Lesley Riley’s Transfer Artist Paper
is a winner of the 2011 Craft & Hobby Association – Winter Innovations Showcase. Has anyone tried this yet? If so do share your experience with it. I found this browsing over at C&T. Here is Amazon’s product description.
Transfer Artist Paper. Transfer your imagination into art with TAP, a premium-quality transfer paper that allows you to transfer images to virtually any surface with the heat of an iron. Have more fun with fabric, paper, wood, glass, metal, and more! Inkjet print, paint, stamp, or draw images on to TAP. Iron on to surface. Transferred images are crisp and colorfast, washable and crack resistant on fabric. This package contains (5) 11″ x 8-1/2″ sheets. Made in USA.
I’ve bolded the text that makes me want some of this….and now!
I have a package – only tried once – I colored directly on it and tried to iron on to a canvas and was very upset because it didn’t transfer like it said it would – since then I have not tried – not sure if I just didn’t do something right – but I did read the directions over and over again. guess I will give it another try some other day.
I’ve used this a lot. The colors haven’t transferred vibrantly to t-shirts and flour sack cloth, but still love. On dark t-shirts, the colors look vintage. Son loves his personalized Nerf logo shirt. Grandma loves the tea towels made w/ 5 yo’s artwork. Looking forward to trying other materials. One tip is that there’s a noticeable “film” around the images after transfer, so you want to trim closely or frame the image well to be less noticeable. Washes well.
