Transfer Text and Images to Wood Slices
Print text and images from a computer sized to fit wood slices. Cut out each letter and image with scissors. Cut a piece of transfer paper to size as well. Note: One piece of transfer paper can be used for all wood slices. Place transfer paper directly on wood slice and top with printed letter or image (Images 1 and 2). Trace with a dull pencil or closed pen/pen cap. Repeat with other wood slices.
