Materials

Directions

  1. Step 1

    <b>Print and Cut Out the Design</b><br> Choose the iron-on image based on what kind of transfer paper you are using (faceup or reversed). Follow the instructions on your iron-on paper pack for printing the image onto the transfer paper and set aside to dry for a few minutes. Then, cut the image close to the colored edge of the design.

  2. Step 2

    <b>Prepare Your Work Surface</b><br> Preheat the iron and fold the towel into thirds on a countertop or other hard surface. To further protect your countertop, you may want to place a magazine or a large book under the towel.

  3. Step 3

    <b>Time to Iron</b><br> Iron your tote to ensure the area where you place the image is smooth. Then, place your image centered on the bag. If you printed the reversed image, place the cut-out facedown. If you printed the non-reversed image, place the cut-out faceup. Iron the image with firm and steady pressure starting at one corner and working your way slowly to the opposite corner, and then do the same for the other two corners.

  4. Step 4

    <b>Personalize the Bag</b><br> Now that you have a beautiful Dora dance bag, use a fabric marker and help your child write her name on the dotted line.
