How to transfer a b/w picture onto almost any surface using paint thinner. Hey there! I've been asked to show how I made my fabric button displays with my label printed on them. Finally, the waiting has come to an end :) It's a great technique to transfer pictures onto a shirt, designs onto fabric for embroidery, etc. It's also used to prepare metal surface for etching. From my experience, I can say that this is fairly permanent on fabric, I've been mercilessly washing my printed shirt, and though slightly faded, it still is undeniably present. That's why I wouldn't recommend it for the use with delicate embroidery, but if you're going to cover all of it with (dark) thread, it could as well work.
It's really quite simple, but I have to inform you: we will be dealing with potentially dangerous chemicals, that means: no smoking, no inhaling, eating & drinking of the paint thinner, and no kids left unattended! What you need: a computer a laser printer (more specifically, something printed on a laser printer ;) copyshop will also work!) Next: print!
