How to decorate your own T-shirts with heat transfer paper

    If you are a design lover, it’s worthy for you to read this article.

    First, you have to select or make a design. There are so many designs that you can get online as long as they are not bound by copyright law. If you draw or design well, you can use Adobe Photoshop to create and improve your designs. After you have chosen the design, you can now use heat transfer paper to make the shirt.

    Second, put the heat transfer paper in your inkjet printer's paper tray. The heat transfer paper should be placed in the proper way that will allow your paper to print on its dull side. Look at the design one more time and see if you are perfectly happy with it. The image has to be flipped horizontally because the reverse is what will be printed out. After you have placed the heat transfer paper in the right way, select the print option on your computer.

    After the image has been placed on the heat transfer paper, you should cut out everything except the outline of the image. You need to remove all the parts of the heat transfer paper that do not have printing on it.

    Third, use an iron and put the setting to cotton. When the iron is hot enough, you can start ironing it without any steam. Ironing will take out the moisture will prevent your t-shirt from being wrinkled. You are now ready to apply the image onto the shirt.

    There is one thing you need to be told: the heat transfer paper should be placed face down. Iron the heat transfer paper onto the cotton shirt and keep it there for 20 seconds at maximum. Iron on all of the portions. A good advance is to iron at the center first and do a circular motion in ironing the rest of the image.
