Transfer Paper

[B00]

Bought Mini Boo some transfer paper along with what now seems my weekly stationary buying session today (she's a ferocious drawer!), and it seemed a good idea, until she asked me how to transfer the copied drawing back onto paper so she could colour/decorate it....and I was stumped!

I know the answer so's simple, but can't figure it out!

Help us please:-)

When you trace, use a softish pencil - the flip the paper over and go over again on your clean sheet of paper, that will transfer a pencil outline on the new sheet.

If it's anything like tracing paper I used as a child, turn it over and rub a pencil over the outline - you need to use a soft pencil ie HB to make initial outline

[B00]

She's just about to put that theory to the test Mamya, dunno whether the pencil's soft or not but she's giving it a practice as we speak.

[B00]

It worked!

Ta mamya and tony wish I could give you both BA, but I've gone with the first answer given.

To tell is a pencil is soft try jabbing it into your thigh. If it bends it's soft; if it goes down to the bone, it's hard.

[Mamyalynne]

It's just with a softer pencil you get more to transfer if you understand me.

[Mamyalynne]

Try that in WH Smiths and you may get arrested OG.

Like I said, dunno whether they're soft pencils or not, they're a bunch of cheapo ones bought from local Poundshop, lol.

[TonyV]

And typers lol

[B00]

Sorry Tony, don't understand that?

B00, if mini Boo doesn't mind, lining paper is good for drawing on and it's a lot cheaper then proper drawing paper.

How old is your daughter? I buy discounted rolls of wallpaper for around 50p each and cut into sheets for the grandlittles; also the insides of cereal boxes and anything else that can drawn and painted on.

[B00]

[B00]

Meh, not that bothered about buying pads hc, they're a quid each, even though im constantly skint I think my budget can run to about one a week ;-)

I doubt OG would get arrested, probably just institutionalised.

[Mamyalynne]

True Diz.
