DIY: T-shirt

I love to mess with T-shirts. Here I created a screen print.

the elements:
-t-shirt (unadorned, or adorned if you think it will work)
-a usable image (found online or from another source)
-a color printer
-iron-on transfer paper
-iron/ironing board

Print out the image on a piece of the iron-on transfer paper. Trim the blank space from around the image. Place the image on the garment in the correct place, facing the correct way. Follow the ironing instructions on the iron-on paper package. Let it cool, and then peel away the paper extremely carefully. (Remember: after the shirt is completed, DO NOT iron the screen EVER - it will stick to the hot iron and melt away.) This method of screening can be used on jackets, totebags, skirts, dresses, almost anything. Enjoy.
