iron-on T-shirt transfers

Steps:

Scan the design and print it out on iron-on transfer paper.
Place face down on the fabric, and iron it on for about 40 seconds, following the iron-on paper's instructions (figure A). Peel off the back while it's still hot.
To personalize wooden items such as a shelf, paint the wood in the color of your choice.

Print out peel-off stickers with the design printed on them, or glue on design elements (figure B). Glue on additional design elements if desired.
