Susan of TurtleSoupBeads is an excellent polymer clay instructor on her youtube channel. Sometime ago, I shared her awesome tutorial on how to transfer nail foil prints onto polymer clay.
The process is actually very easy – glue down the nail foil to the wood and then almost immediately, slowly peel away the backing foil. But first I had to test which glue would work best.
The first thing is to prep the wood. I sanded and then stained them with water based wood stain – I like the Saman brand. Acrylic paints will work too – dilute them with water if you want a wood stain look.
I sprayed each adhesive on the stained pieces of test wood and waited a few minutes. Then I used either my finger or the back of a plastic spoon to rub the foil onto the wood.
Only the tacky type of glue worked for me. I am not quite sure why this is the case. Perhaps it is because it’s designed to work on flexible surfaces?
