I Made My First T-shirt at Home with an Electric Iron and Transfer Paper

Last month, my friend and I were so attracted by a T-shirt in Zara, but it’s huge for me. Again, I can’t find the ideal T-shirt because of the size or the design. I think I can make one for myself. Today, I just reused an old T-shirt and pasted a picture I like. The next step is to make the T-shirt from scratch/cloth.

1. Tools: Electric Iron, Printer, Cutter
2. Materials: Print Transfer Paper
3. Process (Edit the picture, print and cut, and iron it)
4. How does the transfer paper work?
5. Next step: finding cloth and making a T-shirt that fits me

1. Tools: Electric Iron, Printer, Cutter

(1) Iron

There are two types of iron; one is normal home use, and the other is a professional heat press. I have the former one which I’ve never used before.

(2) Printer

I don’t know how to make T-shirts using laser prints. I got a inkjet printer which I used to make stickers How to Make Stickers from Home with a Basic Epson WF-2850
