Paint the edges of your wood panel. Then you stick your picture glued side down. To transfer pictures onto wood first cut the picture to the same size as the piece of wood making sure that the center of the image is in the middle.

I used my hand and rolling motions using the palm of my hand to ensure good coverage. Avoid moving the transfer on the wood or your work will smudge. Grab your keycard and slowly run it over the back of the ink transfer.

Then set a warm clothe over your dried wood. Freezer paper much more printer friendly than wax paper 5. Cut to fit your unfinished wood.

Apply a generous amount of the transfer solution to the image. Lay a wet cloth on top of the paper backing for 10 seconds or until you can see the image through the backing see below for example. You basically flip over the wax paper onto wood slice be carefully not to move the paper once on the wood slice or it will smear the picture onto wood and rub it pretty well.
