A transferred Design with Neopastels
#v13861
Transfer printing is a technique where a design on transfer paper is ironed onto a piece of fabric. We have used a shopping bag with a design coloured with Neopastels on transfer paper.

How to do it
1. Use Neopastel oil pastels for colouring on the soft side of the transfer paper. (Please note this is the only type of colouring crayons that can be used for this purpose).
2. Using a template, draw the outline of a shape, a letter or similar onto the transfer paper and cut it out.
3. Separate the transfer paper from the backing paper.
4. Place the cut-out design on top of the fabric with a piece of baking paper on top. Now iron the design, fixing it onto the fabric, setting the iron at a high temperature. NB: The item can now be washed in the washing machine on a gentle cycle at 30°C.
