Instructions.......For my DIY Pillows and Coasters

For the Pillows....

I used Lesley Riley's TAP, Transfer Artist Paper.  I love this stuff~!
It transfers onto all sorts of surfaces......fabric, canvas, glass, wood, metal.  And the transfer doesn't crack when the material is washed.

Here is a YouTube video of the product and how it can be used.

For the Coasters....

I used the Mod Podge transfer method. 

Materials needed: Modge Podgecanvas, photocopy

1. Print a photo on a LASER printer or COPIER. (must be DRY toner to work, not inkjet)  Should be a mirror image.  Especially for text.
2. Apply a generous coat of Modge Podge to the canvas.
3. Press photocopy face down onto the canvas and burnish back to remove any air bubbles. Let dry thoroughly.
4. Wet the back of the canvas and use a non-scratch sponge to gently remove paper. Use small circular motion.
5. Use sandpaper to distress edges of image.
