Let me show you how to make your very own piece of clothing. All you\u2019ll need is an iron, some transfer paper, and your clothing of choice. I chose to do a cotton t-shirt because why not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Necessities:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&nbsp;Transfer paper<\/li><li>Iron<\/li><li>Cotton T-shirt or sweatshirt<\/li><li>Printer<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pick out your desired design you\u2019d love on your piece of clothing! I chose to do the Roberta\u2019s Art Gallery logo here on campus! Before you print your design, be sure to mirror your image like I did, so that it transfers on to your shirt correctly. Since my design had text, it was extra important that I mirror the image. For example, I held my paper up to the sunlight so I could see what it would look like when ironed on to the shirt. Also, be sure to print your design specifically on to your transfer paper!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-11-at-9.42.53-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8426\" width=\"300\" height=\"405\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-11-at-9.43.02-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8428\" width=\"302\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-11-at-9.43.02-AM.png 390w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-11-at-9.43.02-AM-220x300.png 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-11-at-9.43.10-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8427\" width=\"305\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-11-at-9.43.10-AM.png 398w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-11-at-9.43.10-AM-224x300.png 224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 305px) 100vw, 305px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cut out your design of course!

Lay down a pillowcase so you have a layer of fabric in between your t-shirt and your countertop. Iron out your pillowcase as well so that it doesn\u2019t transfer any wrinkles to your t-shirt accidentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-11-at-9.46.40-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8430\" width=\"321\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-11-at-9.46.40-AM.png 394w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ucinfo\/files\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-11-at-9.46.40-AM-243x300.png 243w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 321px) 100vw, 321px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iron out your t-shirt so that there are no wrinkles and you\u2019re working with a crisp, fresh t-shirt. Place your transfer paper design face down, and iron it on! I ironed mine on for around a minute and a half, making sure to firmly iron over the edges of the design.
