Instructions:

1

Choose the artwork you want to print on your poly cotton clothes. A memorable picture of your own is perfect or you can just download a cool image from the internet. Get the image reversed as a mirror image. Remember it has to be a mirror image as when you apply it on your poly cotton garment, people read it in the correct order again.

2

After choosing your favorite image, the next step is to print the image using the iron-on transfer paper. Just put the transfer paper into the paper box of the printer, and this step is as easy and same as printing normal paper.

3

Use the scissors to cut out the image on the transfer paper. Before cutting, you need pay attention to the size you are going to use. Don’t get it too big for the garment you are going to iron on.

4

Meanwhile, put your poly cotton clothes onto the ironing board and get it smooth, especially the area on which you will iron on the image. Use the iron to press it if necessary.

5

Put your image transfer paper on the desired position of the clothes. Face the image down to the clothes.

6

After well pre-heated, use the iron to press the back of the transfer paper. Leave it on for 5 seconds each time. It’s better to put a piece of thin cloth in the between to avoid the transfer paper or the image getting burned by the heat. Then move the iron back and forth a little bit during ironing to make sure the whole image is evenly heated especially the edges.

7

Wait for about 3 minutes and allow the transfer paper to cool. Slowly peel the edge of the transfer to see if the image adheres to the poly cotton garment. If not, repeat Step 6 to ensure the whole image is transferred to the poly cotton garment.

Remove the transfer paper from the transferred image gingerly and slowly. And finally, your costom designed iron on transfer poly cotton is ready!

Still and like always, I’ll strongly suggest there be other choices to add transfers to your poly cotton clothes, to find some bling iron on transfers. Rhinestone iron on transfers are more fashionable because they are made of shiny iron-on materials like glitters, studs, rhinestones, etc, rather than just ink. And some online shops provide free custom designing service. 

You can choose the perfect ones to match the style you like! These bling transfers are both pretty in fashion and cheap in cost. After you buy these transfers, you’ll only need to iron them onto your T-shirts now.
