Article: Use a craft brush to spread the transfer medium so that your fingers stay clean. Apply a generous layer of transfer medium to the section of glass that you’ll apply the image to. You can purchase gel transfer medium at any craft or hobby-supply store. Containers of transfer medium are typically marked “matte gel” or “Mod Podge.” Carefully position the image over the area of glass you’d like to apply it to. Set it down onto the glass, and use your fingers to press and flatten the gel-covered image into place. Once you’ve pressed the image into place, avoid sliding it around on the glass surface. If there are any air bubbles between the paper and glass, the image won’t transfer fully. Slide a squeegee gently over the surface of the image to press out any air bubbles. You can purchase a squeegee at a local hardware store. The image transfer will be ruined if you attempt to remove the paper before the gel has fully dried. If you live in a humid climate, the gel may require more than 24 hours to dry. The particular type of transfer gel that you use may have slightly different drying directions. Follow these directions to ensure the image transfers properly. Slide a dampened sponge across the back of the paper. The water will soak into the paper and allow you to rub it off of the glass. Make sure to wring out the damp sponge before you apply it to the photo paper. Do not use a soaking wet sponge. Now that you’ve dampened the paper, you can remove it from the glass. Work over the surface of the paper, making small circles with your thumb to break up and loosen the paper. As the paper comes off, you’ll be able to see the image stuck to the glass. The Mod Podge image should remain on the glass as you finish rubbing off any remaining patches of paper.
