Stop buying expensive clear stickers and try this packing tape transfer hack/tip instead! 🤯 In this quick tutorial, I show you how to transfer vintage text and lace directly into your art journal using just clear packing tape and clear gesso. It’s an oddly satisfying process and the perfect way to add seamless layers to your mixed media backgrounds.
Supplies used for this hack:
- Clear packing tape (Parkside)
- Maremi's Collage Book 'whispers between the music notes'
- Clear Gesso (to seal and prep the surface)
📚 All of my Collage Books are available worldwide on every Amazon store 👇
