Transferring images and patterns
For furniture,
murals, walls, ceilings, floors, and
fine art techniques
Create
your own transfer paper simply and cheaply. You can
transfer your patterns and images onto virtually any
surface with this easy method.

Painting this cheery sun face onto a foot
stool was quick and easy once the image was
successfully transferred onto the painting
surface.
Step 1:
Using a piece of tracing paper take a soft
lead pencil (4B, 5B or 6B lead) and rub over
one side of tracing paper. This will be your
transfer paper.
Step
2: illustrate the image you would like to
use on a piece of tracing paper or regular
paper. Using tracing paper allows you to over
lay sheets of paper and trace the image until
you are satisfied with the final results.
Step
3:
Place your illustration over the surface you
would like to transfer onto and secure the
drawing with tape so it cannot move.
Next
slide the newly made transfer paper, with
the graphite side facing down, between the
illustration and the working surface.
Step
4:
Trace
over the drawing. This will leave a light
pencil impression onto the object you are
transferring to.
Step
5: Remove the illustration and
transfer paper. You can now paint over
the 'transfer lines' and erase any
visible pencil lines once your are done.
