Directions
- Start by printing your chosen X-ray images with a dry toner copier.
- Brush Mod Podge Photo Transfer Medium onto the printed side of the photocopy.
- Lay the paper, coated side down, onto black fabric and press firmly. Let it dry and cure for a full 24 hours.
- Dampen a sponge with water and wet the paper side. Wait about 2 minutes, then gently rub the paper off using small circular motions. Keep rubbing until all paper residue is removed.
- Cut the transferred image to 8 inches by 10 inches. Also cut a second piece of black fabric the same size.
- Place the two fabric pieces with their right sides facing each other. Sew around the edges with a quarter-inch seam allowance, leaving a gap on one side for turning. Turn the pillow right side out, fill it with fiberfill, and hand-stitch the opening closed.
