I heard about this tutorial at The Country Chic Cottage and have done a few projects using it and I think I'm obsessed!
Here's my how-to!
Supplies:
-100% Acetone Nail Polish (It HAS to be 100% or it won't work)
-A tea towel
-A black and white image that has been darkened and copied on a TONER INK CARTRIDGE! Inkjet and laser jet WILL NOT WORK!
Protect the work surface with a cutting baord or piece of cardboard.
Place your image face down on the towel.
Saturate a cotton ball, napkin or toilet paper (that's what I did) with nail polish remove and dab a GENEROUS amount over your image You'll be able to see the image on the backside. How long and how much nail polish remover to use really depends on your image-just lift up a corner and peak carefully.
Let it dry and wash it and use your towel!
*Sorry for the terrible pictures, but my camera is apparently dieing, which is always great, right? And I can't find my charger for my back up camera, so you get a blurry picture of the finished project. I know, you're welcome :)

That is such a great tip! I never knew you can do that. Thanks so much for sharing and linking up to this week's Catch a Glimpse party. I'll be featuring this tomorrow.
Thank you! I have to tell you, though, if you want a decent looking picture for the feature, you might want to use one from my previous post about the nail polish remover transfer here:

My camera was literally dieing for the towel tutorial, so the pictures are horrible!!
Such a great idea! I can't remember which linky party I found you on, but I'm you're newest follower. Hope you will drop by Vibrant Serenity sometime.
You make it look really easy...THANKS for the inspiration!!
