First, I cut out several images from the Cut-Apart pages found in the Place in Time 12x12 Paper Pad and arranged them in a type of quilt-like pattern on the apron. Once I was satisfied with the arrangement I began to prepare my images.
Coat each image very generously with Mod Podge. The side which you wish to appear on your project, is the side that you should be coating with Mod Podge.
Transfer image, face down, onto your work surface and smooth out, ensuring to wipe off any excess product. Continue these steps until all your images have been placed on your project and let dry overnight.
With a spritz bottle, soak your images with water - REALLY soak them. Using a circular motion, rub off the top layer of paper with your fingers. Your image should appear.
Once complete, you can leave as is, but I found my images quite faded looking so I decided to finish with an extra coating of Mod Podge which helped to bring out the bolder colours again. NOTE: I do not recommend this step for fabric. I discovered that it makes the material quite 'crunchy'...LOL! Would look fantastic on a hard surface however.

Tara, this is the coolest and you are the cutest!
I LOVE what you did with this apron!
Wow!!! So cool!!
If you put the photo face down on the apron and then rub off the paper doesn't any wording appear backward? Either way it is a cute idea.

The apron is a fabulous idea for a present for a loved one who is also into cooking. The prize looks wonderful as well. I love all of the Graphic 45 items and I also love Mod Podge.
I tend to think of Modge Podge as an old product and forget that you can do such amazing projects with it! Thanks, Tara! I love this idea!
what a neat idea to use the beautiful Graphic 45 papers on an apron!
