DIY Custom Print T-Shirts | Iron-On Transfer Paper

Ever want to make your own custom print t-shirt? It's a surprisingly simple & easy DIY with iron-on transfer paper sheets. You can create a graphic tee using any graphic & print it straight from your computer then iron it onto your shirt. See below for all of the details!

WHAT I USED:
- Avery Light Fabric Iron-On Heat Transfers
- Injet printer
- Computer
- Scissors/exacto knife

STEPS:
2. Print out your graphic on regular paper as a test. Once you have adjusted the size and design, print it out on the iron-on transfer paper.
3. Cut out the graphic from the transfer paper. Anything that is left white will be transferred as clear.
4. Prep the surface you will use by placing a pillowcase on it and ironing it until there are no wrinkles. Place the shirt on top and iron it as well. Make sure the surface you are using is hard like a table or hard flooring.
5. Place the cut out transfer paper facing down on the shirt in the desired area.
6. Iron the transfer paper with pressure using back & forth motions. Be sure to have your iron set to no steam and remove all of the water. Continue ironing for the length of time according your the size of your graphic (full page- 3 mins, 1/2 page- 90 secs, 1/4 page- 45 secs).
7. Finally, let the shirt cool for 2 minutes and then peel on the transfer paper starting from an edge.

Do you need to cut out the logo like you did if you use a transparent image meaning that there is no color in the background or can you just leave the whole sheet intact because I'm very bad at cutting?

Omg thankss, now I can make any T-shirt I want with any design, for cheap, especially since stuff like stranger things, anime, and other shirts are most likely very expensive at other stores 😕😂

I'm going to try this. You're also a great motivational speaker...thank you so much!
