Burlap Tissue Paper Printed Photo Art

Happy Sunday Friends!  I’m so excited to be participating in Kristen’s awesome month-long Decorating with Pictures series on her gorgeous blog, Capturing Joy.  Today I’ve got a fun… kinda rustic… DIY Photo Project to share with you guys.  This burlap tissue paper printed photo art is such a fun craft and it makes for unique photo art.

Burlap Tissue Paper Printed Photo Art Tutorial

When I was originally brainstorming projects I wanted to print their photos directly on the burlap.  If you’ve been around my blog you know I adore burlap and sell Burlap Beauties (burlap signs ~ see my menu bar).  Well… the black and white photos I tried to print ended up looking more like Halloween art then cool photos I’d want to display… so plan B.  A while back I created some printed shell art by printing on tissue paper so I thought I’d try that here.

 Burlap Tissue Paper Printed Photo Art Tutorial

You start by using 1 sheet of tissue paper and trim it so it’s about 2” wider than the copy paper on all sides.

Fold the tissue paper onto the back, taping it down with clear tape to hold it in place.

Then run in through your printer.  My printer took it… no problems at all.

Let the printed tissue paper’s ink dry for a few minutes, then carefully remove the tissue paper from the copy paper.

Then I took a piece of 8×10 burlap and used a decoupage medium and brushed on a coat.

Once coated you want to place your printed tissue paper on top of the decoupaged burlap.  Make sure you have it lined up exactly how you want it before you lay it down… once it’s down, it’s not coming up without ripping.

Then gently smooth the tissue paper onto the burlap… very gently!

Once smoothed, apply another coat of the decoupage medium on top of the tissue paper.

Let them dry thoroughly.  The edges will start to curl, but it flattens out perfectly when you place it inside the frame.

I love the cool… rustic… aged look you can create with this technique!

Just a reminder… use your printer with your best judgment… if I had an expensive printer I don’t think I would have tried.

Thanks friends for stopping by & have a blessed Sunday!

    I love the aged effect. It reminds me of looking at old/vintage postcards, which I love!

      Becky I used a Lexmark ink jet printer… one of the cheaper $30ish range ones. Not sure if I’d try it on a laser or if it would even work??

    Thanks Darlene!
