Some projects call for precision. If you can't freehand a tree the way you want it or you want a word to look perfectly font-like transferring is the way to go. You don't need special paper, just a little trick and a pencil.
Hint: when you plan on painting your design white or another light color, don't press very hard when tracing. You only need a faint line.
- First, print out your design. I wanted to number the drawers in my hallway built in. For larger designs you may need to have it printed at a copy store. My words were small enough to easily print off my computer printer at home.
- Next, flip the paper over and shade the back of the design with a pencil.
- Turn the paper over onto your smooth surface. Making sure your paper is properly aligned, trace around the design with the pencil and delight as it is seemingly magically transferred onto your wall, cabinet drawer, or photo box.
