Iron-on

Materials Needed

Standard transfer paper

Instructions

Preparing to iron

  1. Cut around the edges of your design, leaving 1/4" of white all the way around, including text.
  2. Place your T-shirt, bag, or other material on a smooth, hard, non-porous surface. Hint: Do not use glass or a padded ironing board. We suggest a countertop or an old wooden table.
  3. Let your iron heat up for 8 minutes before using. Set it on the highest dry setting — no steam.
  4. Place a pillowcase on the ironing surface for padding, and iron it to remove any wrinkles. Make sure the pillowcase and ironing surface are completely smooth.
  5. Place the T-shirt or other material on top of the pillowcase. Iron the area on the item where the transfer will be applied; avoid placing the transfer on seams.
  6. Let the surface of the item cool before placing the transfer on top. Place the transfer with the image face down.

Ironing

  1. For best results, carefully follow the instructions included with the transfer paper.

Caring for your item

To make sure your designs remain vibrant, follow these instructions:

  1. Wash in cold water using a detergent with color protection.
  2. Always turn the item inside out to wash it.
  3. Remove the item immediately after the wash is done.
  4. For best results, line dry.
