Packing Tape Image Transfers

In this instructable, I'll teach you how to transfer laser printed or photocopied images to packing tape.

This process also works with hot glue or clear caulk -- the transfer won't be as clear, though.

Step 1 Materials

You will need:

- packing tape
- scissors
- the image you want to transfer
- a basin
- water

Awesome! any way to transfer it onto something else?

[threecheersfornick]

Not that I know of. If you want to do that, I'd suggest this method.

Thanks

Ok, now that I've said that, I realize that you could stick the tape to whatever you want. So yes, in a way, you can transfer it to "something else".

I was thinking more of the toner transfer method, but yeah, this would work fine.
