To give your shirt a unique style, just use a sheet of paper to print on the fabric.
Steps
Step 1. Create the image you want to transfer to the shirt in any image editor, or open an existing one
Flip the image horizontally on the paper. The image must be reversed, in this way it will be in the right direction when you transfer it to the shirt
Step 2. Print the image on a sheet of paper for printing on fabric
Step 3. Cut out the paper where needed
Remember that everything you leave behind will be transferred to the shirt.
Step 4. Place the shirt on a flat, hard surface, such as a table
Use a clean shirt.
Step 5. Preheat the iron
Step 6. Iron the folds of the shirt
Make sure that the shirt is perfectly flat before transferring the image.
Step 7. Remove the protection from the print paper
Step 8. Place the image to be transferred on the shirt, where you would like it to be printed
Step 9. Place a soft kitchen cloth or terry cloth folded in two on the sheet with the image to be transferred
Step 10. Place the iron on the cloth and make circular movements, from the center of the image outwards
Consult the instructions on the packaging of the sheets to find out how long this process should take.
Step 11. Wait until the print cools down completely
Step 12. Slowly and gently remove excess paper, starting at one corner
Advice
- Turn the shirt inside out when you wash it to prevent the print from fading or being damaged.
- Be careful not to burn the paper during the transfer process, otherwise your image will be ruined.
- Dry the shirt at low temperatures to prevent it from getting damaged or shrinking.
- Before printing the image, make sure you have it upside down.
- It's okay to use fine cloths, but not too much (don't see through). The cloth has the function of absorbing heat, so as not to burn the print.
- Remember to use a hard, clean surface when ironing the print. It will prevent ripples from appearing, and make printing easier.
-
Image Quarter of an Inch from Design. If you are printing a figure, cut it out leaving half an inch of the border.
Warnings
- The iron and steam are VERY HOT. Be careful.
- If the children want to help you make your own shirt, or want to make their own, remember that adult supervision is MANDATORY.
