Materials

• Iron-on transfer paper (for opaque fabric)
• Plex Iron-on Printable
• Scissors
• Iron
• Heavy bath towel
• T-shirt or other clothing
• Ink-jet fabric sheets (optional)
• Fabric glue (optional)

Directions

1. Step 1

   Place the iron-on transfer paper into your ink-jet color printer as indicated on the package and print the Plex Iron-on Printable. Set the printable aside for a few minutes to dry, and then cut out the images--cutting close to the colored edge of the image. Kids can definitely help with this part.

2. Step 2

   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. For best results, though, don't use your ironing board.

3. Step 3

   If you used iron-on transfer paper that requires you to print the "mirror image," place the cutout face down on the T-shirt or other garment. If you used transfer papers that do not require a mirror image, peel off its backing and place the image face up on the T-shirt. Cover with the protective sheet that comes with your transfer paper. Iron the image with firm and steady pressure in a circular motion. Start at one corner and work your way slowly to the opposite corner, and then do the same for the other two corners. Finish by moving the iron in a circular motion around the entire area for 10-15 seconds using steady pressure.

4. Step 4

   If you ironed on the image facedown, starting at one corner, slowly peel the backing away from the garment. If you ironed on the image faceup, simply remove the protective sheet.

5. Alternative: Do It Together!

   Print the Plex Iron-on Printable onto ink-jet fabric sheets and allow it to dry for at least 10 minutes. When dry, your child can cut out the image, peel it away from the backing, and stick it directly to the garment using fabric glue.
