💡 Success Pro-Tip:
For hand-drawn designs, ensure your markers are dry before ironing. If you are printing a photo, remember to **Mirror/Flip** your image in your software settings so it appears correctly once transferred face-down.
Supervision: While children love drawing on these, we recommend adult supervision for the high-heat ironing process.
Simple 5-Step Process
- Create: Print or draw your design onto the matte side of the sheet.
- Trim: Cut away any excess paper around the edges of your image for the cleanest look.
- Heat: Place the design face-down on the fabric. Use a dry iron (no steam) on a hard, flat surface.
- Press: Apply firm pressure for 60–90 seconds, moving the iron constantly.
- Peel: Allow the sheet to cool slightly, then peel the backing away to reveal your art.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a laser printer?
No. This material is specifically coated for inkjet ink or hand-drawing tools. Laser heat will damage the sheet.
Will the design fade in the wash?
The transfer is durable and holds color well. For maximum longevity, wash garments inside-out in cold water.
Do I need special pens for drawing?
Most standard felt-tip markers, crayons, and colored pencils work beautifully. Avoid oil-based paints or pens that don't dry quickly.
