Pretty simple actually. Plain and simple. This applies to items like the following:. Tracing paper is such a versatile medium to use for tracing images and there are two great techniques that can be used to get great looking transfers: the traditional technique and the DIY transfer paper technique.
Take your desired image or sketch you wish to transfer and tape it down to your working surface. Then, tape your tracing paper directly on top. Make sure you tape down at least edges to avoid accidental shifting during the tracing process. With a pencil or marker, trace out the lines you wish to have transferred onto the tracing paper side. I usually prefer to use pencil during this step mainly so I can figure out what lines I ultimately want transferred.
The reason is to make sure your image is transferred in the original orientation and not mirrored. Using your desired pencil or pastel of choice, retrace the lines you see from the other side of the tracing paper. Then, add the tracing paper pencil side down on top of the surface and place it where you ultimately want the lines to go.
Grab your pencil or whatever tool that you can apply small, medium pressure and go over the lines on the tracing paper. Be sure to keep a medium pressure point on your tool as you go about doing this. And if you want to make sure the transfer is going well, carefully lift one side of the tracing paper and take a peek underneath to see the lines. And yes, you will be brimming with excitement.
This method is a do-it-yourself technique that imitates the effects of traditional transfer paper but on a budget. On one side of your tracing paper, take a transfer pencil of your choosing I usually recommend charcoal pencil most for this and fill in the entire area. To help reduce unnecessary smudging, take a crumbled kleenex and wipe the paper until you get a smoother, fully covered side.
Then, add the tracing paper scribbled side down on top of the surface. Next, grab your image or drawing you want transferred and place it on top of your tracing paper image side up and tape down. Take a transfer tool like a pencil or any other tool of your choice and carefully apply medium pressure on the areas of the image you want transferred.
Be very careful to apply pressure only on the areas you want transferred, so watch where you place your hands or arms or anything that can cause unintended pressure. You can fold edges of the transparent paper with that of the image to hold the tape stronger in its place. Now use your lead pencil to trace along the outlines of that illustration.
Even though the tape is there, it is safer to also use your other hand to keep the setup in place. It is important to use a pencil for this step so that you can transfer the design on another surface later easily. When you are done tracing the entire image or illustration, take off the tapes from the paper edges. Now flip this traced paper on your target surface so that the pencil marks are directly touching it. All you have to do now is follow the traced lines and rub them over the underlying surface.
It is better to use watercolor paper, sketchbook paper, canvas or a similar surface for making this transfer. The pencil marks will show up most clearly on these textures. For those of you who have an interest in creating art in the form of clothes, it must be important to recreate your envisioned design flawlessly on fabric.
Tracing paper can help you in this endeavor by accurately transferring the motifs from the original page to the cloth. To begin, trace your chosen pattern on the tracing paper by keeping the paper on it. Use a ball pen or a sharp marker whose ink does not get smudged on paper for this step.
Prepare your fabric for sewing in the next step by properly placing it in the embroidery frame. Doing so will keep that area uniform and steady throughout your sewing work. After fully copying the design on tracing paper, place it on the framed fabric and use basting techniques to hold it there. In needlework, baste means to use long and loose stitches to keep something in place.
It must be a pencil. Ink won't work with this technique so no pens or markers. And you'll need a blank sheet of paper. Step 1. Let's get started. Write a word or draw anything on the blank sheet of paper. Step 2. Take your tracing paper and place it on top of your word or illustration. Step 3. Trace your word or illustration onto the tracing paper with your pencil.
Or you can skip all of those steps and just draw directly onto the tracing paper as well. Step 4. Turn your sheet of tracing paper around and trace over the words again on the back side of the sheet.
