How to glue pictures on wood. This is why your picture will stick on to the wood. To complete the craft at home youll need a piece of wood Mod Podge a sponge or damp cloth Mod Podge sealer and a photo of your choice. Use the sand paper to go around the edges of the picture and wood to give it a vintage look and blend it in to the wood until you are satisfied in my opinion you cant really mess this part up.

To begin I painted the edges of the wood all black. Cover the wood slice in a good layer of regular mod podge Lay over the photo onto the mod podge and press to get out all the bubbles and wrinkles. After 24 hours you get the paper damp and rub off the paper.

If you want to save even more money on this DIY you can work with wooden objects you already have at home or use inexpensive finds from garage salesWooden pallets blocks planks and even smoothed-down scrap pieces would all work nicely too. Allow the glue to dry. Use a roller to flatten the paper onto the wood.

Carefully wipe off any glue showing around the edges. I like the look of both but it was obviously more time consuming to make the box and cut all those pieces. Be careful not to smear the image once it has been printed.

Put the photo straight down on the plaque. Smooth the photo down from the center outwards to remove air bubbles. Use a rubber roller or brayer to help flatten the picture.

Turn the photo over so the glued surface is on the bottom. Glue them down to the wood then overspray with several coats of clear acrylic or polyurethane. For its polyurethane glue Titebond recommends clamping for at least 45 minutes.
