    Hi! I’ve tried transferring my photos w/Mod Podge w/success. I have, however, learned you need to use a low weight paper. You’re putting yourself through too much work if you use heavy paper.

  27. Steph says

    September 24, 2013 at 4:36 am

    Love the ideas! Especially the one with the little table, gotta do this sometime myself… just created a canvas with modge podge, acryllic paint, silhouttes and old book pages … check out my blog!

    i attempted my first photo transfer project and have done it wrong already. I modpodged the wrong side of the photo..put it on the glass piece i selected and realized after it was the wrong side. can this be salvaged?

    • Amy says

      February 16, 2014 at 6:41 pm

      Hi lirije! Can you try to soak the glass and get it off? You’ll need a new photo to repeat the process . . . but I’m hoping that soaking the glass will get it off.

      • lirije says

        February 17, 2014 at 4:27 pm

        hmm..i’ll give it a try..thank you amy
