PRINT MY WALL PRETTY

My final print. 

CREATION: Wall Art Prints

SUPPLIES:

• Photocopy (Xerox print)
• Acetone 
• Graphite pencil
• Rugged looking paper
• Frame
• Paper towels
• Tape

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Get your piece of rugged looking paper and place the photocopy face down on top of it on a flat surface.
2. Tape down the sides of the photocopy so it doesn't shift during the transfer. 
3. Grab a paper towel and pour the acetone on it, then press down firmly and rub the back of the photocopy with it. 
4. Once covered with Acetone, quickly rub the back of the paper with the pencil (the back of the photocopy should be covered with graphite when finished). 
5. Lift up a corner of the photocopy and make sure it transferred, if not rub it harder with the graphite. 
6. Remove the photocopy and look at your beautiful print.
7. Place it in a frame, hang it on the wall and smile.



Pick out a picture you like and get it
photocopied a couple times in case
you mess up.

If you don't have a can of Acetone, grab a
little bottle of Acetone in the nail polish
remover section.

Once I finished, I put the print in a frame and added it
to my collection of frames on the wall.

You can also experiment with cardboard, I transferred
several prints to one sheet of cardboard
to make a montage.
