How to: B&W wood photo ornaments and keepsake gift tags!
I recently did a guest post on the FedEx Out of Office blog, with a tutorial on making personalized wooden ornaments and gift tags from photocopies of your photos and drawings. It’s pretty cool, go check it out: Personalized Black & White Wood Ornaments… [ KEEP READING ] for all the step by steps.
It’s a really neat technique that just uses acrylic gel medium from the art store– no toxic chemicals or anything like that. The toner from the photocopy remains on the wood, so the white areas of your photo become wood colored, which is a really nice natural effect. I’m planning on make a bunch using some wood veneer cards to use as keepsake gift tags for gifts this year.
