Materials Needed

• T-shirt
• A printed image on regular paper
• Plastic wrap
• Parchment paper
• Iron

1. Select and prepare your image, choose and print in normal paper the image you want on the T-shirt

2. You can create your patches first and then place them on the T-shirt, or you can do it directly on the T-shirt putting a piece of plastic wrap at the location where you want to place the design to start

3. Place your image on the plastic wrap, and the less plastic wrap you have around the image, the better the results will be

4. Cover the image with another piece of plastic wrap, ensuring that it lies as flat as possible

5. Cover the plastic wrap with parchment paper to prevent the plastic wrap underneath from wrinkling

6. Run the hot iron over the parchment paper several times until the shirt reaches a sufficient temperature to partially melt the plastic wrap

7. Once you have finished ironing, do not lift the parchment paper immediately; wait for a few minutes until it has cooled completely

8. Carefully remove the parchment paper, and that’s it, simpler, more economical, and practical, it can’t get any easier!
