To make this a do-together craft, substitute ink-jet fabric sheets and fabric glue for the iron-on transfer paper. You can easily find everything you need at craft stores and craft-supply Web sites.
When you're done, be sure to snap a photo of your kids and send it to the Nick Jr. Gallery!
Step 1
Place the iron-on transfer paper into your ink-jet color printer as indicated on the package. Depending on which transfer paper you buy, print the regular or reversed version of the Brother & Sister printable iron-ons. 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.
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.
Step 3
Peel the image from the transfer paper and place it face up on the T-shirt or other garment. Cover with the protective sheet that comes with your transfer paper and 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.
Step 4
Starting at one corner, slowly peel the protective sheet away from the garment.
Do It Together!
Print any of the Brother & Sister iron-on printables 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.
