Now that Christmas has passed, I’m so excited to share with you how to transfer a photo onto a slice of wood. It ended up being one of the easiest and quickest gifts I whipped up too! You can’t go wrong gifting a photo, especially when it’s as unique as this.
I used Silhouette temporary tattoo paper to transfer the image to the slice of wood, but you won’t even need a Silhouette to make this. You probably already have an inkjet printer, washcloth, and scissors laying around. Just pick up a wood slice (under 11″ at its widest point) and Silhouette temporary tattoo paper and you’ll be ready to start.
Print your picture following the directions on the package of temporary tattoo paper. Make sure you flip your photo so it will transfer correctly onto the wood. I recommend using the settings your printer has for photos. Follow the directions on the tattoo paper just like you were going to create a temporary tattoo.
Cut around the photo leaving plenty of room for the wood slice to fit.
Remove the shiny, clear sheet from the tattoo paper. Very carefully, place the wood slice down over the photo. Center it carefully because you won’t be able to make any adjustments once the wood slice has touched the sticky photo.
Use scissors to trim the photo as close to the wood slice as possible.
Wet a washcloth and gently press it on top of the photo.
You should see the picture show through little by little as it gets transferred from the paper to the wood.
Once the photo has transferred, peel the paper off of the wood.
To finish off the edges very gently dab the wet washcloth along the edge of the wood. It should shrink up any uneven pieces of the photo transfer.
This is seriously one of the easiest projects I’ve made and it turned out even better than I was expecting. The photo transferred so cleanly and colorfully. Did you know that you can use Silhouette temporary tattoo paper to transfer a photo onto most unfinished wooden surfaces? I like how the rings in the wood show through the photo just a bit. This gift was a hit and something I look forward to trying again.

January 5, 2016 at 11:38 amI have been wanting to try a project like this ever since Brittany used tattoo paper for a photo on the Silhouette blog. And I love the idea of using the wood slice – such a fun treatment! Totally adding to my list.
Analisa says
January 7, 2016 at 1:22 pmIt was on my list for a long time too. Don’t know why I put it off for so long because it was crazy easy.
Betty says
April 28, 2016 at 10:07 pmDid you use clear or white tattoo paper? I looked on Amazon and did not know which to order. Thanks
Analisa says
May 1, 2016 at 10:19 amSilhouette only makes one kind of temporary tattoo paper and it’s the only one I’ve used. You should be able to find it here on Amazon.
Maggi says
March 31, 2017 at 7:54 amCan you use Christmas or other occasion cards to transfer on to the wood to make an ornament or does it have to be a photo?
Analisa says
April 4, 2017 at 1:35 pmYou can use any picture or image you want, but it does have to be printed on the printable temporary tattoo paper.
Kimberly Clevenger says
August 16, 2017 at 8:09 amDoes it stay on or rub off?
Analisa says
August 18, 2017 at 1:49 pmIt should stay on as long as it’s being displayed and not constantly handled. A layer of clear spray sealer should help too.
Lee says
August 24, 2017 at 3:04 pmCan you use a bigger piece of wood and photo?
Analisa says
August 26, 2017 at 10:47 pmYou could use a bigger piece of wood, but the tattoo paper is 8.5″x11″ so you can’t print photos any larger than that.
Joanne says
October 24, 2017 at 12:28 amDoes the wood have to be pressure treated?
Will it attract insects or termites?
Analisa says
October 24, 2017 at 8:50 pmNo, the wood does not need to be pressure treated. It shouldn’t attract insects or termites.
Iva Griffith says
July 14, 2016 at 9:40 amWill this work on fabic
Analisa says
July 17, 2016 at 12:30 amI don’t think the temporary tattoo paper would transfer well (if at all) to fabric, but you can use this printable paper to transfer images to fabric.
Jay says
March 23, 2017 at 8:11 amUse an iron on for fabric
Bob says
January 2, 2017 at 10:28 amwhere do I buy this paper thank you
Analisa says
January 12, 2017 at 8:26 pmYou can find it here on Amazon. Your local craft/hobby store might carry it as well.
Sue says
October 7, 2017 at 9:30 amI found it at Hobby Lobby.
Terri says
November 9, 2016 at 11:38 pmHi,, Just getting ready to try this. but a little confused,,I printed the photo on the white sheet that has red markings on the back.. now what? do I put the sticky paper on the wood and then transfer the picture to the non sticky side with the wash cloth? or do you just use the white paper that you transfered the photo on and use a wash cloth? I’m missing something here and it really shouldn’t be this confusing but I want to do it right.. Can you help me??
Rachel says
November 26, 2016 at 4:59 pmI’m having the same confusion with the white paper?!
Analisa says
November 27, 2016 at 2:37 pmI replied to Terri’s email but probably should have shared here too since it can be confusing. The sticky clear side of the green paper needs to be put on the picture you printed on the white paper. Rub it and peel the clear sheet off. Then stick it on the wood like in the directions. I hope that makes sense.
Marcy says
December 7, 2016 at 1:44 pmOnce I add the sticky clear side to the picture I printed on the white paper do I need to start the project right away? Wondering if it sits a day if that would change anything with this process. Thanks!
Analisa says
December 8, 2016 at 12:07 amWaiting a day shouldn’t be a problem, Marcy.
Stacey says
December 20, 2016 at 10:17 amDo u need to put anything on top of the pictures like mog glue or anything else
Analisa says
December 23, 2016 at 12:19 amPersonally, I don’t feel like it needs anything as long as it’s being displayed. You could try a clear spray sealer though.
Terri says
December 27, 2016 at 2:05 pmI used a light coat of the clear gloss spray and it worked well
Analisa says
January 12, 2017 at 8:19 pmTerrific!
Andrea McLoy says
January 23, 2017 at 3:18 pmHi Analisa,
Do you know how permanent this will be? Is there a chance that after a year or so the picture will start to peel of the wood?
Thanks, Andi
Analisa says
January 31, 2017 at 3:24 pmI haven’t had a problem with it peeling, but some people have put a clear finish on it as a precaution. I think as long as it is displayed somewhere where it isn’t being handled constantly it should be just fine.
Carolyn says
January 15, 2018 at 1:11 pmI just did a small project and it is the easiest thing ever. I’ve been searching so long for a nice easy photo transfer to wood process, I’m so glad I’ve seen this!! Have you tried to stain over or under the photo with a very light stain for an antiqueing effect? And how long did you let it dry for before you applied the clear coating? Christmas next year is going to be SUPER!! Thank you, Carolyn
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 9:47 pmI haven’t tried using stain under or over it. I’m not sure how it would react with the paper so I’d probably try antiquing the photo through editing instead. If you’re talking about adding some sort of sealer/clear coat on top I’d give it at least a day or two. I’m so glad you’re having fun with the project!
Julienne says
October 25, 2016 at 5:09 pmHas anyone else had a problem with this? The paper doesn’t peel off nicely like in the directions. Some of the image sticks, but not all. Mine is a mess. I don’t know what I am doing wrong!
Julienne says
October 26, 2016 at 3:24 pmI may know the problem. Two types of papers come in the pack. I think I used the wrong one. I followed pkg directions as instructed, but I should probably have just printed my photos directly onto the other paper. I’ll try that!
Debbie says
March 26, 2017 at 5:15 pmCan someone tell me where to but the wood slices at a reduced rate the pieces i see on sites such as Amazon are 11.99 for large size. That’s a lot if your looking to do 6 of them. Also can it be untreated wood? What specific wood can it be transferred onto.
Analisa says
April 4, 2017 at 1:33 pmMake sure the wood you buy is no larger than your printed picture, and it should be untreated. You could always use a coupon or wait for a sale at your local craft store. Thankfully wood slices are getting easier to find.
Mary says
April 15, 2017 at 3:37 pmTry a piece of old drift wood cut to size. I did and it makes the picture look old and really cool as our daughter says. Just make sure the drift wood is really dry.
mimi says
November 11, 2017 at 4:15 pmpicture never showed through paper.
Maria Correia says
January 9, 2016 at 12:34 pmBeautiful work
Analyzes have a question:
– To finish can be used varnish or other product to protect the work in the wood?
– The photo transfer is permanent in wood or disappear in 3 or 4 days?
Glad to help me in this issue.
Analisa says
January 9, 2016 at 2:12 pmI didn’t put any kind of finish on mine so I can’t tell you for sure. I think a layer of Mod Podge would be safe though. The transfer is permanent and won’t disappear unless damage is done to the surface of the wood. Hope that helps!
Maria Correia says
January 10, 2016 at 7:08 amThank you Analisa.
You helped me a lot.
Anna says
June 2, 2016 at 7:36 pmI just used Mod Podge on mine (the kind that you paint on) and it’s causing the colors to run. I did a black and white photo and had it print grayscale black and white, not color black and white. Glad I did a test project before the real thing. I’m going to try the spray kind of Mod Podge, because it really should be sealed with something…
Anna says
June 2, 2016 at 7:54 pmI should add, that as it is drying and turning clear, the running color seems to be very minimal, and really only on the edges. :)
Analisa says
June 6, 2016 at 7:36 pmThanks for sharing Anna! It has been so busy around here that I haven’t had a chance to make another one to experiment with. This one went to my in laws and they haven’t mentioned any problems with it not being sealed. I usually use a spray sealer on top of painted wood projects. I wonder if that would work any better. Hopefully I’ll be able to try it out soon.
Christy says
February 16, 2016 at 7:06 pmI love how this turned out!
Analisa says
February 18, 2016 at 8:11 pmThanks Christy!
Lei says
March 14, 2016 at 2:37 pmI tried this but printed my photo at costco and it didn’t work. Any suggestions since I don’t have a printer?
Analisa says
March 15, 2016 at 5:23 pmOh no! Sorry it didn’t work out for you. I think Silhouette temporary tattoo paper needs to be printed on an inkjet printer so maybe that was the problem? I wonder if any office supply stores might offer that as an option.
Stephanie says
April 3, 2016 at 3:20 pmDo you know if this would work on painted wood?
Thank you! Stephanie
Analisa says
April 4, 2016 at 3:55 pmHmm…I honestly don’t know. I’ve never tried it on painted wood before. I’ll see if I can try it in the next few days and get back to you!
Carlota says
September 17, 2016 at 2:27 amIt should work!;)
Linda says
April 9, 2016 at 10:04 amSounds easy enough but how do you deal it?
Analisa says
April 9, 2016 at 11:32 amI didn’t feel the need to seal it, but I think a layer of Mod Podge would be safe enough to try.
Mel says
April 13, 2016 at 9:56 amAnyone try mod podge on this craft item? I have the tattoo printed and will apply it today to the wood. I would hope mod podge would be safe over it but I’d like to hear if anyone has tested it before I apply the mod podge over the print. Anyone? I have regular glossy mod podge.
http://www./ says
December 30, 2016 at 10:20 amAh, i see. Well that’s not too tricky at all!”
Jen says
April 16, 2016 at 6:18 amWhere can you buy the silhouette temporary tattoo paper ?
Analisa says
April 17, 2016 at 11:02 pmYou can buy it online from Amazon. They usually have it for the best price, especially if you use subscribe and save. If your local craft stores carry Silhouette products you might be able to find it there too.
S castillo says
April 26, 2016 at 4:24 pmWhere do u find a slice of wood n can u use cedar wood
Analisa says
May 1, 2016 at 10:16 amI’ve seen wood slices at craft stores and even Target. Amazon carries them too. I don’t see why cedar wouldn’t work. Just remember that the transferred image ends up being slightly transparent so the color of the wood will make a difference in the finished piece.
Amanda Marcrum says
November 28, 2016 at 6:33 pmI’m so sad! I ordered the wood and even got the smaller size just to make sure the wood would be big enough for the picture and it came back both wider and wayyyyy longer than the transferable tattoo paper. I emailed them and they said they couldn’t guarantee the size since all trees are different sizes. You said you saw some at Target and craft stores? Going to try here to salvage the gift!
Analisa says
December 7, 2016 at 11:55 pmOh no! The good thing is that wood slices are popular right now so you should have no problem finding them. I’m sure you’ll find just the right piece:)
Palma says
December 14, 2016 at 5:31 amWalmart is a place for the wood slices too.
Analisa says
December 15, 2016 at 10:29 pmI’m so glad you mentioned this Palma! It seems like they’re carrying more and more in their craft section.
Jocelyne Babineau says
September 21, 2017 at 7:06 pmTo use the wood that u both. U can cut the wood square or rectangle u will not have the side of the tree. I am going to do some like that and I am sure it will look nice to
I hope l have been helpful.
Jocelyne Babineau says
September 21, 2017 at 7:10 pmThis was for Amanda Marcrum
Leah says
May 4, 2016 at 1:14 amwhere can I get a wood slice. never saw them in any store
I have a laser printer so you said I don’t need the tattoo paper?? please explain,
thanks
Analisa says
May 7, 2016 at 1:36 pmI’ve seen wood slices at craft stores and other stores that have a craft section like Target. Amazon also carries them . You will need the temporary tattoo paper since that is how the image gets transferred onto the wood slice. I’ve only used the temporary tattoo paper with an inkjet printer. I have no idea if it would work with a laser printer so you’d have to try it at your own risk.
Diane Ranshaw says
October 29, 2016 at 7:07 amI have seen “live edge” wood slabs at Michael’s
Steve says
November 17, 2016 at 8:57 pmDoes the word have to be sanded smooth
Ivory says
May 4, 2016 at 5:39 pmI love what you did, and plan to give it a try. I hope my’s can come out just as nice. Thanks for sharing.
Analisa says
May 7, 2016 at 1:39 pmAww, thanks! I’m sure yours will look great!
Savannah says
May 5, 2016 at 12:33 pmHi I have been dying on trying this what all do u need for this project and can u print a picture from like walgreens and it still work?
Analisa says
May 7, 2016 at 1:44 pmAs long as you have an inkjet printer the only supplies you’ll need to buy should be the wood slice and the temporary tattoo paper. I don’t think Walgreens will work, but if you can find someplace that will print your picture directly onto the tattoo paper that should do the trick.
sherry says
May 19, 2016 at 9:09 pmGood idea. I will have to try it. Thank u
Lexis says
June 5, 2016 at 5:42 amWow what an amazingly simple trick. I cant wait to try it. Can you please tell me if you need to use a varnish or a sealer to finish it? Thank you so much for sharing. Cheers Lexy
Analisa says
June 6, 2016 at 8:00 pmThanks Lexis! I didn’t feel the need to seal mine with anything and have not tried it. If you look a few comments above, someone did try Mod Podge and shared their experience.
Zoraida Santana says
June 13, 2016 at 10:28 amHi my name is Zoraida and I love you transfer I would like to know where I can find the silhoutte transfer paper I would like to make some father’s day gift it’s a great idea thanks and God bless you.
Analisa says
June 14, 2016 at 8:00 amHi Zoraida! You can buy it online from Amazon. They usually have it for the best price. If your local craft stores carry Silhouette products you might be able to find it there too.
Mary says
June 20, 2016 at 12:13 pmHi! Love this, but having trouble. After I print and apply the sticky sheet… I rub it and then peel the clear part off, but it won’t come off clean… Image sticks and gets torn up. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.
Analisa says
June 28, 2016 at 11:10 amHmm…I’m not sure why it’s doing that. As long as the directions are followed the picture should stay put until you transfer it. Maybe something is wrong with the tattoo paper? I would try it again with another sheet. If that doesn’t work you might try contacting Silhouette for help with the paper.
Claudia says
June 21, 2016 at 8:11 amGreat tutorial! Thanks to all those who posted comments, you all covered my question about Mod Podging it
Francine says
July 10, 2016 at 2:32 pmallo es ce que je peut prendre une autre sorte de papier comme papier cire ou ordinnaire merci
Isaura says
August 18, 2017 at 2:38 pmNon, ce doit être ce genre de papier, sinon ça ne marche pas
martie says
July 28, 2016 at 10:10 amI did something similar as the photo on wood. My problem was that the wood crack. I bought it and a stump to put it on. Both cracked. Is there a way that I must treat the wood
Analisa says
July 30, 2016 at 9:21 pmThis one hasn’t cracked and wasn’t treated in any way. I assume different types of wood might react differently.
Jacque says
August 10, 2016 at 8:09 amIf you are using fresh cut wood, it is subject to cracking as it dries. As a wood turner I deal with the problem all the time. What we do with a fresh log is to paint the ends of the log with anchor seal and set them aside in a cool dry place for sometimes a year or more and still sometimes they crack. You would not be able to use anchor seal on the slice because it is a thick waxy liquid that would be unworkable. We cut that part off the logs when we are ready to use them. BUT, I don’t see anything wrong with having the slice crack or even warp after a while. I think it adds to the overall look of the piece. You could also try letting the slice sit for a month or so and if it cracks you can fill the crack with either saw dust or “used, dried coffee grinds” and super glue. Then sand it smooth before applying the image.
Jacque says
August 10, 2016 at 8:11 amCorrection to my statement above. I meant to say using anchor seal would NOT be workable for you.
Analisa says
August 11, 2016 at 4:25 pmThank you so much for sharing that Jacque!
Crystal says
July 28, 2016 at 4:55 pmThis is the best tutorial I’ve seen so far, great job! Looking forward to making my own :)
Analisa says
July 30, 2016 at 9:22 pmThank you Crystal!
Lindsay says
July 30, 2016 at 11:27 amThank you so much for sharing! Does it have to be unfinished wood or can it be on a tree slice that has a sealer on it? If not, can I apply dealer after the photo?
Analisa says
July 30, 2016 at 9:17 pmHi Lindsay! I haven’t tried it so I’m not sure how the tattoo paper wood take to wood that’s already been sealed. I would experiment on a small piece first.
darlene hart says
August 12, 2016 at 6:43 amOh my goodness, this looks so simple and easy. I’ve tried other methods and always ended up a disaster. Will def have to try this. Did you put some kind of sealer on it after?
Analisa says
August 14, 2016 at 3:23 pmIt really is easy! I never sealed it, but it’s held up just fine.
Susan M says
September 6, 2016 at 1:27 pmI’d like to make a coaster for each of our employees for Christmas, and would like to make these into a coaster for their home/desk. Is there a finish I can use so it doesn’t ruin the picture I put on the wood? I have 40 employees I’d like to do this for. I need to get busy. :)
Analisa says
September 7, 2016 at 8:27 pmI’m sorry Susan, but I’m not sure about finishes since I haven’t tried any. That sounds like such a thoughtful gift for your employees though!
Greg Scroggs says
September 22, 2016 at 9:07 amI saw this and knew this is something to try with my granddaughter!
Thanks for sharing.
Analisa says
September 22, 2016 at 10:10 amSo sweet! Hope you have a wonderful time together!
Dawn says
September 24, 2016 at 7:46 pmThank you for posting this DIY project! I followed it this weekend to make a house warming gift for friends and it turned out beautifully. I’ve tried a few other processes for transferring photos to wood without success and was super excited when this one turned out so well and was so easy to complete. Thanks again!!!
Analisa says
September 25, 2016 at 9:12 pmThat’s great to hear!
Anna says
September 26, 2016 at 8:47 pmDo you seal the wood after? What do you use to do it? Do you have to let the wood dry out first?
Analisa says
September 28, 2016 at 4:13 pmSorry, I don’t have experience trying to seal it.
Jessica says
September 27, 2016 at 9:32 amHi, I am really wanting to try this out but Amazon cannot ship this tattoo paper to my country for some reason. Can you recommend any other type of temporary tattoo paper that could be used?
Analisa says
September 28, 2016 at 4:17 pmOh no! Sorry, this is the only type of tattoo paper I’ve ever used. If you’re able to try another brand it might be worth a shot though.
Bill Minyard says
September 29, 2016 at 7:54 amThe Price for ” Temporary Tattoo Paper ” is rather Pricey…
Can you suggest a Vendor that will supply MORE sheets at
a more AFFORDABLE price….????? Thanks…!!!!
Analisa says
September 30, 2016 at 9:22 amThis is the only brand of printable tattoo paper I’ve used. I’ve been happy with it so I haven’t needed to look an alternative before. Sorry I don’t have any suggestions. Hope you find what you’re looking for!
Cindi Williams says
September 29, 2016 at 5:42 pmThank you Thank you Thank you!!! I was looking for a unique craft for my families Christmas gifts and I found it!!
Analisa says
September 30, 2016 at 9:25 amI know that search all too well. So glad I could help!
Jess says
October 4, 2016 at 10:34 pmWhat if you don’t have tattoo paper? Or a silhouette?
Analisa says
October 9, 2016 at 9:27 pmYou don’t need a Silhouette for this project, but you will need the tattoo paper to make it work.
Rick says
October 10, 2016 at 9:13 pmWill this work on those glass blocks. Have an order for 5 memorial blocks and they requested photos on them.
Analisa says
October 16, 2016 at 4:45 pmHmm…I’m not too sure since I’ve never tried using the tattoo paper on glass. I have used this printable clear sticker paper on glass though. As long as the glass is flat I think it might be a nice alternative.
Sabira says
October 15, 2016 at 9:08 amHey I wanna make dis too! Can I use a regular photo ( on a photo paper) instead of the temporary transfer paper because it is hard to find in my country and costs way much!
Analisa says
October 16, 2016 at 4:46 pmHi Sabira! You’ll definitely need the printable tattoo paper to get the photo on the wood with this method.
Brenda says
October 21, 2016 at 7:31 pmWill any brand of tattoo paper work or does it have to be silhouette?
Analisa says
October 22, 2016 at 10:39 amThis is the only brand I’ve used, but as long as the application is the same I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
Mary says
October 22, 2016 at 1:28 pmCan you use driftwood, the reason I ask is ever since hurricane Matthew hit I have been seeing lots more driftwood here lately
Analisa says
October 23, 2016 at 9:28 pmWhat an interesting idea! I honestly don’t know, but it might be worth a try.
Jolomi says
October 27, 2016 at 11:37 amExtremely lovely, creative, exclusive,worth trying.
Rocío Soto Agüero says
October 30, 2016 at 12:34 pmQue clase de brillo le puedo poner para darle brillo …Gracias
Terri says
November 10, 2016 at 10:31 amDid a post last night.. A little confused about the one step. I printed out my picture on the white paper but not sure about the “sticky” paper.. Does the sticky side stick to the would and the picture goes on top of that or do you just line the photo on the wood and wet with wash cloth?
JoAnne Dougherty says
November 13, 2016 at 4:00 pmI had a piece like this once but I ended up throwing it away because the back wasn’t sealed so all of the ridges came through the picture and the sealant cracked and chipped off. so I was wondering if the top should be sanded and sealed. Then another sealant put on top. I’m going to try this the way I just described and see how I make out. Actually, I think I’ll try it both ways and let you know which way works best.
Petya says
November 15, 2016 at 3:29 pmI like it and I try to make it, become perfect result. Thanks for this idea!
Steve says
November 17, 2016 at 8:59 pmDoes the wood need to be sanded smooth
Analisa says
November 19, 2016 at 6:59 pmUnless the wood is unusually rough you shouldn’t need to.
Steve says
November 17, 2016 at 9:00 pmdoes the word need to be sanded smooth
Nina says
November 23, 2016 at 5:36 amI loved it! Thank you for sharing,I can’t wait to try it!
Jackie says
November 23, 2016 at 11:54 amThis looks great! We just got married and I wanted to give my family print outs in a unique way. Does it stay? Should I cover it with a gloss or something?
Trina says
November 23, 2016 at 2:47 pmI used a clear matte spray from home depot..sealed great!
Analisa says
November 27, 2016 at 2:28 pmThank you so much for sharing Trina!
Analisa says
November 27, 2016 at 2:27 pmCongrats on your marriage! As long as it is going to be displayed and not handled constantly it should be fine just like it is.
Christine Simmons says
November 27, 2016 at 6:36 amI just made one last night! It was fun and a lot easier than I thought. It’s going to be a great Christmas present for my inlaws. A family wedding picture.
The only suggestion I have is because where the knot is on the wood when placing your photo on the wood. The knot on the wood ended up coming through in my sons face so he looks like he has a bruise on his face. It’s hard find wood without the knots.
Love this project going to be making more.
Thank you for posting this:)
Christine
Analisa says
November 27, 2016 at 2:44 pmThank you for sharing how yours turned out Christine! It really is easier than it looks. The character of the wood worked in my favor when I made this one, but it is definitely something to think about when you’re choosing a picture and placing it on the wood.

November 29, 2016 at 12:16 pmTnak you So much for this method to transfer images, Analisa! I am actually a very new crafter, and was wondering if ANYBODY could tell me in which kind of shop [with this I mean hardware, shops craft shops, stationary shops, etc] to start looking for the Printable Tattoo Paper, because I don’t have an idea where to start looking for it. I live in Cape Town, South Africa.
Thank you very much, would be grateful if anyone can help me?
Analisa says
December 8, 2016 at 12:00 amHi Isobel! If I were you I’d start looking for it online. Good luck!
Charlie Creighton says
November 30, 2016 at 6:54 amI was wondering if this would work on a piece of glass…I’m definitely going to do some on wood slabs
Analisa says
December 8, 2016 at 12:03 amI’m not sure if the tattoo paper would work on glass, but you might want to look into Silhouette printable clear sticker paper. I’ve used it on glass with great results!

Traci Turner says
December 3, 2016 at 6:25 pmI used this for a Christmas present. It came out really great! Hunting picture on a cut piece of wood. Thanks for the idea!
Analisa says
December 8, 2016 at 12:05 amAwesome! I bet it looks great!
Bo says
December 8, 2016 at 8:31 pmAny knowledge if this would work on stone?
Analisa says
December 14, 2016 at 2:29 amI’m not sure if it would transfer well. If you feel like giving it a try, I’d make sure to stick to a light colored stone for a stronger image.
AMY says
December 10, 2016 at 11:16 amCan I print the picture on normal paper or it has to be a photo format a professional print shop?
Analisa says
December 14, 2016 at 2:31 amThis method requires printing directly on the specialty printable tattoo paper for the transfer to work. I print it on an inkjet printer at home instead of taking it to a print shop.
Kim says
December 13, 2016 at 6:04 pmClearly I’m an idiot… the instructions with the paper were horrible, and you skipped the section on getting the photo onto the tattoo paper… do you print the photo on just regular paper? And then what- exact steps …
Analisa says
December 14, 2016 at 2:39 amPrint the photo on the white paper. Then the sticky clear side of the green paper needs to be put on the picture you printed on the white paper. Rub it and peel the clear sheet off. Then you’ll stick it on the wood like in the directions.
Fred says
December 14, 2016 at 2:51 pmI love this project! Finally got an opportunity to try it. Very easy. Turned out Great. I transferred an image of my wife and I to a slice of wood. I’m giving it to her for Christmas as one of her gifts. I’m sure she’ll Love it, as well. Thanks so much for this Great idea.
Analisa says
December 15, 2016 at 10:24 pmThanks for sharing Fred! It makes my day when people share how it’s worked out for them! What a special gift for your wife:)
cara Appelhans says
December 17, 2016 at 4:33 amYour project is beautiful!!! I was wondering if you would advise some kind of finishing spray or clear coat? Congratulations on such an awesome idea!
Analisa says
December 23, 2016 at 12:08 amI haven’t tried it myself, but I think a clear sealer should work.
Megan says
December 19, 2016 at 7:51 amWould using modge podge over the picture after protect it? Or some other type of clear coating? Any ideas.
Analisa says
December 23, 2016 at 12:10 amI would test the Mod Podge on a small piece first. Using a clear spray sealer would likely work too.
Chelsea says
December 21, 2016 at 11:55 amIs there a sealer or anything you should use on it afterwards to protect it?
Analisa says
December 23, 2016 at 12:20 amI haven’t tried it, but I think a clear sealer would work just fine.
Julie says
December 21, 2016 at 3:09 pmHey I was wondering if you thought sealing these with modern podge would be a good idea? Did you seal yours? How well have they held up? I just made several for Christmas and I love them! They turned out great but I keep thinking I need to finish them off somehow.
Thoughts?
Analisa says
December 23, 2016 at 12:24 amI didn’t seal this one and it hasn’t been a problem. I would think most people display them and rarely handle them so they should be okay unfinished. If using Mod Podge I’d test it out on a small area first. Although I haven’t tried it, I think a clear spray sealer would be your best bet.
Randee says
December 21, 2016 at 4:44 pmThis looks amazing! So easy and so beautiful! I was wondering if I should seal it? Maybe with mod podge or does it hold up without being sealed?
Analisa says
December 23, 2016 at 12:27 amThanks! This one has held up just fine without being sealed. I would try a clear spray sealer, but Mod Podge might work too.
Kayla says
December 22, 2016 at 1:01 amI was so excited to try this and give it to my mom for christmas. When I tried it tonight I used a picture of my sister my mother and I. And when I peeled it up I noticed black spots on my face. I’m thinking it it just from the wood. And recommendations for this?
Analisa says
December 23, 2016 at 12:32 amOh no! I’ve never had that happen, but I think you’re right with it having something to do with the wood. Sadly, I’m not sure of a way to fix it without redoing it. You might be able to sand the picture off the wood to try it again with a different placement.
Susan Thomas says
December 23, 2016 at 11:42 pmWE just tried this tonight, and it looks great. Our wood slice was a little short for the tattoo paper, and my daughter wonders if we could use her tool for wood burning art projects to soften the edges and remove the “cut off” look. Our concern is whether the tattoo film might be too flammable and melt right off. Any ideas?
Analisa says
January 12, 2017 at 8:18 pmUnfortunately, I don’t know how the tattoo paper would react to heat either. If it can handle the heat it sounds like a beautiful way to fix it.
Chrissie says
December 27, 2016 at 12:22 pmCan you put epoxy over this to seal it?
Analisa says
January 12, 2017 at 8:18 pmSorry but I’ve never worked with epoxy before so I’m not sure.
Nikki says
December 27, 2016 at 10:28 pmIs wood the only surface you can use this technique on? What about glass, rocks, or ceramic?
Analisa says
January 12, 2017 at 8:22 pmWood is ideal since it takes the image from the tattoo paper really well. I’m not sure about glass, rocks, or ceramic. For flat glass surfaces I’ve used this printable paper with great results.
Kathleen petrosino says
January 7, 2017 at 11:44 amWould this work on glass?
Analisa says
January 12, 2017 at 8:28 pmI don’t know if this method will work on glass. If you’re trying to put an image on a flat piece of glass try this printable paper. It’s really easy to use and my pictures always turn out great.
Kimberly proffitt says
January 31, 2017 at 8:57 amI tried this last night and my picture need up with white spots all over it. I used plain white paper and copied my daughters wedding picture. Her wedding was rustic and I thought this would be a nice gift for her anniversary coming up. It doesn’t look good I need some tips and help.
Analisa says
January 31, 2017 at 3:27 pmDid you use regular white copy paper or the printable temporary tattoo paper? The tattoo paper is absolutely necessary to make this work.
Christine Kochanowski says
February 7, 2017 at 5:57 amLove this! Did you put a clear coat of something on top? If not does dusting eventually peel off the picture?
Analisa says
February 8, 2017 at 2:39 pmThanks Christine! I never sealed it with anything. Dust/peeling hasn’t been an issue for me.
David says
February 12, 2017 at 1:14 pmLike it,gonna have to try it out on the grandkids photos, thanks.
Analisa says
February 18, 2017 at 4:40 pmHow sweet!
aysem balay says
February 18, 2017 at 11:50 amcan i use vernished wood slice as well for this project? thanks
Analisa says
February 18, 2017 at 4:44 pmI’m not sure how the tattoo paper will take to varnished wood. I recommend using an unfinished piece of wood for this project.
Brittany says
March 5, 2017 at 5:59 pmDid you have to seal it with anything?
Analisa says
March 22, 2017 at 10:13 amI did not seal it with anything, but others have mentioned clear sealer working.
orit says
March 7, 2017 at 1:02 amHi, I have a laser printer .. can I use this paper with that?
Analisa says
March 22, 2017 at 10:15 amI’m not really sure. I don’t remember it saying anything about laser printers on the packaging. I’d suggest contacting Silhouette about that.
Joyce levigne says
March 13, 2017 at 7:55 pmI’m looking forward to trying this it looks like. Fun
Analisa says
March 22, 2017 at 10:16 amThanks Joyce! I always enjoy instant gratification projects like this.
Ayesha says
March 23, 2017 at 1:22 pmI’m still so confused on how to do this. I printed my photo on the glossy side of the tattoo paper and I’m lost on what to do next. HELP
Analisa says
April 4, 2017 at 1:28 pmOnce it has been printed, put the sticky clear side of the green paper on it. Rub it and peel the clear sheet off. Then stick it on the wood like in the directions.
Katie says
April 2, 2017 at 12:12 pmCan you put a clear coat to help preserve it?
Analisa says
April 4, 2017 at 1:42 pmI didn’t, but you should be able to.
Hope baker says
April 5, 2017 at 3:17 pmWhen you say tattoo paper do u mean carbon paper
Hope baker says
April 7, 2017 at 2:30 amOk cleanely mine wasnt worth an answer. :/
Debbie says
April 7, 2017 at 7:26 amnot carbon go on amazon to order
Analisa says
April 11, 2017 at 10:47 pmThanks for answering Debbie!
Analisa says
April 11, 2017 at 10:46 pmSorry Hope…sometimes life gets a little crazy around here :)
Nope, not carbon paper. It needs to be the printable temporary tattoo paper I linked to in the post. You can find it on Amazon.
Aisha says
April 6, 2017 at 11:11 pmHi my name is Aisha i live in Botswana. I can’t find this Silhouette tattoo paper anywhere. I was wondering if it’s available in South Africa and where.
It is a great project indeed.
Thank you
Debbie says
April 7, 2017 at 12:48 amAmazon, Jet.com also even you can sometimes find it on Zulilly which is where i bought mine. Not sure which stores you have access to but try those. Good luck!
Analisa says
April 11, 2017 at 10:49 pmHi Aisha! I’m not familiar with what craft stores you have there, but I’d start my search online. I hope you find it!
Karen says
April 7, 2017 at 7:41 amCan you finish off the wood picture with a sealer of some sort, or will it make the colors run?
Analisa says
April 11, 2017 at 10:51 pmYou could definitely try it, but I don’t know how specific sealers will react. I’d test it on a small piece first if you can.
Pat U says
April 9, 2017 at 12:08 pmWhat do you use to seal the image surface on the wood after transfer? If a tattoo is done with this temporary tattoo paper, it is able to be washed off. Heaven forbid an over zealous housekeeper sprays something on this wood mounted image and ruins it.
Analisa says
April 11, 2017 at 10:56 pmI didn’t seal mine, but some people have commented that using a clear spray sealer works. Someone cleaning it with liquid hasn’t crossed my mind before. Mod Podge has a dishwasher safe sealer that might work well for this. I haven’t tried it myself, but I’d test it first to make sure the colors don’t bleed.
Heather says
April 24, 2017 at 7:51 pmDo you seal it with clear sealer after?
Analisa says
May 23, 2017 at 7:19 amA clear sealer should work.
Patty says
May 18, 2017 at 9:05 pmDoes this work on painted wood?
Analisa says
May 23, 2017 at 7:22 amI would test it out on a small painted piece first. I haven’t tried it myself, but I think it would work well as long as the paint was a light color.
Angela Bray says
May 23, 2017 at 6:09 pmDo you think the tattoo paper would work on canvas?
Analisa says
May 23, 2017 at 8:24 pmI’ve been wanting to try that actually. I think it would work well.
Meg says
June 5, 2017 at 9:40 pmI am hoping to use your tutorial and the tattoo paper to transfer lettering to a small wood cookie. Since my “image” will be only text, do you think this product will work? Unlike a photo, most of my image will be blank.
Analisa says
June 22, 2017 at 12:32 pmThe text should turn out well, but the transfer does leave a glossiness even on the blank parts. As long as that isn’t a problem I’d try it :)
Robert Farkas says
June 11, 2017 at 10:31 pmHI, what kind of printer do you use, to print the photo, and I found that this technique transfer the “white”
How? Did you youse any primer, or the printer has white ink ?
Analisa says
June 22, 2017 at 12:36 pmI used an inkjet printer to print the photo and didn’t prime the wood. It didn’t have white ink, just a typical tri color cartridge and black cartridge.
Phyllis says
June 14, 2017 at 4:10 pmI have been planning on putting pictures of my family on my kitchen table. It is in sorry condition and thought I could sand it down, paint it black and put pictures randomly down. Twould the tattoo paper work on painted surface?
Analisa says
June 22, 2017 at 12:40 pmThe pictures would probably be difficult to see on black paint. With something that gets so much use I don’t think it would hold up well either. You might look into trying Mod Podge photo transfer medium though.
Louise says
June 15, 2017 at 2:17 amWhat wood do you think works best?
Analisa says
June 22, 2017 at 12:45 pmAny piece of wood that is smooth should work well. The less knots and imperfections in the wood, the clearer your picture should transfer.
John says
June 21, 2017 at 8:56 pmVery creative. I love that., Thank
Christy says
June 23, 2017 at 5:48 amI can’t wait to try this!! Do you know what other kind of surfaces you can use with these tattoo papers?
Jana says
July 9, 2017 at 5:30 pmDo you seal it with anything?
Analisa says
July 16, 2017 at 12:15 pmA clear spray sealer should work.
CJ Gomez says
July 14, 2017 at 1:15 pmI am trying to do this for an outside project. Is this method waterproof?
Analisa says
July 16, 2017 at 12:19 pmNo, I wouldn’t expect it to withstand the weather.
Isaura says
August 18, 2017 at 2:57 pmMy guess would be no, unless you use a sealer of somekind. When I used those tattoos as a kid, they never survived the tub
Linda Perry says
July 24, 2017 at 8:33 amThat is awesome, I would like to ask if you used any sealer or clear coat ?
I want to Thank You for sharing your wonderful creation. Thanks Linda
Analisa says
August 1, 2017 at 1:02 pmThanks so much Linda! I personally haven’t tried sealing it. I think a clear spray sealer should work well and Mod Podge should also do the trick.
Clara says
September 18, 2017 at 6:31 amHi, I’m loving this idea and I want to try it myself. One question: Did you open and print the photo with the Silhouette Studio Software? Or can you just do that with any photo doftware and then print it like a normal photo, just on the Tattoo paper?
Analisa says
September 25, 2017 at 10:53 pmGreat question! I opened and printed it in Silhouette Studio, but you definitely don’t need to do that. I just used the Silhouette software because I’m comfortable with it. Since you’re cutting it out with scissors anyway, print it out whichever way is easiest for you.
Diane Mousso says
September 22, 2017 at 4:37 pmI purchase a round cheese board from the dollar store which I believe is bamboo. I am not sure if it has a finish on it or if that is it’s natural color. Would this work? Would sanding it lightly be a good idea. Thanks
Analisa says
September 25, 2017 at 10:59 pmNeat! I’ll have to keep an eye out for that board next time I’m at the dollar store. Sanding it lightly sounds like a great plan!
Tabatha says
October 5, 2017 at 11:07 amThanks for the info! I grabbed some tattoo paper from your link and I’m attempting this tomorrow. I had one quick question…. Why did you use the modgepodge and do you think it’s necessary?
Analisa says
October 15, 2017 at 8:37 pmHi Tabatha! I didn’t use mod podge or any sort of finish. I didn’t think it was necessary since this one is meant to sit on a shelf and not be handled regularly.
Lizzie says
October 14, 2017 at 3:06 pmHi!!! OK so I have read this 1000 times and am still so confused, could you pretty please help me out?? I printed my picture on the white tatoo paper, and from there I think I royally screwed up – I took the sticky part off the green paper and placed it on top of the picture, sticky side down, was that right or wrong?? From there I was so lost – can you please explain step by step for a moron like me?? LOL! I REALLY want to do this but am not sure what I’m missing here?? Do you peel the sticky piece off the picture then put the picture on the wood, or the stick piece?? HELP!! thank you!!
Analisa says
October 15, 2017 at 8:43 pmHi Lizzie! The sticky clear side of the green paper needs to be put on the picture you printed on the white paper…which it sounds like you did. From there you’ll rub it and peel the clear sheet off. Then stick it on the wood like in the directions. It sounds a lot more confusing written out than it actually is with all the pieces right in front of you. Good luck!
James caissey says
October 21, 2017 at 10:09 amWondering if this would work using sliced and polished agate or petrified wood?
Analisa says
October 24, 2017 at 8:46 pmThat’s an interesting idea! I’m not sure the picture would show through very clearly on either surface. If you have all the supplies it might be worth experimenting with though. I’d love to hear your experience if you do!
Danielle says
October 22, 2017 at 7:16 amWould this work if my printer is not an inkjet laser printer?
Analisa says
October 24, 2017 at 8:47 pmYou’ll want to use an inkjet printer.
Terry says
November 2, 2017 at 10:39 amI have an old printer, how do I know if it’s an ink jet printer? Also, is Silhouette a kind of paper that you print on with your printer instead of regular print paper?
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 10:03 pmIf you have small cartridges you put in for black and color ink it is likely an inkjet printer. Yes, the Silhouette printable temporary tattoo paper is a specialty paper you’ll need to print on for this method to work.
Naomi says
November 2, 2017 at 12:38 pmHi ! Thank you for this tutorial ! I want to try this for xmas. I have a question : if i have a regular printer that can print basic paper work and photos (when i change for photo paper), will it work for this tattoo paper? Thanks a lot !!
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 10:01 pmIt should work if it is an inkjet printer.
Jen says
November 7, 2017 at 11:17 amI suppose my HP Deskjet printer doesn’t have the correct ink for this?
Thanks.
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 10:00 pmAs long as it is an inkjet it should work. No special ink required!
Chris Yoho says
November 10, 2017 at 5:33 pmdo you use wood that is bought and xried or cut your own and use creah cut
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 10:00 pmI use precut wood slices.
Laura Vandewaal says
November 14, 2017 at 10:37 amAwesome thanks I have wreck my brain now I’m good thks
Stacy says
November 17, 2017 at 1:34 pmSo is the picture supposed to print on the clear sticky sheet? If so, typically how long should we wait for ink to dry?
Kat says
December 7, 2017 at 9:16 pmDoes the tattoo paper have to be a certain color? I see like green and white ones
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 9:56 pmIt doesn’t have to be a certain color as long as the paper works for this particular process. The paper I’ve been using is the Silhouette brand printable temporary tattoo paper.
Nancy says
December 9, 2017 at 7:40 amWe are trying this project but the wood discs keep splitting. Any idea how to prevent this or what type of wood to use? We are using oak
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 9:54 pmOh no! Sorry but I honestly have no idea about the wood. Hopefully you’ll be able to find something that works.
Jewel says
December 21, 2017 at 8:30 amSeems so simple compared to some wood transfer instructions that I found. Can’t wait to try it out!!
Andrea@LittleBIgHarvest says
December 23, 2017 at 8:59 amI just finished making 6 of these as gifts and I could not be more happy. I’d been looking at them on Etsy but couldn’t imagine spending 25+ dollars on something like this, and when I went to google DIY options, this site came up. I am fortunate that my brother owns a forest with plenty of fallen trees, so my wood slices were free. The paper is expensive, but I ended up at about 5 dollars per finished product after buying the paper and the modge podge.
A couple of tips. A coat of modge podge (wait until it’s dry) on the wood before starting helps the tattoo to ‘catch on’ and slide off more easily. Also, starting the peeling process is the trickiest part…the tattoo may not want to come off the white backing right away, so you may have to use a fingernail and gently start peeling at the edge, then use the tips of your fingernails to tap it down on the edge of the wood. Use your wet cloth to very gently pat the first edge onto the wood as you peel. Once you get an edge started with your fingernails and wet cloth, the rest just peels off like a dream.
Thanks for this tutorial, you saved me some cash and I had fun making some BEAUTIFUL Christmas gifts!
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 9:54 pmThanks so much for sharing! That is awesome! I bet having the wood come from somewhere a little personal makes them even more sentimental. Good to know about the modge podge. I’ll have to try that next time!
Randy Shaner says
December 27, 2017 at 3:42 pmAfter drying is the photo durable…can it scratch easily? Can it be protected with a clear polyurethane? Thank you.
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 9:50 pmI definitely recommend displaying it somewhere it won’t be handled much. I haven’t personally done anything to finish it, but if you check the comments others have shared some things that have worked for them.
Elmer Daniels says
January 2, 2018 at 2:44 pmIt’s beautiful, will try it soon ,thanks for sharing
GRC says
January 2, 2018 at 9:48 pmTried it. Doesn’t work. Also, the price for the paper is crazy. I paid $7 for two sheets of paper – through Amazon.
tami says
January 11, 2018 at 11:09 pmLove this! Did u use any type of sealer to finish this off? x
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 9:49 pmI haven’t personally done anything to finish it, but if you check the comments others have shared some things that have worked for them.
Linda says
January 25, 2018 at 3:27 pmCan you use a laser printer?
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 9:43 pmI believe you need an ink jet printer for this paper.
Marge says
February 1, 2018 at 3:51 amI love this project I can’t wait to try it
Gena says
February 13, 2018 at 8:44 pmCan you use photos that you have ordered from Wal Mart, Shutterfly or some other photo shop?
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 9:41 pmNo, it has to be printed on the printable temporary tattoo paper for this method to work.
Frances Wilson-Charity says
February 20, 2018 at 2:05 pmI remember when I was paying a lady big money to do my kids pictures. Then I stopped because she moved away. Thanks, I can’t wait to try this with my new granddaughter.
Maryann says
February 20, 2018 at 7:28 pmCan it be done on stone, metal or plastic?
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 9:40 pmI haven’t tried any of those surfaces myself, but it might be worth a shot.
Sharon says
March 11, 2018 at 9:09 amDo you seal the picture once its been transfered? If so..which product do you use.
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 9:40 pmI haven’t personally done anything to finish it, but if you check the comments others have shared some things that have worked for them.
Saloni says
March 18, 2018 at 4:17 amHey can we use any other temporary tatoo paper instead of Silhouette temporary tattoo paper?
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 9:40 pmAs long as the paper works in the same way I don’t see why not.
Rhonda says
April 14, 2018 at 10:09 amCan I use photo paper as to transfer my photos to wood?
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 9:39 pmNo, for this technique it has to be the printable temporary tattoo paper.
Adrienne says
April 17, 2018 at 1:18 pmHow do you make the picture larger to fill the whole piece of wood? I am trying to print a photo from my phone. Do I need to print a larger picture first?
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 9:39 pmYour printed picture will need to be as large as the slice of wood you’re using.
Valerie says
April 17, 2018 at 7:27 pmCreative and Beautiful thank you for sharing.
Ann Carpenter says
April 18, 2018 at 3:47 amLove it,thanks for sharing. I will start making lots for Christmas 2018. I will be hidden in my shed for hours. Am so excited.x
Olivia says
May 20, 2018 at 4:16 pmDo you need to finish this with mod podge at all to protect the picture?
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 9:38 pmI haven’t personally done anything to finish it, but if you check the comments others have shared some things that have worked for them.
sirley almeida says
June 13, 2018 at 2:19 pmoi, só funciona na silhouette? impressora de grafica também pode ser usada?
Analisa says
July 25, 2018 at 9:37 pmYou’ll want to use an inkjet printer to print on the Silhouette tattoo paper.
Cathey E says
October 10, 2018 at 5:08 pmThis is the BEST photo transfer method ever! The photos come out so sharp and it is so easy to do. Thank you so much for the technique.
Just as an FYI: I used the cheapest temporary tattoo paper I found on Amazon, I used some wood slices I had already sanded and sealed with ModPodge, and I sprayed the finished project with a clear acrylic sealer I bought at Walmart (again, the cheapest one on the shelf!)
The results were awesome. I can’t wait to make more.
Thanks again. What a wonderful project.
Jake Hornby says
October 15, 2018 at 6:57 amGreat idea! I wanting to try this for myself. I was just wondering whether the method would still work/work as well if I prepared the wood first with wax to bring out its natural grain? Let me know anyways!

I’ve done it both ways, with and without sanding first and with and without sealing the wood first. I had great results no matter how I did it. I also did it with and without sealing the finished product. Again, great results either way.
I had some natural stone tiles and also some glazed ceramic tiles that I used this method on to make coasters. On these, I added 2 finish coats of Mod Podge to give them a good seal as they will be subjected to moisture and wear. They turned out great. I did the coasters as shower gifts using pictures of the bride and groom. Definitely a hit! Easy, personal and fairly inexpensive. It doesn’t get better than that.
I’m looking for other ways to use this method. It is so simple and the results are consistently great.
Just a note of caution — don’t forget to flip the images before printing. I goofed on a couple, so wording is backwards on a couple of T-shirts!

September 18, 2020 at 9:39 amI was wondering if you used a shellac or gloss over it when done for protection?

August 16, 2021 at 4:14 pm“Flip” your photo using Photoshop or Microsoft Word so that when it transfers, it isn’t backwards. Determine the size you will need to print based on the measurements of your wood slice round. To test, print onto regular paper first and compare.
