1
First, print out your images and cut them out.
Use laser or similar printer for this. I read that inkjet printers doesn't work for this.
I found out that printer paper works the best.Also make sure you reverse all of the pictures and letters before printing out!

2
Roll out your polymer clay. Thicker clay is better to work with.
-
3
Put image of your choice onto clay.
You can also take colorful pictures, i just had black & white printer. ;) For better results of colorful images, take white clay. -
4
Put really small amount of water onto paper.
Too much water makes next step harder. -
5
Carefully start to rub off the paper with your finger. Do this carefully, making sure that picture doesn't moves or breaks. (excuse my English)
-
6
Keep rubbing the paper off. You can see the picture through the paper now.
-
7
Rub the paper off completely and the ink will remain on the clay.
-
8
Use napkin or piece of fabric to clean the excess paper off the clay. Also do this carefully.
