Creating a one-of-a-kind t-shirt with your child’s favorite design is a fun and easy way to personalize their wardrobe. First, you will need to select a plain t-shirt in the desired size and color.
Next, choose a design that your child loves, from Ink in Style’s library of images or one that they have drawn themselves. Print the design onto iron-on transfer paper and cut it out. Then, preheat the iron to the appropriate temperature and place the transfer onto the t-shirt. Apply heat and pressure with the iron for the recommended amount of time, then allow the transfer to cool before peeling off the backing paper. Once the transfer is in place, the customized t-shirt is ready to wear!

Create t-shirt with your child's favorite design
Creating a one-of-a-kind t-shirt with your child's favorite design is a fun and easy way to personalize their wardrobe.
Before starting your project, consider the type of fabric (cotton, polyester, etc.) that you will be using to ensure that it is suitable for the transfer process.
Choose a transfer that is compatible with the color and material of the fabric that you are using to achieve the best results. (e.g., light-colored transfers for light-colored fabrics and dark-colored transfers for dark-colored fabrics)
Depending on the transfer method that you choose, select a transfer (e.g., iron-on transfers, adhesive vinyl transfers, etc.) that is appropriate and compatible with the transfer method.
Browse through Ink in Style's image library to find a design that your child will love and is appropriate for the occasion.
Once you have selected the design, download and save it to your computer to prepare for printing.
Use a printer to print the design onto the iron-on transfer paper. Make sure to follow the instructions provided by the transfer paper manufacturer.
Cut out the design from the transfer paper and place it onto the t-shirt in the desired location.
Follow the instructions provided by the transfer paper manufacturer to transfer the design onto the t-shirt using either an iron or a heat press. Make sure to apply enough heat and pressure to ensure that the design adheres to the fabric properly.

Care and Storage
Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing the area where the sticker or transfer is applied and store your accessory in a protective sleeve or bag when not in use to prevent damage.
No Washing for 24 Hours
Avoid washing your accessory for at least 24 hours after applying the sticker or transfer to allow it to fully adhere to the material.
