10 Minute Image Transfer on Fabric

[@brunettescorpio7886]

The method I prefer is....cut a piece of freezer paper that will fit in your inkjet printer...I always cut it standard size 8 1/2 inches X 11 inches. Place a piece of muslin the same size on top of the shiny side of the freezer paper and go over it with a hot iron. The fabric will stick to the freezer paper which will allow it to go through your printer . Load it into your printer and print your image directly on the fabric. When done, simply peel the freezer paper off the fabric.

[@sarahmariakuipers3967]

Love to try this thank you

[@wutarrwedoin]

This is a good method but it can (and will after a while) mess with the printer. I did this throughout my BFA and or works but should be done with a old printer or one you're comfortable with potentially messing up

[@cheryl2651]

Ah whaaat. That's amazing, would love to try it too! Thanks for sharing - have you personally tried it a few times? Your printer is okay? Wow sounds so easy

What is freezer paper?

[@lzrd8460]

We don’t have freezer paper in my country. Nor wax paper, only parchment paper. Is there another kind of paper I can use?

[@dshe8637]

Images on fabric are really exciting. Some years ago, I bought some fabric that goes straight into the printer. It was quite expensive, so always good to have more affordable techniques. My daughters went to Japan for a holiday and sent some beautiful photos back via their phones. While they were still there, I printed some and made a patchwork quilted wall hanging, ready for when they got back! I must have been super organised and motivated that week. Not my usual crafting way😂

Magic Eraser is meant to be used wet so perhaps wetting it first would help keep it from over working the photo. Thanks for the nice tips on how to do this quickly.

[@JudiChristopher]

But... when it is WET it has soap in it... and the soap would then go onto the picture... Right?

[@nellcovington4001]

@@JudiChristopher Magic Eraser does not have soap in or on it. It is just a solid material that turns kind of spongy when wet. It is a slightly abrasive product used for scrubbing various things like stove tops, dishes, etc. Hope this helps.

@@JudiChristopher wrong. Magic erasers are made of minute particles of melamine. There is no soap in them.

[@eh2179]

@@JudiChristopher no soap in it. Dampen it ever so slightly under a tap. I squeeze excess out before using it. It’s great on scuff marks on a staircase wall for example. It is slightly scratchy so will take some paint off with scuff mark so use it gently and turn it to use a new clean edge.

Thank you! I will definitely try that! I’ve done a similar technique with transfers to clear packing tape. But you don’t need the matt medium, you stick it down, burnish it, soak it and rub the paper off the same way. You also don’t need the heat gun.

So true about the heat gun…I found mine on the floor in the morning having fallen off my craft table, the fall switched it on and it was on ALL night and burnt my carpet. Absolutely horrified this had happened and what might have happened had I not gone in to the room wondering what the noise was. I now keep it propped inside a hairdryer holder (bought cheap one from Aldi). It doesn’t roll on to the floor now. Nice and stable.

Very kewl. Way back in the day, maybe late 80's, I used a medium called "picture this" to do t shirts & it worked the same way. It was probably the same stuff, & I was over paying for it lol. I would get color copies of photos blown up for the t shirts.

[@xmobile.]

I haven't tried this yet, but as far as the last bit of rubbing off hazey paper goes, where you use magic eraser... I'm wondering if you could just coat it with more matte medium which might just make it disappear... For instance using plastic resins, if you have a scratched or fuzzy layer, adding a coat over top just makes it all disappear... not sure about paper... but the action is kind of like making it permanently wet.

[@goldbadge15roxannakelly89]

After it's dry you can use non yellowing clear coat, I love doing it you can wash it in the washing michhine

[@acehisson6588]

does this add a plasticy feel to the fabric?

[@jazzspurs]

Can you use mod podge instead of matte medium?

[@thefrillyfarmhouse]

I do

[@dianaknapstein5033]

Even easier: Load your ink jet printer with butcher paper. (Print on the dull side. ) Scan your image onto your computer. Print image onto butcher paper. Cut out image, leaving only enough to tape it on your fabric or other project. Do not touch image as it will smear. Using a wooden spatula, rub all over the image to transfer it.

Thank you for giving me hope with my laserjet for image transfers!! I dont plan to ever waste my money on another inkjet since they seem to be built tp be disposable.

[@dragonflylover1211]

I can completely understand not wanting to prewash your fabric, I avoid when I can because im not patient either lol. However one of the reasons your print is possibly coming off the fabric is the sizing chemicals from manufacturing. Prewashing not only removes this sizing but also allows the fabric to shrink (depending on chosen fabric) approximately. If its just used as ephemera then its probably not a huge deal, but if using on something like a handmade purse (for example) the more prep that is done the better the longevity. Also wondering if makeup sponges would work instead of mr. Clean ones? (They're made with formaldehyde)

[@leela7909]

I'm glad I saw you rip your image by going to hard and fast, so I don't make the same mistake. The Mr. Clean sponge also lifted your image off, so I won't be using that. This is a great tutorial, especially of what not to do :)
