It is easy and precise method to transfer laser print to wood, glass or metal (both need to be painted with acrylic paint first) or fabric - like here. You need special chemistry for cars, gloves to protect your hands,cotton fabric, laser print - if you transfer sentences, need to be reversed like in mirror, scotch tape - or similar one, cotton cosmetic pad and old tea spoon. Ready to see the steps? :)
I used Ikea one. Here are details, I am sure it is available all around the world :)
All the stuff you need is on the picture: a piece of cardboard to put under the fabric (as protection), cotton fabric / ready pillowcase, cotton cosmetic pad, gloves, scotch tape, scissors, laser print and Car Plan Sealed.
Step 1: Put cardboard under the fabric. I used similar one to the pillowcase to show the method.
Step 2: Take your scotch and laser print and put on the fabric, the graphics need to be reversed like in mirror - look to the Coca Cola trade mark.
Put the print on the fabric, use scotch to stick it, but it can not cover the part with the graphic, just blank paper part.
Step 3: Gloves are essential.
Take you Car Plan and put on the cotton cosmetic pad.
Step 4: part by part, sink the print with the cosmetic pad, it dries quickly so to not sink large part.
Step 5. Take tea spoon and gently but firmly rub a teaspoon of moistened part of the print. Your second hand should keep the print to hold it on the right place. continue...
you can check from time to time how it look like under the print.
And that's it.
Your transfer is ready and can be washed in 30 C degrees (86.00 Fahrenheit for my US friends). Enjoy!
Ready pillow case looks like this.
