Directions
Cut out the laser-printed photo to fit the size of your mug.
Apply a generous layer of Mod Podge to the printed side of the photo using the foam brush.
Carefully place the photo, Mod Podge side down, onto the mug. Smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles.
Allow the mug to dry for at least 24 hours to ensure the photo adheres properly.
Once dry, dampen the paper with a small bowl of water and gently rub away the paper using a soft cloth or sponge, revealing the transferred image underneath.
Apply a final layer of Mod Podge over the transferred image to seal it. Let it dry completely before using the mug.
Variations & Tips
For a different look, try using colored mugs or experimenting with different photo sizes and shapes. You can also transfer text or patterns for a unique design. If you don’t have access to a laser printer, consider using transfer paper designed for inkjet printers. For added durability, consider baking the mug in the oven at a low temperature after applying the final layer of Mod Podge, but ensure the Mod Podge you use is heat-safe.
