If you read the thread about d_dreamer's new chair: New chair (http://wdisneyw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41678)
she mentions using a product called "Mod Podge" to attach and seal the pictures to the chair. Maybe that might work????? Or maybe d_dreamer will have an idea for you!

Mod Podge is a decoupage glue, but according to their website (www.plaidonline.com/apMP.asp) it is a "Mod Podge is the original all-in-one sealer, glue and finish"

Another idea might be to use a clear, heavy embossing powder. But that would require buying a heat embossing tool.

Hey Sweet Girl,

So how did you do it? Just out of interest...

I'm sure there'll be other people on here with the same problem!! :)

I haven't got the need to do it right now but I'm interested to know for the the future!

Anything waterbased that has to be brushed on will cause an inkjet image to run.

My thought would be to try a polyurethene spray on both sides (front, back & front again). If you do just one side, paper tends to curl.

Experiment on something you don't care about first, please! :lol:

I had a matte paper. i used gloss insted. i used a soft paint brush i have that broke in half( from my graphic design class) Half turned out ok the rest were so-so.the Mod podge made the ink run on the lighter pictures, but on the darked pictures it did ok on.
i used Photo-shopto make a doc. 8.5x11, saved it as a jpeg. of the pictues & went to target(where i used to work:p ) the lady there knows me. i used the kodak picture maked to make a few. i did the pick up know pictues option. thanks every one!!!:)

Was it just the paper printout that you wanted made waterproof Sweer_girl.
If so, what about laminating them :shrug: :)
