Cool t shirt side
Met transfer-papier kun je een eenvoudig een coole afdruk maken op je Tshirt. Het gaat gemakkelijk maar er is wel hulp van een volwassene bij nodig omdat je met een heet strijkijzer moet werken. Het Hema transfer-papier komt met een uitgebreide handleiding erbij, lees die eerst goed door!

Read * 'Now you need Help!' Iron the T-shirt

Place the transfer with the print on the shirt and iron.

Pull the top layer gently from the print.

* Now you need help!

1. Turn the iron to maximum heat (MAX) with the steam function off.
2. Iron the T shirt where the print will be so that spot is warmed up.
3. Place the cut out print with the picture down on the hot shirt, which lies flat on the ironing board.
4. On the print a waxed paper sheet is placed, then move the iron 1 minute over the picture.
5. Move slowly but with pressure, divide the heat over the transfer cut out, do not forget the edges!
6. After 1 minute the pint must cool completely. Without the waxed paper but with the transfer paper still on.
7. Gently remove the transfer paper but only when the shirt has totally cooled.
8. Place the waxed paper back on the print, iron the print gently to seal then let the T-shirt cool again.

Place the waxed paper back on, iron 10 seconds to fixate.

Now the shirt can be washed, inside out,  on 40 °C.

Is not that übercool, a self-made T-shirt by you? Even cooler? Make your own drawing and you're a designer.
