T-Shirt Iron On
A fun and easy idea to help the birthday boy or girl celebrate their day is to create an iron-on for them to wear. Iron on transfer paper can be purchased at Walmart or any office supply store and you can get 12 sheets from anywhere between $9-12. You can also purchase online from Avery.
Here are the other tools you are going to need:
- Iron (obviously!). Set it on highest setting with no steam.
-T-shirt (white is best)
-Ruler
-Printer
-Printer Ink
Select the image you want to put on your t-shirt. In our kits we have 6" t-shirt stickers that would be perfect for this. In many of our Editable Text Kits you can also add your own text to the 6" circle (like I did in the below pic). However, you can use any image that you want. When you go to print your iron on you are going to want to select mirror print or reverse print so that the iron on isn't backwards once you apply it. Do a test print first to make sure everything looks good and to ensure your ink levels are okay before you print on your iron on transfer paper. Once you have printed on the transfer paper, cut around your image. Press your t-shirt so that there are no wrinkles. Place the iron on face down where you want to apply it. This is where the ruler comes in handy. I always measure over from the side seam to make sure I have it in the middle. Once you have your iron on where you want it, place your hot iron in the middle and then move in slow circles over the back of the iron on. I usually do this for about 2-3 minutes and you will probably see the iron on back start to pull away from the t-shirt. Gently pull the remaining backing away from the t-shirt. Voila! Their very own special birthday tee!
