Packing Tape Transfer Tutorial

Hi everyone! It's Irene Tan here!

Today, I would like to share a little tutorial on "Packing Tape Transfer" with you all. It's a simple technique where you can transfer your image to any surface via the use of packing tape.

Here are the steps.

Step 1

Print your image on top a normal paper and get yourself a roll of clear packing tape.

Tip: Your image need to be printed using a toner based printer.

Cover your image with strips of packing tape. Do not overlap the strips.



Step 2

Cut out the image and soak it in a bowl of water for about 3 minutes.

Try separating the strips after that.

Step 4

Then, pick a strip up and turn to it's back.

Use your finger and rub off the paper from the packing tape.

Tip: Start by picking the very first strip on the image and work on the rest accordingly. It would be great to have a towel nearby. 

Step 5

After rubbing off the paper on the first strip of packing tape, immediately attach it onto the surface you want.

The tape will still have some stickiness to it and will stick onto the surface easily.

If not, try using adhesives.

Tip: Attach each strip immediately after you finished rubbing off the paper from it's back.

Do not wait till you finished rubbing all the strips. 



Here's the finished layout using this technique.
