How to transfer images with nail polish remover

Another time we talked about the technique to transfer photographic images to a support on that occasion was on canvas , today we will see a very similar technique but using something as affordable and current as acetone used to remove nail polish . The surface on which pictures are transferred is on this occasion some unglazed decorative tiles, although it would on wood, canvas or any other medium hard and unglazed.

As you see in this occasion is also color photographs can also be made with black and white photographs. The result is very good and simple technique, but it requires a certain degree of physical effort. You have to rub and rub to get the paper to transfer the image to the chosen support.

The materials needed are:

• Unglazed tiles.
• Print laser family photographs.
• Removers.
• A sponge brush.
• Bone folder, may also serve the handle of a spoon or similar.
• A sheet of acetate.
• Transparent varnish.

We put two or three tiles in the microwave and heat it for a minute, this helps to transfer pictures better. Redial that prints should be made with laser printer, we can order them to a printing center. Then place the print on the tile and pour nail polish remover over well with the brush soaking. We place the acetate sheet on top and began to scrape the bone folder, such as nail polish remover evaporates quickly will need to take a little more from time to time. And keep scratching with the bone folder to remove all the paper and have the image in sight. We washed with water to remove any remaining paper. Let dry and then we can apply a protective varnish. We can place adhesive felt in the back of the tile if we place it on a table or use them as coasters.

And we will have our tiles printed ready to have in our home decoration or gift. It's a great gift for family and friends, at festivals or celebrations.
