Create Your Own! Have You Heard of "Skeleton Photos" That Shine Through Like the Sky with Laminate Transfer?

Amazing! What's with the "Skeleton Photos"?

Take a look!

Don't you think this photo, which is translucent against the blue sky, is amazing?

This semi-transparent photo is referred to as "Skeleton Photos," "Clear Photos," "Transparent Photos," or "Clear Photo."

It's not made transparent by special processing or printing methods, but is made semi-transparent by transferring a regular photo onto lamination film*

Instead of ordering from a store, you can make it at home, so let me introduce the method ♩

《How to Make Skeleton Photos》

① Copy the photo onto regular paper and cut it out

(If you use an inkjet printer, the ink may bleed, so a laser printer is recommended. If you don't have one at home, printing at a convenience store is fine ♩)

② Stick the photo onto the adhesive side of the lamination film and cut it out (using the "self-laminating film" sold at 100-yen shops is easy and recommended)

③ Rub it with a ruler or something similar so that the photo sticks to the lamination film

④ Soak it in water, and by rubbing the back side, the photo will transfer to the lamination

⑤ Laminate the opposite side as well, and cut off the excess to complete it ♡

Adding a frame around it (by cutting and pasting paper) gives it a Polaroid-like style and looks stylish ♡
