Tissue Paper Printing - is it really so easy??

If you've been following me on YouTube you'll know that I am in love with printing on tissue paper! But I know for some of you it's not that easy to do, so I have some tips listed below that might help.


  1. Cut the tissue paper about an inch smaller than the printer paper size.

  2. Tape the tissue paper in the middle of the printer paper, I usually tape all across the top and halfway down the sides.

    1. If the tissue paper gets jammed in your printer, try taping it all the way around making sure non of the edges are open. That way it won't catch on your printer feeder.

    2. If your printer has a paper feeder on the top, try that method to see if it works better.

3. Wait about 15 minutes before using mod podge on your tissue print. That way it has a good amount of time to dry completely and will hopefully prevent smudges or bleeding.

4. Use small scissors to cut out the print so you have more control and the tissue doesn't rip.


If you need more help, I just uploaded a video tutorial on my Sandra's TEK Spot channel, https://youtu.be/Rl-lVjnB27Q. Happy Printing!!

I just found your you tube page today and enjoyed your crafts. I got some good ideas and with your free printables (by the way thank you for those) I'll be able to get started on a couple soon. Not this weekend as I'm babysitting 3 grands and that is a handful for this old lady! Thanks again for the free printables!

I watched your videos and I do so love your crafts but I must have missed what kind of printer you use. I have an HP Envy and I believe it's an ink jet. I know that I have tried Mod Podging things I have printed on regular printer paper but the ink smears. Please please tell me this is not just one more thing I 'need' for cool crafts. Toodles!
