to you, Rohini! :)

@preppergirl2866 Год назад

What types of paint can you use on a transfer? Water colors?, acrylic paint markers?, oil paints?

@IronOrchidDesigns Год назад

Hi there! We recommend chalk type based paints, but you can definitely experiment with all types to see how they work and what you like best🥰♥ We do recommend sealing your paint before you apply the transfer and also sealing after you've applied the transfer as well😊

@rosejohnson973 3 года назад

Would you gesso the canvas display board first? then add chalk based paint then add transfer then seal (with what(?

@IronOrchidDesigns 3 года назад

We didn't gesso it first, but that was suggested by another commenter. The key would be using a water-based gesso (not oil as that will prevent the transfer from adhering). Seal with a water-based poly - either spray or brush on (Lynne brushed it one). Thanks for watching!

@ambermoy8147 3 года назад

You can however apply transfers to leather and faux leather correct?

@IronOrchidDesigns 3 года назад

Lynne is testing that out for us on some thrift store leather bags soon. :) She's done it on leather cuffs. Her suggestion was to rough the leather up a bit with a fine grit sandpaper under where you want your transfer to be and then apply a polycrylic sealer transfer and then sealer over the whole thing. It would be off-label use, so you should experiment a bit with a scrap of leather you don't care about first.

@teribroberg1719 3 года назад

Transfer directly on paint, or onto paint plus sealer?

@IronOrchidDesigns 3 года назад

Lynne did directly onto the chalk-type paint - but you may want to do a water-based sealer over the paint if using something other than chalk paint to ensure good adhesion.

@lynnettescolpino6723 2 года назад

Would the paint inlay work differently?

@IronOrchidDesigns 2 года назад

Hi Lynnette! The only thing you would do differently for the inlay is you will need to have wet paint when you apply the inlay. This is considered off label use though, so I am not sure if you would let it dry fully like you would normally, or if you should pull it before it fully dries, as we have not tried this before! If you do, you'll have to let us know how it worked!♥

@andreadube3537 2 года назад

Can you do it on an artist canvas?

@IronOrchidDesigns 2 года назад

Yes you can! You will want to paint and seal it first though 😊

@theresabaldassare-pitts970 3 года назад

Can you use this on HiEnd 100% cotton Percale?

@IronOrchidDesigns 3 года назад

Hi Theresa, I've never done that myself, but we may have other makers in the IOD community who have! If you ever have a question or would like advice on a project or product, a great place to ask is our IOD tribe Facebook group. Often group members will get comments on a post with advice or encouragement within a few minutes! facebook.com/groups/IODcreativetribe It’s a closed group but members are approved with very little wait time! Others over there may have some advice for paint and transfers on Percale 🥰❤️

@lolitabonita08 3 года назад

question...do you know the name of the process of transfer sheets...thanks

@IronOrchidDesigns 3 года назад

Hm, I want to help but I'm not quite sure out to answer this. We often talk about "applying" the transfer. Could you add a bit more context or reword your question for us? Thank you!

@lolitabonita08 3 года назад

@@IronOrchidDesigns I think i found the paper and the how to make it ...still the name of the process i can not find...What i found is that the image is printed on reverse in a plastic sheet...then a glue is apply on the top (back) of the image and that is it...however i can not find the name of the whole enchilada...why the name is important? because with the name i can find the exact information to do my own transfers and stop drooling or/and dreaming on the transfers u sale and that i can not afford... Thanks girls for reaching out to me... blessings to you and yours.

@jadefreeman8901 3 года назад

So u don't heat set ?

@IronOrchidDesigns 3 года назад

Definitely do NOT heat set a transfer - it will completely ruin it. You might be confusing this with IOD Decor Inks, which you do want to heat set. :) Hope that helps!

@jessicamcneil5624 3 года назад

Great question. Hope they answer.

@elainereed4842 3 года назад

Made a wall hanging on drop cloth, it had been painted and sealed several times. After 8 months the transfer started peeling up. Just don’t waste your time!

@IronOrchidDesigns 3 года назад

I'm so sorry to hear that Elaine! Please feel free to reach out to us through the Contact form on our website so we can learn more about what happened!

@lisaterlecki8466 3 года назад

So pretty on fabric but if u can’t wash it then I feel it’s a waste of time

@IronOrchidDesigns 3 года назад

It depends on the use. For sure would be a waste on an item of clothing like jeans, but it would make a beautiful tapestry or table runner or tote (as Lynne shows). You can spot clean the surface because of the sealer, just not completely submerge it into water. :)
