Well I'm one of those Pinterest lovers. So, when I seen this on Pinterest, I had to try it. I have to say it's not as easy as they make it look. It's hard to get the paper off the wood without rubbing the ink off. But, I'm still in the process of trying to figure it out.
I've transferred several photos to wood and a couple to canvas. The transferring to wood is a lot easier than canvas. For some reason, the ink doesn't stick to the canvas as easily, or I'm not getting the photo stuck to the canvas well enough. Either way, I'm going to get it right at some point. I want to stain the wood to give it a more finished look, but haven't seemed to master that yet.
I got my directions from this blog.

I done it a little different than the website, I used the Mod Podge for both the sticking the picture to the wood and to seal it. It seems to work, and that's less money you have to spend.
Below are some that I'm done with. You'll see that I've made them look aged. I done this for two reasons. One because I like the look of it, and two because I had parts of the ink come off with the paper and wanted it to all come together to look right.

Here are three current projects I'm trying to finish up. My Mom and niece Emily helped me start them up, and they will be given to them when I'm done. You'll see that the ink has started coming off on the canvas of my sister and Emily. Hopefully it doesn't do it too bad. I don't think Emily got the Mod Podge on the canvas good enough before sticking the photo, but I think it'll turn out :)
Hope this has helped you, if your looking to do it yourself !
