{ born to rock iron-on transfers }

I read a TON of DIY blogs and I have so many ideas running around in my head. I started out wanting to make THESE adorable little burlap dresses for my nieces, only there were 2 problems.
1. I don't have a sewing machine
2. Even if I had a sewing machine
I wouldn't even know what to do with it

Sooooooo...... I my friend who is and *uber* talented graphic designer whipped these images up for me faster than I could have figured out how to thread a sewing machine. Here is the image that is already "mirrored" so that it will transfer the right way. *The first mistake I made was not printing them as a "mirror" which meant I ruined the first pack of iron-on transfers $6.73


Step 1: print the images onto transfer paper- be sure to print them as a mirror image so they transfer the right way onto the t-shirt.

Step 2: After you wash and dry your t-shirt, iron the area where the transfer will adhere just to be sure it's nice and flat as well as dry- very important.

3. Trim the image and lay it onto the desired area and then iron according to the package directions.




Here is the finished product!!
The fronts say Born To Rock (their dad plays bass guitar)




The back says God Bless America and it has the same flourish image from the front. My sister (the girls' mom) bought little blue skirts for them to wear to the party they are hosting tomorrow.

P.S. The image is available for purchase in my Etsy shop if you are interested, although it is not personalized with their names.
