Silhouette Tattoo Paper on Wood

Hey, Thanks for stopping by. So today I want to talk about the Silhouette Clear Temporary Tattoo Paper (Whew! mouthful).

There are a few different types we carry but we are going to focus on the Clear Tattoo Paper.

I have to say I was a little nervous to try it out, but it has been done before and trust me, its not scary.

You will need:

Tattoo Paper
Wood surface
Water
rag or cloth of some sort
Inkjet Printer (Must be and Inkjet)

I thought it would be fun to make a cute little wooden planter box, so I found this cute little box from Hobby Lobby that was perfect for this project.

I measured the box, which was just under 6x6 so I just makde my pictures a 5.5x5.5 size in my Silhouette studio and turned them black and white with the Effects Feature. You can leave them colored as well if you like that look.

Before you start; read the instructions that are on the inside of the package.You will want to make sure and print on the correct side of the Tattoo paper or else the Tattoo will not work.

Don't forget to mirror your images

Once it has printed out, let it dry for just a bit, then you will apply your Tattoo Adhesive (included) just like your would Transfer Tape with Vinyl.

There is a nice little break at the top of the adhesive sheet which makes it easy to start applying and line it up, just using your application tool, SLOWLY lower it down while burnishing it onto the Tattoo Paper.

Since I was just working with basic shapes I did not need to use my Registration marks, just trim up your boxes with scissors or a paper trimmer.

Here comes the fun part, remove the adhesive liner that was just applied before trimming them up, then position the images in the center.

This step applies that adhesive so watch your fingers it will be sticky.

Then take your rag and dab it in some water and pat it around the tattoo paper until you see the image show through, just like you would on skin, slowly lift the paper backer,checking that the images is staying behind.
