Technique School: A transferred Design with Fabric Paint
#v13683
Transfer printing is a technique where a design on transfer paper is ironed onto a piece of fabric. Here we have used a T-shirt with a design drawn and painted directly onto the transfer paper.

How to do it
1. Paint on the soft side of the transfer paper and leave it to dry.
2. Use a textile marker for drawing a design on the painted surface.
3. Separate the transfer paper from the backing paper. Place the 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.
